It's funny to watch Vegas play once you realize it's essentially the puck carrier giving it to the dman to shoot - over, and over, and over again.
I think Dallas takes it tbh I feel like Tampa is struggling with injuries and could see Dallas’ play style easily taking out Point and Hedman.
If Khudobin can keep it going. We rarely see goalies like him sustain that level of play in net all throughout.
Saw the "elite" players come out for Dallas tonight. Klingberg and Benn.
The guy who had 39 points in the regular season? That Jamie Benn?
TB vs Dallas is going to be a great matchup.
Elite compared to who exactly?Do you really not think Benn is not elite?

Out of curiosity would you take any of those players over Kucherov or Point?I mean, I consider all of Seguin, Benn, and Pavelski "elite" despite what their regular season might indicate.
I don't know if I through Radulov in that mix, but he's close.

Way to piss away a Cup VGK. God, I f***ing hate the garbage rope-a-dope shit Dallas plays. TB better smoke them in the finals.
Lehner with the MM special in OT. Loser.
I wouldn't hell no. The thing is, it's been a long time that a favorite has lost in the Cup finals I believe. With the exception of last year you'd have to go back to 2009 when we beat the Wings to find the underdog win the cup. Also, Pittsburgh was expected to win all those years only to fall short, then Washington before they finally one. I see a similar pattern here with the Bolts. But again they need to be relatively healthy. They're more mobile, have the better goalie, more high end talent and better quality depth.Hm. I dunno, I think I'd take prime Benn over them for sure though.
