SCF GM 3: Vegas @ Florida - 8pm ET/5pm PT (VGK leads 2-1)

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Making this thread early because the last one is bleak. I am on a huge GDT win streak so I will take 100% credit when they win. Luostarinen and Gudas may be back (seems unlikely at this point) but at least PoMo can line match now.



First home Cup finals game since '96, get excited! This is a team that came back from down 3-1 vs Boston and won 8 of 9 vs Toronto and Carolina, that's 11 of 12. And they can't win 4 of 5 vs Vegas? It can be done. And for when this thread gets copied to the mainboard, to the people who tell me "No" to this, I don't care, your team is out! And to the 2 Vegas fans who says "No" to this, because there's literally 2 on HF boards (this isn't a fanbase joke it's just no one signed up for a forum after 2014), your jokes about the refs got stale 3 minutes into game 1, I am begging you please stop no one finds it funny.

You gotta keep believing (unless they lose this one, then you can stop)

But for now just enjoy this, it's been an unbelievable run

I think Panthers will come out regrouped tonight. Hoping for a good game with minimal ref involvement and fan complaining lol.

Cheering for Panthers to get one back and make this a series. Hoping Tkachuk and Bennett look controlled after whistles too. Hopefully there's no negative feelings between the coach and Maatthew either.

 

[Sticksandsun]

Today we show everyone why we're here!

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Just sums it all up really ....

 

[ChanceVegas]

Go Go!

 

[Neil Racki]

Come on Panthers .. simon says get the f*** up

 

[hangman005]

Go Vegas... you get that hole in one.

 

[Mathews28]

Tkachuk and Bennett tied for PIM lead going into tonight.

Who wants it more? Who’s taking the trophy for least disciplined/cheapest?

 

[theslatcher]

Will be interesting to see if Maurice can coach the Panthers into being a lot more disciplined.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Feels like the home team usually wins game 3 when down 0-2.

It happened in:

03
06
07
08
09
10
11
16
17
22

Adrenaline and rush of the crowd. The biggest game of all will be game 4 for both teams.

5-1 Cats win tonight

 

[Felidae]

Only 2% of teams have come back from a 3-0 deficit, and only 1 team has ever done it in the SCF.

Needless to say, this is nearly a must win for the Panthers. Get your shit together please.

Hoping for at the very least a competitive game this time around.

 

[BattleBorn]

First 10 minutes probably tells the story on this one. Vegas gets up early and goes into road game mode and it's going to be tough for the Panthers. I fully expect Florida to come out and make a statement early, keep the crowd involved and try to roll. Last change might make a difference and Hill has been solid, but I can't stop thinking he's got to let in a couple softies eventually.

Hopefully a good game that ends in a 3-0 series lead.

Come on cats, show some

Atleast score the first goal

Wait a minute...I thought that how the average HFboard poster looks now

[HanSolo]

Anxious about this game. I don't think a loss would be the end of the world for Vegas but I'm hoping they don't let Florida take significant control of the game. Don't let the confidence ramp up too much is all I'm saying. If they lose but make it really hard for Florida, it can go either way in game 4.

Either way I hope Vegas makes life difficult for Florida from opening puck drop to the final whistle.

 

[nightonthesun]

going with 3-2 cats tonight

I just imagined what it’d be like to put actual money down on that. Imagine gambling on hockey. How silly

 

[BattleBorn]

Commentators around the team (Hnidy, Goucher, McKenna, Sinbin Guys, etc.) are more confident about the Knights than I can remember them ever being. There's a tendency to have a twinge of Chicken Little in many/most of them most of the time. It makes me nervous.

 

[ViD]

Bob resurrection starts tonight

 

[MacMacandBarbie]

Well it’s a shame, panthers seem like they just want the for stuck in them after the first two games, but would love to see them hit another level and make it a series.

I don't want to listen to Journey tonight

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Feel a "low effort" game tonight for Vegas as the Lazy Knights put in an appearance.
