One strike against Vegas missing the playoffs next season is that the Pacific division is atrocious.

And yet, San Jose put up a better fight against Vegas than Winnipeg did.

Hell, you might even argue that the Kings did too. Yeah they got swept, but all the games were pretty competitive at least.

Yeah, the Jets/Knights series might have been the most disappointing of the postseason. After doing what they did to the Preds, who were many people's favourite going back all the way to the beginning of the season, they kind of just rolled over and died against Vegas.

Didn't feel like it was the same team we've been seeing the last few months.

Definitely, the biggest lay-down of the entire post-season, with the possible exception of Anaheim (although that series was pretty irrelevant)

Sure, San Jose and Los Angeles will be a game, but there's still the likes of Arizona and Vancouver that Vegas can bully to stack up points.

Once Vegas clamped down defensively in a game, all the Jets did was pathetically bounce off of them. They never did anything to make you believe they even had a serious chance of tying a game late.

I didn't even give the Jets much of a chance to even win game 5 after the way 2-4 went.

The Jets just looked exhausted after the Preds series. Spent their last gasp in game 1, and never seemed to pick it up again. And Fleury was great.

Their core is around for quite some time. Hellebuyck will need to be paid this offseason, Laine next offseason. I don't think they're going to fall off for quite some time. Hoping so at least.

I'm tempted to bet hard on Vegas in 6.

I'm confident they beat Tampa so long as Fleury doesn't regress a lot, but I also think Tampa is at least as good as San Jose, and should probably be able to take two.

The crazy thing is that Caps goal only worked because everything was PERFECTLY set up. Oshie was able to get that by Vassy only because he was pushing far side because Ovechkin was open at the other end as well and that's where he thought the puck was going.

Tampa is going to win this game. They'll get three decent chances and score on two of them. Caps will get like 20 more but Vassy stops them all.

The Capitals have clearly been the better team in this series.

I don't know.. I actually think they might pull this one off. A lot of bounces have actually gone their way this season.

They are clearly the better team in literally every series they lose.

As opposed to always having a bad time regardless?

Thanks, but I'll still enjoy this. I've seen the worst they have to offer and I'm still not much worse for wear.

They were not better than the Penguins in either of the past two years.

I also think they much are better off having game 7 on the road.

So hypothetically...if Vegas loses in a close, low scoring, 6-7 game series against Tampa Bay or Washington, do you think we see Fleury win the Conn Smythe?

If it's a tight series and he retains his overall good numbers then yes I would think so. A really good goalie who loses a close one is pretty much the only established way to win the Conn Smythe from the losing team.

Agreed. There aren't any obvious front-runners for Washington or Tampa either (although everyone in the media will almost certainly give it to Ovechkin no matter what if the Caps win)

Yeah that article made me think that it was definitely a possibility, especially with the comparisons to JSG. Though yeah, if Washington wins, I could see Ovechkin winning it regardless.

But Fleury mostly keeping Tampa in check while still losing? Yeah give it to Fleury.
