Series Talk: Stanley Cup Final VGK (West) vs Capitals (East)

[BattleBorn]

The Knights have a 100% chance of winning Game 5 as far as I’m concerned.

After that, it’s all about the Caps and how they handle the pressure of a choking ass city expecting them to not choke. The pressure is on them. We can play our game.

We can win our game.

Let’s play our game.

72% home win record. Very respectable.

I am liking those chances.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

We need a GDT guys. Need to copy it to the playoffs board.

Game is tomorrow, Mr Chairman!

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Game is tomorrow, Mr Chairman!

LMAO holy crap.

Yeah I look like an idiot.

Thanks.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Yeah I look like an idiot.

Thanks.

It feels like a week since the last game. All of us are ready for some hockey.

Absolutely. I didn't realize there's a two day wait. You guys must be on pins and needles waiting this long to get back to winning on home ice.

 

[BattleBorn]

Game is tomorrow, Mr Chairman!

The chairman is high. Disregard him.

Who's doing tomorrow? I think we've eliminated HanSolo and myself considering the last two results.

 

[LadyStanley]

oooOOOOoooo
(Hearing it may be at Bellagio per sinbin.vegas)




Go go!

 

[LadyStanley]

And Karlsson skipped today for maintenance.

 

[LadyStanley]

sigh

NHL Now: Colin Miller really banged up; feeling better today, not sure if he'll be playing tomorrow.

I thought he was faking it? Everyone on the main boards says he took a dive.

Bookers had Vegas as a favorite entering the series, this is based on playoff and regular season statistics. Still giving odds as a favor of vegas in a single game (when home / away advantage counted in). Just bad timing for a short losing streak. What kind of a contract does Gallant have? Would lock him immediately considering vegas and panthers performance under his vision.

Knights will be fine. They're the chokers, not us. Outside of the choking thus far, the pressure not to choke is on them.

We know nothing about Gallant's contract, believe it or not. I'm assuming he's got 3 years from the beginning of this season based on the whole Playoffs in 3/Cup In 6 thing.

 

[Vegan Knight]

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

I read an article that said those odds weren't the real chance Vegas had, and it was closer to 250-1 but the point you make is no less valid.

(The same article said Leicester's 5000-1 odds were more like 500-1 in reality)

Their history actually makes me more pessimistic about our chances. I think they will be on guard and focused that much more, knowing full well what they've done in the past. I'd honestly rather they had no real reputation either way, choking or clutch.

 

[Boris Zubov]

History means nothing come tomorrow night. The bottom line is the Knights need to score the first goal, play with the lead & win a hockey game. Can't come all the way back in one game.

The forwards have to establish their forecheck & capitalize on their chances. We haven't had the lead since Neal scored the first goal in Game 2. It's time for some breaks to go our way. Simple as that.

We'll see how you feel when the Knights win tomorrow and the entire narrative changes from crowning Ovi the Conn Smythe winner and second greatest player of his era to "is this the ultimate Caps choke ever?"

 

[VegasFan6842]

Have feeling this is going to go 7. Knights win tomorrow!!!(fingers crossed)they are due to win road game in DC, thru could’ve easily won last game but had bad luck with Neal hitting post and holtby making great save. Luck is bound to and will go Vegas’ way.

I'm seeing some optimism here, and it makes me feel good!

Also, this. I count five French Canadians on the VGK roster compared to just one for the Caps.

Celine Dion is French Canadian.

Celine Dion lives and works in Las Vegas.

Connect the dots!

 

[Nevada Jones]

That's great!
