Series Thread: Stanley Cup Finals: Washington Capitals vs. Las Vegas Golden Knights

Observation: The more I watch David Perron play in this series the more I am glad he is NOT on my team.

Talented but lazy.

Congrats Cap fans on the win.

That was a well played game by the Caps, without Holtby's oops, almost a perfect way to play Vegas.

 

[Duke of Douchington]

Talented but lazy.

It's his morale. It's been the same since juniors. He and Jonny Mandela were two of the most unique personalities I've interacted with. Cocky, but mentally fragile...

He was with the Pens very long if I remember properly. Not very good with the puck.

Not sure if serious...

He was only with the pens two years and his hands are ridiculous. His favorite player was Kovalev and he'd literally spend hours a day watching videos of him and emulating his dangles...

I will bet that James Neal still had Malkin feeding him the puck on faceoffs!

 

[elocomotive]

Booooyah!

Clown stomped 'em tonight.

Big Tom Wilson dishing out hits (sorry haters, but he's your fucking daddy). Total commitment to the defense. All around spectacular effort and performance by the Caps. Ovechkin leading the way tonight in all aspects.

I loved that Vegas' expression after scoring that goal was "...sure we got one, but we're gonna lose."

Who else thought the game and the entire series was over when Holtby mishandled the puck?

The Caps got some breaks too but Vegas got away with Acton of hooks and obstruction in the 2nd half of the game

I guess the Wheel of Fortune favored the Caps tonight.

I thought the series was over when Holtby made the save Wednesday

Good times last night. They really dominated the entire night. 10 goals in 3 games against MAV? Few saw that coming.

 

[BGDave]

Washington has generally played disciplined D and Vegas has not been able to get through. G4 feels like a must win, if Caps win it, start planning the parade down Pennsylvania Ave.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Sure feels that way. It's nice to have a head coach who is making game to game adjustments, that was not always the case around here.

 

[averagejoe]

I don't have a dog in this fight.
Like both teams.
The Caps are sloppy starting rushes out of their zone. Passes are not on the tape and seem to result in a neutral zone turnover or an icing.
That said, they are dominating Vegas in the neutral zone.
WSH can't afford to be sloppy because VGK are opportunistic and can turn an innocent looking play into a scoring chance.
Real good series to watch.
But vicious cross checks and the McSorely-type stick work by both teams are out of control.

Ritari said he was going to the game.

That was in Vegas, I saw that after game 2.

Last night was an incredible experience! I don't have much of a voice this morning. The building was so loud I really couldn't hear any music or announcements.

A Crab was thrown on the ice, a man climbed a light pole, Kuzy pulled an Adam Banks. Last night had it all!

So the question is, do the Caps avoid taking the dreaded 3-1 series lead?
