I noticed during the season that Vegas was allowed to get away with interference all game long. Seems like they the tradition continues during the seasons. Is this the NHL way to hype up Vegas and their fans. Seems to allow the Knight have an advantage....and from I have seen, it happens frequently.
Am I wrong?


looks like confirmation bias to me. do you have anything to back that up?

No, I have dog in the fight. Just my observations watching Vegas games.

Did you actually watch that series? MAF stole three wins for them


Sorry Rangersfan, but Krakowitz is right. Fleury was a beast in that series like he's been this entire postseason.

Really, if my team was about to probably face Vegas and Fleury in the Finals, I'd be scary. It's been one of the best goalie performances in playoffs in at least the last 10 years. Probably as good as Quick's performance in one of the Kings Cup, when he had almost .950 save percentage and less than 2.00 goals against per game. Fleury has been the China Wall for Vegas. Last night he did it again!!!

And the goalie is part of the team. Seriously, if the team expected to win a series loses, people will often say they played better just because they THOUGHT they were going to.

You're right about Pens injuries. They hurt us badly. But I won't say that's the only reason we lost to Washington. Who knows what would happen. I'm sure about one thing. Our team had a huge lack of depth this season. Our bottom 6 didn't help us at all and no team can win the Cup w/o depth, cause injuries happens all the time with any team. Last 2 seasons we had a lot. Unfortunately our salary cap wasn't enough to keep most of our UFA's.


I never said that was the only reason.

Goalie interference? Because Winnipeg's goal counted in game 1, and Vegas's OT winner in game 2 against SJS didn't count. They haven't got those calls their way in these playoffs.

No just regular interference, it's the non calls that I think Vegas has been allowed to get away with...from what I have noticed all season long.

Brexit, Cubs winning the World Series, Donald Trump winning the election, Eagles winning the Super Bowl, Caps making it past the second round, and now Vegas winning the cup! Wow, how predictable is the world now?

The Jets just weren't very good since game 1. And, of course, like they've been all year long, the Golden Knights were really good. If Vegas wins the cup, i can almost guarantee you that Fleury wins the Conn Smythe.

Fleury, Vasilevkiy, and Kuznetsov I think all deserve it if their teams win.

Nobody had them making the post season. Also I'm pretty sure you were one of the most vocal in saying they would drop off. :-)

If he plays as well in the final as he has I would say he wins it even of they lose. Especially if it is against Tampa. They've won by committee so far

Definitely Fleury, maybe Kucherov for Tampa, and for WSH i'd go with Ovi.

If he plays as well as he has and they still lose its easy to see him winning it. JS Giguere in 03. Because he's such a clear cut choice for Vegas.
