Really good game tonight.  Somehow Florida squeezed a win out of that game despite all the power plays they gave Vegas.  At least we have a series again.

Mostly watched the Braves huge come back win against the Mets winning on a walkoff home run on the 10th. But did tune in on the Vegas-Panthers game and saw the OT winner. If Panthers take game 4 at home sheetz gonna be on!

I would like to see the  Panthers take game 4 at home to keep it going.

The third period of game 3 was as good a hockey period as I've seen in some time. Despite the 23 penalties called during the first 2 periods, the third period looked completely different. Although Vegas thoroughly outplayed Florida (although, you'd never know if listened to the TNT idiots), Florida found a way.

I just wanted Florida to represent the Eastern Conference well, so far they haven’t and could go down in 5 games. I actually believe the Canes would have done better against a Vegas matchup.

Maybe but to me Vegas seems like a much better version of the kind of hockey Florida plays.  They are both physical and forecheck aggressively but Vegas is just better at it.  That particular style seemed to give the Canes trouble.

It’s unreal how good Vegas is at blocking shots and protecting the net.  If a shot isn’t blocked, they’re bumping guys off the puck as they shoot or getting a stick in there.  They are also pretty skilled offensively and have a good power play.

I really thought the road was paved for us to make it to the finals this year but watching this series I don’t know if we would fare much better than Florida.  Maybe next year will be the one for our guys.

I know they beat you ... and he beat you ... but I don't see how anyone can dislike that tkakakakchuck or whatever his name is. Dude is a baller and straight hockey bad ass. That scrum at the end was wild.

Yep. He's now earned the second highest PIM total in NHL finals history. Another 14 minutes of penalties, almost equal to the amount of ice time he had (16:40).

Fug him. He's a cheap shot player right there with Gudas and Bennett. Fugging Bennett grabbed goalie Adin Hill in a headlock from behind when the horn sounded last night after hill stoned him in front of the net. Tkachuk was hitting guys in the backs of their legs after the final horn last night. In hockey, you wanna fight someone, drop the gloves and fight.

I just hope someone on Vegas blasts Bennett into oblivion before this series ends

      No it's not, there isn't a single coach who's only job is to win games, because no coach is going to win games unless they're also improving the quality of play out of their players. For coaches with contending teams, winning is their #1 job, but I think it's a more than reasonable take to say that coaches of not yet contending teams winning comes second to making your players better. We have 11 games left, if you gave me the option of winning all 11 of the games in terribly ugly fashion to where we don't improve the quality of our players vs we lose all 11 games, but do so in spectacular fashion where our players show significant improvement, I'm taking option B every time. Because option B is the path to future and long term success, while option A is a path to short term happiness at the expense of long term franchise stability.   And yes, that is clearly an extreme example that could never actually play out in either way, but you still know what I mean.  And no, it has nothing to do with draft position, it's about how good will these players be a year, 2 years, 3 years, etc, down the line, when you hope to be a true contending team, because nobody actually thinks we're that type of team this year unless you're literally crazy

      Yeah if that's what we're signing up for here, then I just can't get behind it.  That contract extension that Hurney gave Jake that offseason was BRUTAL.

      That's quite literally his only job. Every year has new goals, new identities, etc. But the one constant is to win at all costs. He isn't guaranteed to be here next year UNLESS he wins. Why would he give a poo to mold a bunch of players someone else might be coaching?
