Man, are you guys watching the Avs right now? I think this Vegas series might have the best two teams in the league.

Tampa Bay?

Tampa Bay?

I think they're the team to watch in the East for sure. But if the Avs stay healthy, I think it's theirs to lose.

Vegas takes a lead in the series! Hello @LVG ??!! Damn, these two teams are good. Pressure is on the Avs. Nice for the Habs to relax and watch them beat each other up.

Meanwhile TB finished up the second round and is just waiting for the winner from Bruins/Isles. Either way that goes, it should be another great series.

Playoffs are so good this year!

Playoffs have been very good this year. Hopefully VGK can seal the series tomorrow.

Man, have you guys been spoiled or what?

The differences between the genesis of the Knights and the Coyotes could not be more stark. I'm more than a little envious.

It's been insane. I heard the Fortress was up at 100% capacity and it was rocking. Wish I could have caught the game; life intervened.

We have been spoiled. All time, the Knights are 173-94 in the regular season (including two first place division finishes), 28-19 in the postseason, and have made the playoffs each year, including 2 conference championship appearances.

I’m a Habs fan so I’m excited about the OT win last night, but I’m also psyched for Vegas in general. I revere the Original Six as much as the next guy but I became a Suns fan when Phoenix had no other major pro sports and I know how special a city’s first team is, especially if it’s original to the city.

I don’t really have a handle on the Raiders adoption. @LVG? It took a while for the Cards to win over the Valley (much of that the Bidwills’ fault) and they didn’t have half the previous identity the Raiders do.

I see some Raiders stuff, but it’s not a prevalent as VGK support. I imagine that is because most that moved here already had a NFL team. I think a fair amount of people have adopted the Raiders as their second team.

Man, I just can't tell if the Habs are that good or if the Knights are just too tired to keep up. They look like a completely different team than the one that played Colorado.

Another great game last night. I love me some hockey playoffs.

Ok, then.

Habs punch their ticket and will compete for Lord Stanley's Cup.

Vegas had their chances in the 3rd and OT, but they couldn't finish. Nobody had the Habs getting out of the first round. Pretty amazing run for the team everyone counted out.

These are some very serious allegations. Probably not what the league was wanting to talk about as the Finals begin, but they need to spare no expense and get to the bottom of this ASAP.

An unnamed former Chicago Blackhawks player who was a member of the 2010 Stanley Cup-winning team has filed a lawsuit accusing the Blackhawks of ignoring allegations that he and an unidentified teammate were sexually assaulted by a Blackhawks coach.

The plaintiff, who is referred to as “John Doe” in court documents, alleges that former Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich was watching pornography and began to masturbate in front of him without his consent in May 2010.

Makes sense. I was envious of Panthers and Jags expansion during the days when the Bidwills were just continuing their same old routine and wished we’d gotten a fresh start.
