For some reason I find it very hard to want Vegas to win. I even grew up 20 minutes from Summerside so Turk is kinda a local hero. Cool story but I don't think the Vegas fans have earn it, even if the players have. Maybe I am just a bitter leafs fan from my childhood or the rye is talking. God, I love playoff time, it is wonderful distraction from the everyday grind! But I am Canadian first....so....
Go Jets Go.

PK spent more time diving on the ice tonight than a harp seal. Winnipeg brought the club. Good show.

Lol nice, it's to bad they couldn't have played like that in game 6 Winnipeg would've exploded. (The city)

I'd have to check the stats, but off the top of my head I believe that there are more Canadians on the Vegas roster.

I’m so stuck now.
I was rooting for both the Jet’s, and Golden Knights.
I guess being as Winnipeg is Canadian I’m gonna have to get totally behind them now.
And I guess that the Great 8 might actually make it to the final would be a nice touch too, but he plays in the East, which truly sucks.

Right now, as long as Tampa doesn't win... I'm cool with it.

That was a loooong review. Frankly, I still can't say if it was a good goal or not (review says good), it was so close. I would have expected the call on the ice of 'no goal' to stand. Vegas got one back though....3-1

Jets!! Got it done, very convincing win! Great hockey both ways. Buff gets the nod for domination.

Looked like the Vegas defenceman nudged him into Fleury.

If the "Buff" is playing the team has success but he dissappers or doesn't show up some games and the team seems lifeless....

My almost 4-year old was cheering for Vegas yesterday because I was cheering for the Jets. Today she is cheering for Tampa. Lol.
Edit: she said “I hope my team wins today”. Lol again.

My 4 year old is cheering for Vegas as well, I believe it's because he likes the name/logo.

Could be, because when she asked what the teams were and I said Las Vegas Knights, she said “What is it, daddy?”
Mostly I think she is just rooting against my team though
After Kuznetsov scored today she said “You won, daddy”. Lol.
Caps up 2! Excellent.

I did not see that coming. Not good for my pool, only two games in though.
Wonder if there will be a goalie change for game three.

Sounds like you made bad picks for your pool, according to this thread I agree, I did not see quite a few things coming this playoffs. I would probably be not far ahead if I was part of a pool
I think there might be a goalie change in game three. Vassilevski (pardon the spelling if it is wrong) is their best goalie and has a great future, in my opinion, but he is a young kid and it’s a lot of pressure. He has had a great season and did quite alright in playoffs up to this point. Regardless, I don’t think Tamba Bay is coming back from two losses at home. Then again, it won’t be the first time the Caps blow a two-game lead if that happens. I thought these were the hardest series to predict this playoffs.

Ever since Ovi finally beat Crosby, he seems to be playing with way more confidence and enjoyment. That monkey must have been sooo heavy.

Wow, the Jets have been coughing the puck up all over their own zone and neutral, down 2-0 because of it....not good.

^ Yep. Only got to watch the second period and the very beginning of third and I was not impressed with heir game at all. Way too many giveaways. Hope they can put it back together for the next game.
