Also, just from looking through some of the stats for the series, Caps have only scored 3 times on power plays if my info is correct. Through 5 games now. Tampa has scored 6 times on power plays. Bolts are making the most of their opportunities.
if you told me last summer that the golden knights and the lightning would both be one game away from the finals after beating caps and jets. I would have never believed that tbh.
An ECF appearance buys him another year or two in DC. Had they lost to the Pens, Ovi would already have packed his bags
Fun fact - i said that last summer as a joke haha. Figuring Vegas would suck and the Lightning, though elite, would get injured and make me sad
Tampa is officially one game up from where i thought they would finish. The homer in me thinks this is the best team out there. Realistically though, i just assumed the Pens would be on some dumb shit again
yeah for some reason I probably would've believed the lightning were cursed and stamkos got injured again before the playoffs. It's good they are healthy for once.
“Ryan Reaves scores goal to send Vegas to Cup Finals” is a potential headline that would have been straight mad to write in september
How long is this Vegas group together? Do they have free agents next season or are they mostly all locked up in contracts?
