The western conference finals is the Las Vegas Knights Vs the Seattle Kraken!  Few years ago, I would have thought that was a west coast minor league series. Crazy!

Vegas vs Kraken or Dallas, TBD tomorrow.

Kraken in their second year, one of the 5 teams still in the playoffs. Vegas in the final 4 and in their very first season made it to the Stanley Cup final vs Caps in 2018. That is why I say the league rules on players expansion teams can take from other teams is a bit too generous.

Thought the exact same thing myself. Absolutely stupid scheduling. Are they trying to avoid NBA clash?

The Hockey guy said the NHL wanted a 8PM start time ESPN said no and put a baseball game on instead. Then ESPN bumped it to ESPN2 because said baseball game wasn’t done.

Yep. First of all should never have been a 10pm game. Then the baseball game in the ninth with the score 9-1 was a blowout and if you’re going to bump something to ESPN2 it shoulda been that game, not a second round hockey playoff game fuggin scheduled for ESPN. ESPN sucks, disrespecting hockey.

Man I hope Vegas doesn't make the finals. If we beat FL, that would be probably the worst possible matchup of all of the playoff teams there were.

i would generally agree, but Vegas has had tons of goalie injuries/problems. They are not the team we struggled with this year even though they are playing well.  They are on their 5th goaltender now and are not playing the sort of opponents that can properly exploit it while the same time they keep them in check defensively.  I think we could--though I would still rather play Seattle, then Dallas

    • Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?
    • Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade. 
    • Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
