I can't stand when the announcers say "the VGK" instead of Vegas or the Golden Knights.

It's almost as bad as someone calling their wife "the rib ".

Yeah, after that epic snow collapse from Colorado last night, I'm good with either Carolina or Montreal.

Rod Brind'Amour seems like a great coach to play for and Logan Stankoven is really being utilized to maximize his skillsets.
The Habs look really complete this year and it would be nice to see a Canadien team win a cup after their 33 year drought. Nick Suzuki & Co. are not flashy but they have grit.

I think this series comes down to clutch netminding, clamping down early, and not allowing a flurry of goals in the 1st period. The Habs can't afford to get into a skate sprint with Carolina. They have to dictate possession and win along the boards.
- "Frederick Andersen has a 1.55 GAA and .927 SV% across the postseason, while Canadiens rookie Jakub Dobes is holding a 2.51 GAA and .910 SV%"

No Regretzsky's tonight!!!
