I had Vegas repeating, this time over Carolina. With stone coming back, adding hanifin, hertl and mantha, even Martinez came back on top of the team they already had, I just don’t see how anyone in the west is taking them out. I get Dallas finished as the top seed and have really deep offense, but this Vegas team is a different animal and by no surprise they’re finding that out. Only possible way a team eliminates them or hell even gets a series to 7 is if Thompson shits the bed. Oettinger has been way too inconsistent for me to think he’d come out on top over this team, I haven’t been thrilled with thompsons play in a lot of the games I watch of theirs but yeah, this just sucks all around. Don’t get how people were doubting them just because they had a lousy regular season. They were always going to be pretty much healthy as soon as the playoffs started and those guys in the playoffs is just a different story. Hope Dallas pulls it off somehow, or anyone in the west, but I just don’t see it
We’re in a good position in our series, still gotta close the deal. With Tampa that’ll always be a tall task, but of course our most competitive window has to coincide with a juggernaut on the other side
