    Look out Vegas - Break out BTO!

    Comment


      Apparently Burton Cummings is booked in to sing the National anthem if we make the finals. So there's that to look forward to.

        Remarkable for Nashville, which has had the best defense, to get blown out at home in such a big game.

          They lost three games at home to the Jets. Rinne looked a shadow of his former self at times, but he wasn't helped by the fact that Winnipeg can just pour goals on you almost at will.

          Now my Bruins are out, I'm on the Jets bandwagon.

            I figured there would've been at least one game that wasn't a four-goaler. I can't remember many times a team won 3 away from home. I think the Isles did it against Pittsburgh in that amazing 1993 series.

            Congrats AG.

            What a frozen four:

            Tampa Bay v Washington
            Winnepeg v Vegas

              Tempting fate, etc, but tell me we aren't the best out of those four on performance so far.

              That said, I could see us running out of gas. 7 games v. Nashville has to take a lot out of the tank.

                Every word of this is correct.

                      Whereas we have to pay to see it.

                        Winnipeg off to a very fast start. First goal at 1:05, second on a power play.

                          These are not your elder siblings' Washington Capitals

                            It's almost as if they have got a massive hoodoo off their back.

                              Vegas level the series against Winnipeg. From the highlights they seemed to do it despite Marc-Andre Fleury rather than because of him.

                                Flower stole it for Vegas last night.

                                  He's in the Jets heads now. They are really going to do it, aren't they?

                                    Sweden win the World Championships, beating Switzerland in a penalty shoot out after a 2-2 draw.

                                      Brilliant game too.

                                        Yes, I only saw the latter half or so but it was compelling stuff.

                                          Vegas are going to the Finals.

                                            Vegas going to the finals doesn't feel like a Cinderella story as much as it feels like the NHL is just shit and boring now.

                                            Comment


                                              The NHL's certainly a shit organisation, but that's been true for decades. Boring's more subjective, I find the EPL boring but millions disagree. I do think that trying to achieve team parity over such a long season has turned some people off (like me) but, again, I don't know how many. As noted upthread I wonder if the success of Vegas, and the almost as surprising lack of same in Edmonton, will lead fans — and teams — to question the importance of high draft picks. If so that might be a good thing.

                                                i also have an MLS Cup, so to be honest a deep Jets run felt greedy. But yeah, too bad. That Jets team had a ton of great chemistry, I think they will hold most of it together for next year though so fingers crossed.

                                                  And we will have a Game Seven in Tampa on Wednesday

                                                    It got real quiet in Tampa after that second goal.
