Oh definitely. No question. Still though there's that window where a President's trophy would be pretty cool for Vegas that won't stay open forever.
Oh I don't believe it's a curse (at all) as much as the NHL playoffs anything could conceivably happen. I mean Vegas themselves bent everyone's expectations pretty much every round but the Finals. I remember how after the G1 WCF loss, the idea that the Jets were too much for Vegas was so commonplace around this site it practically reflected what common sense should be and you'd be foolish to think otherwise. "Vegas got gifted a great team" as a common complaint/excuse really took off while Vegas was reverse sweeping the Jets.
Down to two teams. Colorado controls their own destiny. As long as Colorado wins both their games they win the President's trophy. Best case scenario they beat LA and Vegas loses to SJ on Wednesday and they can rest their players on Thursday.
Yea they'd need to win all their games and Vegas and Colorado would have to lose all their games. Considering Vegas/Colorado is playing San Jose/LA it's not very likely. Also at least one of Toronto's win would have to be in regulation.
They played unbelievable. As an Avs fan I didn’t fear Vegas nearly as much as other fans as the Avs played them really wel this year, even in their losses. However that effort last night was terrifying. The Avs play the game with pace and structure but Vegas plays with intelligence and poise. Their experience shows in the way they play and they’re going to be hard to beat.
