Yeesh. Don't think anyone would have said it would be 6-1 Vegas end of the second.
Im not blaming bob entirely but he's been dreadful in the series with goals going under and through. Plus he's downright awful up high. Does bob play low too much? He's incredibly athletic and makes crazy saves but I'm not sure the consistency is there.
Then again, I'm fat and old and get winded walking up the stairs...
I'm thinking Vegas gets er done tonight. I think they're the better team, have WAY more composure and are less banged up.
Cats emptied the tank getting here and it doesn't look like they have anything left. Pretty much literally.
Hopefully we have an entertaining game and a remarkable story for a modern era expansion team who's had tremendous success.
(As a leafs fan it kinda makes me sick to see how far we STILL are from this level of compete....)

Cats really need tkachuk to stop being sideshow bob, play some damn hockey, help his team.
His "tough guy" 2 year old act is so done.
Now where did I leave my glasses.....
Wow! Fla vs Vegas for the Cup. Whoddathunkit?
When the playoffs started I was half serious when I said to my brother, "what's the point of even playing the games? Just give the Cup to Boston". Man I love when I'm wrong. (happens often)
My own beloved Anrmadilla. Custom paint and fit signed by Don. Went to his shop in Cambridge a couple of times. Guy is an engineering genius who was way ahead of the curve. For those who don't know, he got out of hockey and brought many of his brilliant ideas to Nascar.
To this day he's the only manufacturer I know who put a rubber u-channel around the mask edge. I have put this on all my masks since then.
*Note the cozy flannel lining in the custom mask bags he also made. Guy was a perfectionist.
