Vegas adapted to their opponents. Let's not forget they were the 4th best team in the league behind Boston, Carolina and NJ. But nobody, including me, paid much attention because they're out west, where games don't start until 10PM EST.

Anyway, as I said, Vegas adapted. Florida thought they could come out and punch them in the mouth and get away with it. Ask Matthew Tkachuk, Gudas, Bennett and Paul Maurice how that worked out for them. Vegas played just as heavy when they needed to and managed to stay out of the box and keep their focus on the goal. Meanwhile, Cheap-shot Tkachuk was racking up more PIM than ice time, and Florida forgot about the end-game and thought they could win by playing physical. When it came time for Florida to actually play some skill hockey, it was too late, and they didn't have the horses, skill set or determination of the 2022-2023 Stanley Cup Champs.

Congrats to Vegas.

It’s like James Hetfield says….”do you want heavy???” The canes will get heavy in the off-season.
