Anyone else liking the Jets to beat the Knights on the way to the Cup?

[Ricboff]

big one tonight. Vegas was the better team the last two games, esp Game 2. Game 3 saw Hellebuyck allow an inexcusable second goal, ouch. Fleury was steady, and in the 3rd exceptional.

expecting desperation play by the Jets tonight. Vegas transitions so well- Jets , for heavens sake, stick to the simple play esp when you're gassed; see Kyle Connor on the Knights 3rd goal, geesus.

3 games in and i can confidently say the Jets cannot physically wear these Knights down-- not going to happen


how about Vegas' top line? super fun to watch .....esp when they go agsint the Jets top line. Crazy speed out there. I've said it before , i'll say it again-- HOW did Florida not protect Marchessault? he scored 30 goals last yr and a crafty play-maker-- these types aint a dime a dozen. Mind boggling ....

in Game 3 after the Jets equalized, Hellebuyck promptly was a sleep at the wheel and the Knights scored shortly after. Boom- deflated Jets team

he has done it AGAIN in Game 4. ........@)

 

[Ricboff]

great game. Reilly's full speed snip was awesome. Like Game 3, Jets take over in the 3rd but not enough

offensively for the Knights its been all about the top line. Marchessault has been in on 7 of their 11 goals this series, geesus. Yet Maurice has no intention of matching. McNabb/Schimdt hit the ice when Scheifele is on, whenever possible. Wonder if Maurice has regrets?...........Scheifele is a star, what a fuckin' player

these two games were decided by a goal-- cue Mr Hellebuyck's two critical fuck ups

off to game 5.............should be another cracker!

Man, Jets need a 3 game sweep... going to be tough, but, dont think they have anything left in the tank to take it to a game 7.

Lightning vs Knights = Knights win the Cup!

Lightning will beat the Knights.

I've talked to several people who have been to Knights home games this year and everyone says that arena is electric. Could turn into one of the best home ice advantages in the NHL

They keep talking on TV how the Knights were 500-1 to win the Cup before the season started. I wonder how many professional hockey handicappers thought there was value in that as a future bet. I'm not talking about people who bet on them after they got on their hot streak when the season started. Even though the team was stocked by better than average players the odds of an expansion team winning a title in it's first year in any sport must be longer than 500-1. Your taking a team where none of the players have played together as a group. NFL teams flip over their roster but there is usually a small core of players that have been there the previous years. Even if the team plays exceptional during the season the playoffs are entirely different. You see NHL teams with the highest and second highest points for year get knocked out in the first round all time. Your team has to experience the playoffs together to build for a run in future seasons. It's like that in the NBA. You have to fail at first to win the title. Obviously you can assemble a super team like the Heat did with Lebron but what did they do their first season together. Lose in the finals to the Mavericks.

congrats to The Knights

Knights in 5? wow.....they played the 3rd as they have nearly all year when leading-- look to add to the lead.

The back 6 was awesome yesterday. Theodore had a great game

Jets hadn't lost 4 in a row all year

 

[thekeyman]

Lightning will beat the Knights.

So far everybody has said the Knights will lose against this team,then it was said again,and again,and all they do is win,can't people give them the credit they deserve,lets face it,they are a good team so accept it already

 

[he_dblhockeystx]

I was going to say Vegas has absolutely 0 Chance of beating Winnipeg, but I didn’t . That’s what I thought tho
