It’s funny that people think that Vegas is winning because of their depth. Their depth is mediocre. Their stars are their team. MAF, Marchessault, Karlsson. Perron, Neal, Schmidt, Miller. They aren’t winning because of their third line or bottom pairing.
Vegas' 4th line was an absolute game changer against LA. Also, your list is missing a couple of notable names. Smith, possibly the best forward in the series. Theodore, Haula. McNabb with a game winning goal. That's about 3/4 of the team right there. I'd call that depth or maybe Vegas has 12 star players.

That's...half true.It’s funny that people think that Vegas is winning because of their depth. Their depth is mediocre. Their stars are their team. MAF, Marchessault, Karlsson. Perron, Neal, Schmidt, Miller. They aren’t winning because of their third line or bottom pairing.
Ah. Should've kept reading.Having a good series is not indicative of much. Marcus Sorensen was possibly the Sharks' most key scorer in the Ducks series.
I'm not saying Vegas' depth is bad. I'm saying that they win because their stars are excellent. Which is not the narrative the media is playing. This "they have three second lines" business is absolute nonsense.
How am I quoting myself in this post?Vegas' 3C said:To add to your analysis, Carpenter, who is a 4th line mainstay for the Knights, was released by the Sharks mid season. Vegas got him for bubkis, and he turned up his production substantially (36 gp, 9 goals). It's chemistry, I guess. And they did go after a 3rd line C, Tatar, who is a healthy scratch..... None of this makes any sense.
And Gibson's against Quick's is what? Context is needed my dear friend. If you like Jones and think he's good so let it be, I will take nothing against you for that. I just believe that Jones is easily one of the worst starters on a decent playoff club in the league. He can prove me wrong in this series because I will be watching hopefully.
A lot of goaltending stats are skewed by team play which doesn't take that into account. It's a reason why I don't consider Holtby a top tier goaler either while posting good numbers too.
Sharks have 9 players with goals and 15 players with points. This basically means nothing though.
That means the team has offensive prowess.
Or 8 different guys scored in 1 game haha.
Didn't expect SJ to look miles ahead of Anaheim, it'll be interesting how they handle thee Knights speed, they struggled mightily with it against Pittsburgh in the final a few years ago.
Vegas is the scariest team in the NHL playoffs. Sidney Crosby has 10 points in 5 games and has failed to end the Flyers in less than 6 games. Pastranak has 11 points in 5 games and has failed to end the Leafs in less than 6 games.
The top scorer on Vegas has 3 points! And they 4-0'ed their opponent. That is ****ing terrifying.
