Sajack has been seen at Kings games too.

What's also funny is that there is no way Wynn can see what is happening- he's legally blind. It appears Taffer is describing what's happening. I've always admired that Wynn would pay for premium seats to basically listen to a game.

A construction friend of mine told me a story of Wynn doing a walk-through of the Bellagio and walked into a pillar and thought the pillar was someone and was swearing at it to look where he's going. I sometimes wonder if my friend is BSing me or not. This was before I heard that he was legally blind.

F-35 pilots to conduct first Stanley Cup Final flyover

Hindsight. Interesting insight into game 2 F-35 flyover. First ever for SCF.

More mayors involved in "betting" on SCF outcome. This time, between the hometowns of the coaches.

Radioactive? Md. radio station boots Imagine Dragons after Golden Knights performance

Any Marylander or WDC or Virginian musical groups to boycott?

Off the top of my head I can only think of Henry Rollins and Dave Grohl.

Can't boycott Grohl. NO!

Sounds like the Killers might perform at game 5 (per LV CBS)

Pressers today look like Turk is talking about some line up changes for game 4.

Guess it might be the most injured, or the most ineffective (which are not necessarily the same thing) who might be scratched. Then who draws in?

 

[LadyStanley]

There is that too.

Tatar needs to be in this lineup IMO, Carpenter should be sent packing

Carpenter is a sentimental favorite of mine, so that might be clouding my judgement, but I think I bounce Perron before Carpenter.

I'm going to rewards game 3 sometime today to confirm that I'm not just being biased.

can anyone shed some light on the "HYDE LIMITED VIEW/NO VIEW" standing room only seats they are offering for $500...

From what I've heard, it's just getting in.

Watch it on live TV in the club in the arena. I think you can wander, though. So you might be able to stake a claim on a spot in a hallway or something.

AIUI those SRO tickets are in Hyde bar. Hyde Lounge | T-Mobile Arena

So, you'd be able to stand/sit around where there is space.

Statement Regarding Clark County Meeting Agenda

VGK requested it be removed from agenda

Personally I think the biggest wildcard might be which Holtby do we see?
I did some checking and in their 7 losses (7!) during the playoffs, he let in 3.7gpg.

In their 12 wins, 1.75 gpg.

Tale of 2 Holtbys!

No idea where you're getting your goals-against numbers, but they're wrong.

Holtby has played in 6 Caps losses this postseason, and has let in 16 goals (2.67 goals/game)
Holtby has played in 12 Caps wins this postseason, and has let in 21 goals (1.75 goals/game)

That's a difference of 0.92 goals/game, not the 1.95 you claimed.

For comparison:
Fleury has played in 3 Vegas losses this postseason, and has let in 12 goals (4.00 goals/game)
Fleury has played in 12 Vegas wins this postseason, and has let in 15 goals (1.25 goals/game)

That's a difference of 2.75 goals/game.

Seems more like a tale of two Fleurys to me.

Bump from before the series started.

Guess I was wrong. It's been a tale of one Fleury in the final...

Credit where it is due.

Holtby has played well—and his team’s willingness to throw bodies in the lanes and block shots has helped to limit the dangerous opportunities. Lots of shots hitting the post (part of the game obvs) that could have gone either way but didn’t.

The Caps are super tough when on. They have done what it takes to shut down the Knights (mentally, too), at least thus far.

 

[LadyStanley]

Never say never

 

[ChanceVegas]

I'd never say never... I may say unlikely...

Just one game at a time like VGK has preached all season. Get that first line going next game, get more help to MAF from the defenders, get the Fortress rocking and we got a good shot in the next one.

 

[Vegan Knight]

Based on the numbers of how many times teams have been down 3-1 and come back, VGK has about a 1 in 11 chance.

Not very high but you gotta take it one game at a time. Use the energy of the home crowd and the urgency of the situation to try to find a way to get one win.

 

[Penguinfan66]

I'm a fan of neither team but wanted Vegas to win. Hope they do. Im a fan of the Caps rival....Penguins.
Very impressed with what GMGM has done. Good for the game and continued success of a new franchise. I'll congratulate either team....won't troll either...heck i strangely decided to use my actual name as my username which would make that even more moronic(perhaps should change it)

500-1, that makes 11-1 seem like no problem.
