LV vs Oilers is the 2023 Stanley Cup IMO. The two best squaring off. I think as of right now LV has the edge. And yeah PP's are everything along with who has the hottest Goalie/s

People just keep looking past Florida. Boston fans gained an entire army of new friends the other day from Toronto, all of whom made this mistake, too.

The Curse continues! I told y'all so...

Once again, a strong middle frame was the difference. Yes, the goal outburst was essential, but killing off that Oiler PP was HUGE, and must've pumped the Knights up a lot. Which led to padding that lead going into the 2nd intermission.

Time to come back stateside and get some rest, let those bumps and bruises heal. Squid vs. North Stars should be a fun one.

Viva Las Vegas shuts down the Oilheads, congrats to them. They might as well hand the Cup over to the Knights now.... :)

The Panthers knocked off the best team (statistically) the league has ever seen in the first round and the Canes put up 24 goals in five games in the second round.

I wouldn’t be handing the cup over with two rounds left to play; way too many wild cards involved.

Oilers goaltending was not good enough, nor was their D. Will the best player in hockey (McDavid) ever hoist the Cup? I think they'll be some big changes in Edmonton, maybe even say goodbye to their coach (who resembles Beaver Cleaver).

An ESPN "expert" criticized Coach "Beaver" Woodcrofts decision to start Skinner. He said it was a huge mistake and reason for the loss. Goaltending has been a problem for all the teams this year. I thought Grubauer was the hot Goalie in this years playoffs but that proved to be wrong.

Personally, I am not a fan of LV at all and would love to see any team beat them. But my money is on Vegas. I'd still like to see Kracken vs Panthers though.

Another big game tonight, sure hoping Krackers can win.
