WCF: (1) Vegas Golden Knights vs. (3) Dallas Stars | Stars win series 4-1

[Monty]

Philly, Isles, or Vegas would be great to win the Cup. Dallas and Tampa have at least each won it once in the last 21 years. Good for a new city to win.

[PhillipBlunt]

Go Stars. Kill these scumbags. 

[Coconuts]

Vegas in seven

 

Hoping Dallas can pull it out though, &^@# Vegas

[aGENT]

This will be a meat grinder of a series. Everyone's been writing Dallas off all playoffs, so I'll take them in 7 but there's no clear call here IMO.

I voted Vegas in 6... but I won't be surprised if Dallas wins this series.

 

They have 2 PMDs that can evade Vegas forecheck. And once you get past those aggressive forecheckers, they got forwards that have all of a sudden found a way to put the puck in the net in all sorts of ways (snipe, crash the net, tip ins, rebounds, etc).

 

Ultimately, I see Khudobin as a weakness for Dallas and if they lose, it will be because of goaltending.

Stars in 7.

Let's go Dallas.  These bags of wind aren't that tough if you get them on their heels....

This is surprising, but I think it has to do more with giving Lehner some rest after the condensed schedule against the Canucks.

yeah poor Hughes didn't have much of a chance at times, but with two it will be interesting to see what Dallas can do there.

Maybe they just fear Kelly Sutherland as much as we do and have already penciled in the L for this one

I was really wishing we would have seen Fleury in game 7. I still can’t believe how close we were. It stings.

I could watch this game legally but I'm going to stream it from an illegal site to own the Libs NHL. 

 

I don't think NBA teams have played a single back-to-back game. Screw the NHL, NBC, and Kentucky Derby.

[JeremyCuddles]

Lets go Dallas. Heiskanen is my fav player in the series, so that's the team I'll cheer for. Lol. 

[Jaimito]

Stars in 6.

Vegas seems like they're still playing against us, and got surprised by Dallas' speed and forechecking which are even better than their own.

 

I'm not much of the Stars fan but Heiskanen is a real deal, and a front runner for Conn Smyth.

 

Go stars, &^@# Vegas!

 

EDIT:

I wish we could rent the Stars Demko, although Khudobin is doing pretty well himself.

Agreed. The same thing happened to the Canucks in Game 1 against the Golden Knights — they weren’t able to adapt to the new style of play.

Nux needed more of this

Dallas has just been burying Vegas players in pressure. 
 

Green: take notes, passive D has its place but the best way to keep them from scoring is just to take away their time and space
