Series Talk: SCF: Panthers vs. Golden Knights

[pb1300]

With Dallas extending the series, we still don’t know who we will face. It most likely will be Vegas, but you never know in these playoffs

Regardless of both teams being in the WCFs, and how talented both are, I think this will be our easiest matchup of the playoffs. I think I’d prefer Vegas, just to stick it to those two former Cats. I think we can be physical with them, and I’d rather face their goalie as well.

Florida after Dallas got a win against Vegas last night:

Add another poll option. I have no preference. Just want the trophy.

Done

 

[Prominence Problem]

That poll has major "we want Florida " vibes.

I have no preference.

 

[letsgrowcactus]

I voted no preference, but I worry a bit that a prolonged break could cool off whatever wave we're riding now. In that regard, Vegas winning in 5 might be better for us.

OTOH, a longer break means Bob and the guys getting more rest, so, who knows?

 

[BeezKnees]

The answer is Vegas. At this point, if Dallas were to pick up steam and come all the way back from 3-0, trust me, we want nothing to do with that.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I wanted Dallas but @BeezKnees addressed this perfectly, hockey is all about momentum, I don't want to touch a team that reverse sweeps. So Ideally Vegas in 6 or 7 with a couple 4 OT games mixed in. Gotta imagine Vegas wins in 5 but Dallas has controlled play for long stretches, if they win game 5 it's going to be interesting.

Also too as @letsgrowcactus said, Bob is better when he gets rest, this picture is making the rounds, Adin Hill looks like he has huge pads but Bob is legit like 150 soaking wet, he needs that recovery time.

Didn’t we have a week off after the Leafs ? How did that work out……

 

[FinlandPanther]

I’m not a Toronto fan so I’ll take whoever comes our way. This is the finals, no team is easier. Both teams in the west will give us problems. Preferring any team at this point is just nonsense. You gotta beat the best to be the best.

 

[5 Hole]

Most likely it’s Vegas, but I don’t care. Let them drag it out and beat the shit out of each other. We’ll be waiting.

 

[These Are The Days]

Win it all. Win that shit Flo Bros

Both Vegas and Dallas are probably salivating at the thought of playing Florida, because they think we got lucky and it’ll be an easy path to the cup for them.

The loser of that series is going to lament the “amazing missed opportunity”. So I say let’s crush Vegas or Dallas, whichever the f*** it is.

Neither one scares me we need a road split regardless of where we open the series.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Ticketmaster is such trash....been bounced from the queue like 15 times. Probably too late now.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Not going to answer the poll question, as I don't like to tempt fate.

But I will say that I think Vegas is the stronger team and also matches up better against the Panthers. I don't think it matters, Dallas had to struggle to get one win at home in this series, they're not going to reverse sweep this.

 

[I am not exposed]

Neither. Can they just hand us the cup instead.

Whoever is the most tired.

Their series hasn’t been overly physical.
I want us to jump on them physically and get in
their faces early. Overwhelm them.

Get the first game and have them on their heels.

No stinkin stupid penalties..

 

[I am not exposed]

Vegas. So if we lose at least Smith and Marchessault win the Stanley Cup. Hopefully in Florida.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

It is definitely amusing to see WC fans bragging about how big and physical these teams are. I think the only hit I've seen in this entire series was Jamie Benn deciding to go berserk on Mark Stone and get himself suspended two games for his trouble.
