Not gonna lie, I believe the Canes will have crank it up another notch to beat Vegas, on defense and on goals. Vegas lost 4 games in the playoffs so they can be beaten, Colorado missing key players but that’s what Canes have, a whole team of goal scoring threats and the defense just has to stop a few key players on Vegas side.

Been seeing the same old argument from Vegas fans and fans that just want us to lose that we STILL haven’t played anyone. 
Honestly I am surprised that they haven’t been harping on the fact both time we played Vegas during the season we got blown out. 
Maybe they finally realize season record doesn’t matter. 

Hilarious coming from them because they played the Mammoth and Ducks in the first two rounds and then got a less than 50% Makar and McKinnon in the Western conference finals...

And the Mammoth and Ducks arguably looked like the better team in that series, outside of game 6

The canes are playing Florida hockey better than Florida did right now.  They will kick Vegas’s ass.

I hope so but Vegas’ offensive firepower worries me.
