Vegas fans are not that cocky. We need you guys to be more cocky. I need more people saying knights in 4. Come on we know you are all thinking it just say it lol
I don’t think so. From a Habs fan point of view Vegas fans are one of the nicer fans in the league because their team is competitive and new to the league. There hasn’t been even time to create rivalries.
Ok, Vegas wins in 5.lol I know but I need some hate and overconfidence like the first two rounds. Come on vegas fans your the best tell me how your gonna destroy us!!
I rematched all the goals from last series. Grubauer didnt play very well. Colorado didn’t really have a shut down pair. Goals against the Habs will be tougher to come by because Carey Price is a top 5 goalie in the world and the top 4 are big horses.
Matthews Marner Ehlers Wheeler all these guys were shut down. Also Philip Danault is one of the best shutdown center in the league right now.
I think it will be a low scoring series.
Could be.
Vegas has had abrupt playoff scoring issues in the past and Montreal is a good team who played Vegas tough in the past though we haven't played in a year and a half or with these rosters and don't have any recent common opponents to compare.
Montreal has better goaltending but Minny has better D(top 4 are all #1-2 D). Knowing they'll most likely lose one to Seattle makes me relieved because that D core is nutsMinnesota resembles Montreal a bit. Montreal has way better goaltending. Shots from the perimeter won’t get pass playoff Price. He’s got the ability to steal the series. Price will be team Canada starting goalie for sure. Also the top 4 defensemen are playing lights out shutdown. Basically playing like #2-3 defensemen eating up 26+ minutes per game. Habs also have 14-15 forwards who can play on any of their top 4 lines a lot of depth. Biggest weakness is the bottom pairing defensemen 5-6-7 due to lack of experience and just average.
The Danault Gallagher Lehkonen Evans can shut down the top players with Mcdavid Draisatl in regular season and Matthews Marner pair in playoffs. 1 goal between Matthews and Marner in 7 games that’s crazy to think. They also made Ehlers Dubois Wheeler a no show last series.
The Habs don't have a Spurgeon, Brodin or Kaprizov. Weber is better than Suter right now, and Petry is a slightly better/bigger Dumba. Aside from Cole, the Wild defense are much less physical.
JEE was playing on the same level as Danault.
Price>>Talbot though and while both teams have similar depth on wing, Montreal has much better depth at C.

And yet a center is comfortably leading Vegas in scoring these POs.Seems like fans of every opponent look at our roster and think they match up well largely because of our centers. Minnesota fans said that too (not because their centers are impressive but because they had strengths in other areas and a major weakness for them didn’t look as bad).
It is true though that we’re not the prettiest team on paper. I read comments from Colorado fans saying they looked at our roster and were baffled that we were doing so well. And it wasn’t hater comments. They gave our team credit for having an insane work ethic.
