Not that it matters, but is there a particular reason you can't stand the Jets?

 

In any event, I have the Jets in 6, but will probably be wrong like I was about every division final this year.

[Western Red]

Jets in 6, will be quite the test. Difference is D. Win just shredded the undisputed #1 D in the league. VGK maybe top half. 

 

Vegas will lose, and it may be less than 6.

 

Cup coming back to Canada!!

This will be a tight series, looking forward to this one more than the Eastern conf. final.

Don't doubt Vegas they have been playing fantastic all season long and rising to every challenge.. but so have the Jets

I believe the Jets will take this one in 6 a very hard fought close 6 games

I wonder if the officiating will be the same against vegas as it was in the Preds series or will it be more don't touch the yellow nites?

 

The yellow nites are a product of officiating They've been getting the calls their way all season and so far in the Playoffs. All their players can play their system with confidence because they know exactly what they can get away with.

 

Canucks players have said that they aren't sure what is allowed from game to game. I've heard announcers in Canucks games say "If you take your hand off of your stick and grab a player you will get called every time."  Vegas got away with that all season long and the refs have allowed that in all the series so far. I've heard announcers in Canucks games say " If you get your stick on a players hands, you'll get called every time." Vegas has gotten away with that all season as well.

I've seen players in these Playoffs getting a hooking penalty by tapping a player on the hip with only one hand on their stick. That didn't affect the play in any way yet it was called. Meanwhile vegas players hook players on the arm whenever they get past them and never get called. They wait until the opponent ahead of them stick-handles and then quickly hook their arms. This results in takeaways and affect the game yet they never get called for it. The officiating has supported their speed game all season and so far in the Playoffs..  "Let him go. Let him go."  Don't touch the yellow nites.

 

Since vegas is the betting hub it should come as no surprise I guess.

VGK in 6. The house always wins.

[Coconuts]

Jets in six

 

Anyone but Vegas

 

[oldnews]

will be interesting to see how transparent the league's 'endorsement' of Vegas is in this series.

 

My 'bet' would be that the Jets will need to be prepared to overcome the game-managing once again.

[Master 112]

It'll be a slap in the face if Vegas wins the cup.

[Toni Zamboni]

should be a great series....cheering for Jets....but Vegas is the second choice for cup for me, both are great stories.
