Sort of weird how we have 12 western conference teams playing but no Eastern
The way our seasons have gone, I think rooting for no injuries would have pointless anyway.I haven't been so excited for a regular season game in a long time.
Cutter Gauthier's NHL debut and very interested to see how he looks on a line with Leo Carlsson.
Jakob Silfverberg's final NHL game
Never been to a fan appreciation night game (Vegas' looks a bit disappointing for game 82. They gave away bobble heads for the Chicago game, but for game 82 they're giving away a custom VGK poker chip (lame) and jersey off the back is for pre-selected fans in the crowd)
And added consideration that I personally don't want to see Vegas' unprepared defense and goaltending pummeled in Round 1 before they've had a better chance to warm up (not to discredit Dallas but I fear Edmonton's offense more) so I'll be rooting for Anaheim instead of no injuries like I usually do when these teams play.
Anyway, all those factors combined, I splurged on lower bowl tickets for me, my dad and 7 year old nephew who's starting to get into hockey.
Everyone gets an injury tonight! Maybe a bad case of Dysentery spreads through both teamsThe way our seasons have gone, I think rooting for no injuries would have pointless anyway.
You can't lose to the Blackhawks, we already booked in losing to the Ducks.Kings losing to the Blackhawks would be the perfect capstone to the NHL season.
The Oilers are all yours. We're booking our early exit with the Stars.You can't lose to the Blackhawks, we already booked in losing to the Ducks.
I offered to give Arizona our playoff spot, and they know how to beat Edmonton too.The Oilers are all yours. We're booking our early exit with the Stars.
Declined. You are mandated to win 1 round.I offered to give Arizona our playoff spot, and they know how to beat Edmonton too.
@hangman005 Vegas is used to loopholes, @Zirakzigil never explicitly stated what year you had to win that 1 round.Declined. You are mandated to win 1 round.

I have faith in the kings losing to ChicagoThe Oilers are all yours. We're booking our early exit with the Stars.
The only team Kings fans "wanted" was Vancouver.I'm confused, do the Kings fans want Dallas or Edmonton?
Now that bottom 2 are decided I don't mind seeing my Blackhawks win.
Hopefully Bedard gets a hat trick.
Comparing a 1 (Vancouver ) vs 4 ( Nashville) to a 2 (Winnipeg) vs 3 (Colorado) ? of course a 2/3 matchup will be tougher, it's designed that way. Vancouver/Nashville (pacific) is tougher than the Dallas/LA(LV) the Central matchup.( just my option)Are Vegas and Kings both icing full line ups?
Just interested in any implications of wanting Dallas or Edmonton haha. But I'd imagine both teams want to be higher in the standings, the pacific bracket is overall a bit easier too as Van/NSH isn't as dangerous as Col/WPG (just my opinion).
Not sure I would call Vegas an easier matchup when they are icing a roster with 20% higher cap hit than anyone else.Comparing a 1 (Vancouver ) vs 4 ( Nashville) to a 2 (Winnipeg) vs 3 (Colorado) ? of course a 2/3 matchup will be tougher, it's designed that way.
