Good on Dallas. Vegas goaltending is starting to show some cracks. I'll still be surprised as hell if they pull it off.

I agree, down 3-0 is a tough spot to be in for sure but they are making a go of it. Fun games to watch.

Looks like Benn back is a bad omen. Going to be real tough getting 4 past Hill.

I humorously wondered if the Stars would healthy scratch him.

Down 4-0 with 20 minutes left to play, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say my bet with Moose is safe...

Indeed. Florida/Vegas Saturday night. Game 1 for the right to hoist the best trophy awarded.
*Edit - the 3rd might get messy

Down to the final 3 and a 6-0 game. Just another fine example of the "excellent" hockey we've had in this years playoffs.

All the Panthers series have been good hockey to watch, looking forward to the final. I like hockey. Go Panthers.

Think Bennet is going to have a field day in the first game. Well the Dallas/Vegas series was physical there was a lot of reaching for the puck and leaning on players. Not a lot of bone crunching hits and many players with their heads down looking at the puck.

That's funny, beer league hockey. What does that say about all the other teams that didn't make it to the final. As much as I would have liked to see the Oiler's make it to the final, they were beat by Vegas. Both Florida and Vegas made it through 3 rounds when the other teams didn't so they I think they deserve some credit. Should be a good series and I will be watching.

^ I thought I have seen better games, but it was OK. Panthers need to take more penalties because 7 per game wouldn’t cut it.

That was my frugal attempt at sarcasm as a well know hockey enthusiast and member here on the AO referred to the playoffs this year as " beer league " sorry if it was lost in translation.

Not impressed with Tkuchuk in final minutes of the Vegas game.
He sucker punched a guy in the face who was pinned in a head lock. That has no place in the game. He should get a game to sit and not play. He needs a lesson in sportsmanship.

He wouldn’t be acting like that if Reeves was still patrolling the ice for Vegas....refs officiate the game but players set the tone.

He's an after the whistle kinda player who gets away with a lot but is learning a big lesson in maturity right now from Vegas.
The apple didn't fall far from the tree with Matthew so maybe he shouldn't take all the blame. Brady must have been the black sheep in the family.

Another can of whoop butt last night, LV is rolling, Chukie lowered the boom on Eichel, good clean open ice hit but the outcome of the game was never in doubt.

Florida lost the first two games against the Bruins and went on to win the series. Hope they can rebound and win the next game. Its obvious who the refs are favoring. Ray Charles can see it ffs. Likely getting direction from the league imo.

Do they though?
Vegas seems to get a pass with all their slashing and hacking, not really a surprise since they are Bettmans baby.
Just like the Ducks of years past, the refs seem to misplace their whistles when Getzlaf the goof and his goon squad went to work with their sticks, kinda like Vegas these days.
I quit watching cause I despise both teams, for very different reasons. I heard last nights game got out of hand, that's what happens when the refs don't call a square game, players take liberties. Expect more of the same since Bettmans baby wont face the same on ice scrutiny that Florida will.
