Series Talk: WCF VGK (Pacific) vs Jets (Central)

[Big Daddy Cane]

Since 11-12, a conference finalist with home ice advantage that has won Game 1 of the 3rd round has gone on to lose the series 5 out of 6 times; the 12 Rangers, 14 Blackhawks, 15 Rangers, 15 Ducks and 16 Blues all lost their respective series after winning Game 1 at home with the 13 Blackhawks being the only team to advance in that situation. A rather narrow stat, but reason for hope.

Ooooo...I like that a lot!

Jets are so screwed

 

[Nevada Jones]

I always like to read opposition GDT and series threads and one thing that I've noticed is that the Vegas HFBoard posters are the only fanbase that I haven't even seen one derogatory term from regarding the Jets or their fans. I may have missed one somewhere, but regardless, you guys are awesome. I've said this before, that I tried not to like Vegas when GMGM pulled his little trade deadline stunt, but I can't help but like this team and it's fans. I think your management did an amazing job putting this team together and I'm looking forward to a lot of great matchups!

We're pretty fortunate so far, having mostly quality, high character posters on our part of the HFBoards.

In fact, I have only one person on ignore!

 

[Nevada Jones]

Jets are so screwed

 

[Supermassive]

You missed a lot more than just one.

Lots of slurs on individual plays, our fans' cockiness, and really childish variations for spelling Winnipeg.

Not necessary, man. Might want to either play nice, or head back to HF Jets.

Where have you seen that on this board?!?

Hmmm

It’s me isn’t it

I think he's either trolling or got confused with another board because I've read both the GDT and the series thread and I didn't see anything like that. But if I do, I'll remember that all fanbases have a few clowns and clowns like to be loud and noticed.

Back on topic, can't wait to see what VGK brings in game 2. I figure that the Jets schedule is going to catch up with them and they'll be a bit slower than normal. I hope Reaves and Buff have a showdown to see who is actually stronger out of the two of them!

I also saw someone say that the 104 degree temperatures would melt us Winnipeggers, but I've been to Vegas plenty, I know that air conditioning happens about every 40 steps! (and plenty of drinks)

It’s not so much the Vegas heat that will you winnipegers, but that to be nice and hospitable Vegas fans will follow you all around keeping you warm with giant industrial heaters

Bring it on! I'm kind of strange when it comes to heat. When I get in my car during the hottest parts of the year, I don't roll my windows down and I don't use the air conditioning. I love that baking in the heat type feeling! Although my favorite is really the humid heat in Florida. Heat > Cold. Which yeah, is kind of odd considering where I live.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Can anyone point me to the expected Vegas lineup?

I’ll take cold, then dry heat and if I absolutely must humid heat. You always put more clothes on when your cold, only so many you can take off before you get arrested.

 

[hangman005]

Don’t know where you would find it but the line up for last game would probably work. Carrier for Reaves is the only possible change I would expect

 

[LadyStanley]

Who's doing the GDT? You do NOT want me to start it again!

 

[Nevada Jones]

It’s me isn’t it

Yes. I can't read a thing you've written.

 

[hangman005]

Who's doing the GDT? You do NOT want me to start it again!

Don't worry I got this.... then again last time I got this we lost 4-0 so maybe do worry. I was excellent in the regular season... I guess today we will see if I'm a playoff choker

 

[hangman005]

Yes. I can't read a thing you've written.

I knew my hand writting was bad.... but for it to transfer onto the screen like that..... wow computers can do any thing

 

[Aurinko]

They need to fix the second line. Neal with 6,8% is just unbearable to watch. You could move Haula or Perron to 3rd, you could bring Carpy to 2nd... anything goes.

Las Vegas mayor makes Golden Knights bet with Winnipeg leader

Las Vegas and Winnipeg mayors make a bet over series.

 

[Bart9349]

It would have been hard to imagine that the Knights would still be playing meaningful hockey in May. I think most people would have thought the Knights schedule would have been essentially over by the All-Star break in late January.

I think most people don't remember that the Knights actually beat the Jets in the regular season: Regular season meetings: VGK, 5-2 (11/10); WPG, 7-4 (12/1); VGK, 3-2 OT (2/1). (Reading the Winnipeg boards, one would have thought that the Jets had easily swept the regular season.)

Oh, well. Let's enjoy the moment.

By the way, I heard there is a big Vegas Golden Knights rally right now at the Sands to celebrate the Knights victory earlier tonight. One can expect a lot of superstars to be there, also. These guys know a thing or two about being the best show in town. And they are looking for any excuse to throw a good party.

"What the heck is this idiot talking about?"

 

[Vegas Mac]

Hmmm

The hate is strong in Nashville faithful. I love it.

Re: tonight's game... It is possible the Knights are still getting better right before our eyes. That was one helluva game by them vs a world class opponent. We got a series dudes and I'm effin pumped to see how game 3 goes.

 

[ChanceVegas]

Outstanding win and it feels great! Not trying to be too much of a downer, but let's keep in mind what they did to Nashville on the road last series. Winnipeg is a good road team for sure.
