just a totally campy, fun atmosphere
should have taken the over. could be a fun series.
Pro tip: If you have CBC, go there for better commentating.
One of the hidden benefits about moving back to SE Michigan, is now getting CBC coverage for the playoffs
Hasn't played since their May 2 game against the Sharks though
Former Wolverine Kelly McCrimmon is their Assistant General Manager. McCrimmon was captain of the 1983-84 Michigan team, and has spent most of the intervening time as Head Coach & GM of the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL, and has been the franchise owner since 2000.
...so it's already more watchable than the last 2 years.
I have a strange feeling the unimaginable ride of the Golden Nights is taking them all the way.
...Washington didn't get these bounces against Pitt the last few years, I'd rather Ovi had the back to back cups.
Place your monies on GS and Washington.
You're welcome.
Yeah about that....
I love the sound of Doc Emrick calling the Stanley Cup Final on TV. Surprised at how high scoring the game is, looking forward to the rest of it.
Doc makes my ears bleed. He is obsessed with how clever he is. Just call the game and cut out all the non-descriptive verbs. He also gets super excited over nothing plays and will randomly ignore important or big plays.
...CAPITOLize on your good luck when in Vegas.
While I wish the refs hadn't missed the blatant calls, blind-siding a guy way after he plays the puck is a potential career ending play and does not compare to spearing.
And no I’m not a Caps fan, if you read the comments I very clearly said I don’t care who wins just want a good series.
Steph Curry is just going OFF right now. Holy fuck.
The lack of penalty there was a make up for the missed cross-check. But I'd rather have a power play for that makeup, and give Wilson the penalty.
like they hired Dave Brandon to run things.
Well, that sucks. Caps need to get that back!
A Vegas win in the SCF final would reduce the Stanley Cup to the level of a participation trophy and prove once and for all that pro sports are fixed, scripted garbage on the level of sports entertainment like WWE.
That's carrying it a bit far. It's not fixed, but I have no idea how an expansion club can get so good in year 1. Doesn't make any sense.
Some of it is luck too. Karlsson shot 23% this season, which is just insane and (most likely) isn't sustainable.
For reference, guys like Malkin, Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid, Kane have never had a season where they shot over 20%. Even Gretzky "only" had 6 seasons with a shooting % higher than 20%.
Four downvotes....shows the level of brainwashing the typical US American has achieved.
....who thinks the league orchestrated Vegas in the Finals.
Why? So that people question the competitiveness of their sport?
Why? So that fans of teams like Washington and Tampa lose interest in hockey?
Golden Nights were going to be a strong franchise financially for the next 5 years even if they never made it to the playoffs, which gives the league zero incentive to help them succeed in the first year.
Your take is lame and wrong.
