I wonder if it's more beneficial for the Panthers to rest up or Vegas to start next round with momentum, while Panthers had time to cool off.

Yeah that's interesting, we've seen it go both ways in the past

Florida just seems unstoppable no matter what happens though

I hung up the skates at 38.. guess Pavelski is better than me after all BrokeBack

Pavelski's always been a great gritty clutch player imo. Sadly sharks were trending in a different direction and had many key prospects to sign, so he hit free agency.

thorton, burns, coutour, timo miere etc Sharks couldn't offer what Little Joe could get out there.

and head injuries...

he got paid anyway by Dallas that summer

game's been over for 4 hours+ and there are still 44 guests

The Official 2022/2023 Canucks & NHL Thread
 

Pavelski’s OT winner gives him 73 playoff goals in his career.

He holds the record for most playoff goals for among active NHL players.

Clutch Joe.

That’s the shot of a vet knowing he has to bury it, far side top corner, great goal

-quite an achievement for Pavelski to score more career playoff goals (73) than Crosby or Ovi.

A bit underrated as a player compared to those superstars in my opinion when it comes to the playoffs.


-cheering on Dallas to beat Vegas. -hope that Pavelski wins a Cup before his retirement.

A huge mountain to climb for the Stars to beat Vegas though when they trail 3-1 in this series.

Well so many of those goals probably happened during the extended playoff appearances of the sharks that never amounted to anything so it’s kind of moot to some degree

Crosby's more of a playmaker and Ovechkin has played a lot fewer playoff games. It's still quite an achievement for Pavelski. But considering pt/game, I don't think he's underrated if he's not compared with the other two...

If Dallas actually pulls off a reverse sweep, I can see them winning the cup. They'll be coming in with full momentum vs a relatively cooled off Florida team.

The only reason Panthers are in the final is that Bob is playing completely out of his mind. Like... even with Tkachuk's GWG accomplishments it's hard not to give Bob the Conn Smythe if they win it all. So many of his saves have had unreal anticipation and reaction times.

I thought the dude was a total bum and gonna be out of the league after his current contract expires, but what a playoffs he is having this year... Vigneault might even say he's playing like a man possessed.

They would be the first team in NHL History to do so. Literally no team leading 3-0 in a conference final has ever lost the series. 46-0!

I did find myself cheering for Dallas last night though. We'll see how much further they can push Vegas.

lol @ the fans having a chant battle using lyrics from "STARS"-Spangled Banner... Gave proof through the KNIGHTS~!

I wonder if any dumb Canadian truckers screamed Land of the "FREE!" at the end?

This has been one of the best games of the playoffs and that's saying a lot

I hope if Dallas completes the comeback this will be the last we hear from this commentating crew, with their weird "Tyler Seh-gay" pronunciation

DALLAS IS STILL ALIVE!!!

REVERSE SWEEP INCOMING???

^ too soon to say son. series is only at 3-2 ... NBA Celtics vs. Heats says, 'Watch this.'

Benn is back next game. Hopefully it fires up the team and he actually helps instead of cost the team this time.

Haven't really been interested in the playoffs but with the potential of seeing some drama like a reverse sweep... now this is interesting.

there's also the possibility of them losing the game and people thinking maybe they're better off without him/stripping him of the captaincy :lol

I guess we'll find out!

Dallas playing incredibly sloppy in their zone... They need to chill out somehow

OK this will probably be a total meltdown.. GG Vegas. Too bad it's on the road, I like a good laffer series win at home.

Edit: Dallas booing them off the ice after the first period.. So if there was any shot at a comeback, forget it lol

Dallas losing every game Benn has played

Kappa

He's the one who had an awful giveaway that eventually led to the first goal

Benn SUCKS.. Dude should Bertuzzi someone again and get himself kicked out of the game so they have a chance to at least end the shutout

legitimately forgot about the game today only to find out it's currently 5-0 Vegas :lol

YEESH, guess my prediction was right
