OT: Around the NHL - Conference Finals N'at

[Empoleon8771]

Vegas still has some of its own things it needs to figure out in the finals. They can't be relying on Fleury putting up a .950 save% to win a series, they have to be getting some better depth scoring. Their top-6 is producing pretty well, but they need to be getting more from Eakin's line and Bellemare's line. They're chipping in timely goals (like that Reaves goal), but they need to be more consistent in producing.

Well, I guess this puts things in perspective for us pens fans. Woof.

 

[Rossi Rat]

I mean personally I figured this was over the moment Ovechkin scored but if this series of events since doesn’t have you convinced...

Look on the bright side, it’ll make for a more interesting final with more rooting interest for some of us at least right?

 

[Rudy Russo]

Good Night. Go Vegas!! Tampa not having their chances go in tonight just like the pens in past playoff games.

 

[Pancakes]

And i'll say it again. Caps are the most opportunistic team that I can remember. Tampa 2016 and Ottawa 2017 were both dangerous, but I give the nod to Washington.

Really? It's 2017 Pens AINEC. We won a Cup last year by getting outplayed constantly but scoring on our chances

 

[Gurglesons]

Ovie is so good lol.

 

[fastb]

Wow, Caps in the Finals. Feels like high school all over again.

 

[turd]

Ballgame.

Ovechkin finally getting his opportunity.

 

[BHD]

Lol you know when Bura scores your team is done

No shame in Burakovsky scoring. Although, you get the feeling that tonight is not Tampa's night.

 

[DeadPuckEra]

Marc Andre....

You are the last hope.

No, it makes me want to watch less. Probably won't catch much of it. Can't stand that org.

 

[USMC607]

Cue the Super Mario death music.

 

[Turin]

I blame Columbus tbh

I'm confused. Did Tampa have a night this entire series?

 

[TNT87]

I hope Reaves absolutely destroys that piece of garbage Wilson.

 

[vodeni]

one thing I noticed Caps were doing to us and now to Tampa, they never rushed their changes, somehow whenever the opponent changes, they had forward on the opposite side always totally uncovered, and they rarely dump the puck to no one to change, they hold onto the puck and wait for their change, that really created many odd man and one on one rushes

Is Washington going to the cup?? Is this reality?

The Knights having home ice in the finals is huge for their chances. They're so good there.

Washington has been good on the road this playoffs but good luck in Vegas. The Knights are the one team this playoffs that truly takes advantage of home ice.

 

[turd]

I blame Columbus tbh

They had a pathetic PP in OT of game three that could’ve probably ended that series.

 

[vodeni]

I'm confused. Did Tampa have a night this entire series?

no, they had one, literally one period where they dominated, even the games they won, they were worse team just kind of fluky

 

[LOGiK]

Is Washington going to the cup?? Is this reality?

Could be a bad acid trip.

 

[vodeni]

one thing hopefully will make difference Vegas' players may be as hungry as Caps, they may skate and really push as hard, tampa barely skated entire series

 

[DeadPuckEra]

Washington VS McPhee

Marc Andre, we call upon thee...

 

[LOGiK]

LOL@ that caps fan going for high fives to the lightning as they go to the locker room.

 

[cygnus47]

Could be a bad acid trip.

It would be SO Capitals to lose it from here. I think beating us and having less expectations will let them pull it out though. There aren't going to be any penalties called no matter how many guys they headlock and they're good in front of their own net.

 

[Rossi Rat]

LOL@ that caps fan going for high fives to the lightning as they go to the locker room.

That’s so fitting. They really are the new Caps
