conundrumed Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Should be quite the final. I believe Vegas will take it in 7. I'll be cheering for the Caps, but can't overlook what Vegas did to the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I treally think that the Caps will prevail. No doubt that MAF is the better of the two goalies, but I can see him having trouble against the Caps. Watching the Caps play the Bolts, I felt that a team with smaller forwards was going to lose to the Caps. It probably would be a closer matchup with the Bolts against the VGK, but that is not happening (hehehe). Caps in 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrox Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Caps in 6 I'm thinking. I got to go with Caps though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I want to call Vegas a Cinderella but can't because they were the real deal in the regular season. They are no 8th seed that fluked to the Finals. They are going to do it. I'd love to cheer for OV to win his first Cup because he's such a great sport and ambassador to the game. I probably will cheer for OV to win this one but i just feel the VGK will get it done and make history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheersMan Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'll be rooting for the 23 undesirables. Knights in 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Last round I said i'ts hard to pick against Vegas. I picked against Vegas and was wrong. Fool me once..... Which also means now that i'm picking the Knights they will lose so my apologies in advance to any Vegas fans. I'd prefer to see Ovie do it to shut up the critics but i'm not betting against them so Knights it is. Knights in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too old to believe in fairy tales & see the LVK as exactly that. Too Disney movie Mighty Ducks for me. Saccharin makes me gag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many cups being won on Mondays. Love. But Monday makes a shorter wait for the parade. If Vegas wins, that's a lot of ADD, maybe no one would show up for a parade 7 days later, lol. Now it feels kinda cheezy, like Super Bowl week, too inflated. As a hockey fan, 5 days of chatter about people's reactions to Vegas is a bit much. Winning a series in under 7 games was always a bonus. Lick your wounds get ready. In one foul season, that's suddenly not a thing? Oh well, games were running alongside the Memorial Cup regardless. I should be looking at it as a win. Take your positives, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebrewcrew Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I want the Caps to win, but I think it's the Knights year. Really hope this prediction is wrong, but VGK will sweep WSH (in close games) to gives us the first sweep in the cup final since 1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conundrumed Posted May 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 All squared up. Hopefully Kuz is okay, that would be a huge loss for the Caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrox Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 And probably no serious repercussions for Eric Haula after the game (He was given a 5 minute slashing major and a regular misconduct for his actions after the final whistle. Normally a 5 minute slashing major is worth a game misconduct, but for some reason they didn't give him that. Probably because that would be a strike towards a 1 game playoff suspension). Either way, glad Caps tied it. But how about Tiger (Eller). Montreal has got to be regretting giving him up for 2 second round picks right now. He almost has as many points this playoffs as Pacioretty has in his playoff career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the obvious Caps, I'll one up you with Oshie. He's totally fired up, and when he's out there, he is noticeable almost all of the time. No disrespect to the Golden Misfits, if the game can get racey and out of control tempo, they've got 'er. It seems the Caps have realized, "If this gets high scoring, we're gonna lose". See what Game 3 holds. Excellent hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
