Vegas’s propensity to take penalties 200 feet from their goal may end up their undoing.

And it’s over. Adin Hill looks like MAF in his prime out there.
On the ropes but not over. Edmonton will probably get the next power play because NHL. They also looked really good with their keeper pulled in game 5 even though they did not score. So still a lot of hockey left.

I will be so pissed if Edmonton comes back. So much talent but they think they don’t need to work as hard or match the others guys’ intensity. It’s infuriating to watch. It’s not like they don’t know how to grind it out. They did it the whole first period.

How the fuck is that a normal follow through and not a high stick? Seems like a bad rule if that's technically correct.

Vegas goalkeeper situation has been nuts. If you swap keepers, the series is probably different. And Adin Hill is the difference. Fucked up.

Meanwhile, that makes 30 years without a Canadian team winning the cup. Just by random they should have 5 or 6. Pretty weird stat.

Edmonton really needs to find a goalie. Even top 15 goalie would be enough on this team.

Florida, Carolina, Vegas, Seattle, Dallas left - no hockey towns at all, and I think some bad ratings coming for TNT in the Final.

Can we find a way to get Linus over to them? I'm going to guess not given their cap situation.

Sure the could. They might have to retain a million or two, but they could make it work. Ullmark’s 16 team no trade list would probably be the bigger hurdle to getting a deal done.

Puck rolls down Grubauer's back and is sitting in the crease but the Kraken are on top of it.

Dallas has the early jump. But Kraken work hard.

Just a really good series that ends with a solid game. Really sound play by Dallas and they hold on. Conference finals could be pretty good.

Florida/Carolina/Dallas/Vegas. The Sun Belt Cup.
Not exactly hockey hotbeds, but by and large I feel as though these playoffs so far have rewarded hard working sound play. Vegas has crossed the line into dirty a couple of times but I think for the most part this could be a really good and compelling final four. I suppose some might call it boring. But I think these last three series could really be good.

Has anyone noticed what a fucked up name Connor McDavid is?

It’s like completely backwards. Like Smith McJohn. Martinez McPedro. Jones McMac. McDonald McRonald.
