I think it ends tonight. Too many impact players on Vegas aren't contributing. Staal wins the CS.

I was obsessed with late night sports when I was a kid. I remember thinking how cool it was that games started at 11pm. My older sister's BF hooked up our cable illegally (iykyk) so I would sneak downstairs and watch Sabres, Rangers, Knicks west coast swings. The Kings and the Golden Seals seemed like they played in magical buildings in a magical land. CFTO was great for Blue Jays western swings too.

I think that extra gear Vegas had is gone. That's two straight they've been outplayed. Karlsson looks like he's done for the series. Aho ans Svetch are waking up finally. Doesn't look good for Vegas.

Could be Bussi tonight. This series has been so insane and they've only played 3 games. It is going to get even wilder as it goes on. Could be 7-6 tonight or 2-1. The periods of short-burst total dominance is something I've never seen before in a series let alone a SCF. It's anyone's guess what happens tonight.

Bishop at 80 is a few points low. 83 to me. Same with McGovern. He's an 85 and probably the most underrated C in the league.

I usually watch CBC even though it's in SD. I gave ESPN a chance for Game 1. While I like Sean and Ray, the production is terrible. It took them after the Carolina 4th goal and TV TO to reply the phantom icing that led to the face off in the Vegas zone, that led to the goal. I was back to CBC for Game 2.

Textbook give and go. Fantastic game.

I think this is a fascinating series. Two different organizational philosophies. Canes have been building towards this for 8 years. Vegas, in their usual cut throat aggressive manner felt they need a mindset change, and along comes Torts on 3/29. Canes forechecking is elite and forces mistakes. Montreal D had no clue how to deal with. That being said, the top 4 D for Vegas are very intelligent and have the experience to handle it. Two factors to me that will be the difference: Vegas PP, and the elite play of Eichel and Marner. Vegas in 6 fabulous games.

If I'm Jarmo, it's Benson and Byrum first, then see if Tuch will take a discount. Which he won't.

One of my favorite players ever. Absolutely $ in the playoffs. 4× Cup champ and a Conn Smyth winner. Clutch as they will ever come.

That was a clinic in aggressive defensive hockey. I'm stunned how Vegas continually took away the first pass out of the zone, forcing the Av's to make short passes that were immediately contested. Torts has 1-18 buying in. Hart has been solid too. 3 SCF appearances in 9 years. Wow.

The only ice Wes Macaulay should see is on the sidewalk.

Pro Bowlers Tour on ABC every Saturday.

No Makar again tonight. Yikes.

The pregame show, before the network show started, was a complete embarrassment. It sounded like bad college radio. I can't even recall the names but silly fantasy talk, and the most irrelevant topics. I often thought if the Bills management even listened and heard how bad it was. How could they associate their brand with the utter stupidity that was going out over the airwaves? Maybe that played a small factor because that was horrible.
