Welp—I guess we’re all Carolina fans now

Or non-hockey fans for a few months.

Now your talking.
Gal darn vegas!

 

[aragorn]

Looking forward the series myself. I like both teams.

 

[ICE24]

Carolina vs Vegas will be an epic series.

 

[NothingBut5Hole]

It's going to be interesting to see if the extra time off hurts VGK as much as it hurt Colorado.

I hope Carolina's goalie is up to the task and if all else fails, just run the goalies and play 6 on 6 open net!

 

[Dr. Tran]

Go Canes. F^¢< Vegas.

 

[Ice Rhino]

I'd just like a good series. Honestly that's all I ever want once the Kings are eliminated; I generally don't have a huge preference for who wins. The only current exception is Edmonton, who can flame out and burn for all I care.

I'd prefer the Canes, but only because I dislike the Vegas mentality of winning over ethics.

 

[VCRW]

Really looking forward to this matchup. Go Canes Go!!!

 

[kingnut]

Yeah, hope the canes take it

So far it’s looking like Mitch wasn’t actually part of the problem in TO. It’s been amusing to watch Leafs fans slowly come round to that realization, but ultimately, with him taking up residence on a local rival, it turns out the joke's really on us. It’s basically ‘Jack Eichel: part 2’.

I've always felt the team with the strongest 4th line wins the Cup.
Which 4th is better V or C?

Welp and Eeek!

Mitch and Matthews both seem to constantly get, or got, the blame from TO fans but both have proven, elsewhere, that they are not the problem. Toronto's problem has been their glass cannon approach which falls apart in the playoffs.

There were a few of us on here strongly advocating that the Kings should do everything they can to pick up Mitch, back before Vegas signed him. Doubt the Kings ever actually had a shot, but what a difference he would have made on our team.

Win it for Peter Harrold!

I won't lose sleep if Vegas wins, but I would like to see Carolina win, as they've really been knocking on the door for a while now and have built a great team.

 

[orpheus]

If Vegas wins.

 

[sonnyboy11]

100% onboard with Carolina here. They are my adopted east coast team. All my family from North Carolina and I go back there often. Won't make it to a SC game but I want to see them hoist it.

 

[DryKing]

I'm going for Vegas - I think if Marner wins a Cup his first year away from Toronto that puts more pressure on Edmonton and Toronto to try to keep McDavid and Matthews. Perhaps it will be the tipping point.

 

[ICE24]

Both these teams are on a roll, it should be a great series.

Just because so many people are so salty about so many VGK subjects, I'm all for them winning. VGK management is a masterclass on how to run a team. Sometimes the bad guys have to win because good is stupid.
