Not entirely sure about that.

I was at TD Garden and watched the Bruins beat the Lightning a few weeks back. Lightning really struggled and now Nash is fit again, I think they’ve got a chance.

Vegas may just win this Stanley in their first year. I wonder what the bookies are giving for a Golden Knights Cup win.

 

[Jack Daniels]

Let's hope they don't.

On Friday night two goals in the first and two goals in the second gave the Caps a 4-0 lead, Lightning could only muster 2 in the third at home to lose the first in the series.

Then last night a spell of three goals in the first 7 minutes 35 of the game gave the Jets an advantage they didn’t lose and so also lead

Tampa led 2-1 at the start of the second period but 5 goals without reply saw the Caps ease to their second road win of the current series. With 2 home games to come it could all be over by Friday morning.

Golden knights superb tonight.

 

[mlg57]

Yes two goals up after the first, no goals in the second, the Jets get a goal back in the third but 90 seconds later its 3-1 and the Knights even the series.

A goal in the first and two early goals in the second shook the Caps and they never recovered. Lightning now have to do it all again on Thursday to level the series.

Golden Kights somehow survive 3rd period onslaught, great game byFleury in goal.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Golden Knights/Vegas/ice hockey/Stanley Cup
which one doesn't belong?

 

[mlg57]

Yup 33 saves from Fleury as he helps the Knights to a 4-2 home win.

Well when the Caps went 2-0 up away from home, I said this could be over by Friday morning, instead however Lightning have responded with back to back 4-2 road wins to tie the series.

No stopping the Golden knights...

 

[mlg57]

The Knights win at home again to take a 3-1 series lead, they can progress to the final tonight if they win in Winnipeg.

In the East Tampa become the first team to win a home game in this final but even then it was close. They were 3-0 up before scrapping home 3-2. The Caps now need to repeat that feat to take it game 7.

Another stellar defensive performance sees the Golden Kights through to the Stanley Cup final. What a team. What a story. #VegasStrong

 

[RandyWanger]

Hopefully Tampa Bay or the Capitals take it.
