Who is everyone picking.......I am going with the Reaves/ Wpg/Vegas connection.....Knights in six !
Caps in 7, would like to see Ovi win the cup
Vegas in 5, no one is beating Fleury this year, not even OV.
Knights in 6
I am hoping for the knights, but OV isn't Laine. OV will hit the net with that bullet 9 of 10 times. It will be close but I have to go with Washington.
I just got educated that Eakin of the knights is a winnipeger as well......he doesn't have any Bomber connections does he ?
Caps in 6 . I don?t care for ovechkin. But caps have goaltending and the caps coach , beating Pittsburgh and Tampa. They had a tougher road.

Actually his dad was/is a city cop named Butch.
I saw Cody for the first time at an AHL all star game here is winnipeg and was there as a guest for the skills competition as a AAA prospect. It was funny because he was the fastest skater and most accurate shooter out of any of the all stars that night.

Don't think so, but Ryan Reaves does

Eakins doesn?t see above
Sure it will be an unbelievable storied finish if Vegas wins ......... but I think the Caps win game 7 & Barry Trotz gets to bring the Cup home to Manitoba.
Refs in 4.
Waiting for a witty reporter to refer to this Final as the 2018 season Knight Cap...
I'm thinking the Knights, and Ovi never gets his cup... Vegas players don't realize that they can lose... they just keep finding ways to win, and Holtby looked awful human last night...
Neither goalie played well last night. The Knights just seem to find a way and that 4th line had a game.
I wonder if Wilson gets another suspension...

If he doesn't, this is going to be one heck of a violent series. Not sure what kind of coach Gallant is, whether he is an eye for an eye guy, or if he's willing to use Reaves as he is meant to be used, as a fighter, not a scorer... but if Wilson is out on the ice next game, he'd better have his head on a swivel...

League has already said Wilson will not have a hearing.

Should be interesting to see what happens when he's on the ice with Reaves tomorrow. ;D
Hoping Ovi finally wins his cup but it somehow feels like it is Vegas's cup to lose at this point. I've lost a lot of interest since the Jets were eliminated and am almost glad I am not committed to watching 3 hours or hockey every other night.
**** that Holtby save late in the third, pretty lucky.

Absolutely unreal. Incredible save.
Scintillating save by Holtby
Vegas gets a split in Washington and drags on the season for a few more days....
Love to see Caps put a strangle hold on the golden showers tonight.
Looks like the Cinderella story is running out of steam.

Yep. Gonna watch the next game just to see Ovechkin if he wins.
Would love for Ovi to get his cup...but then I would really like to see Washington disappear from the playoffs for a while. Sick of hearing about their "amazing regular seasons" every year.
OVI !!!!
Good for him...
Great to see Ovie win he deserves it all!
If Vegas won it would have been a joke!

The coach turned back into a pumpkin LOL
Mucho congrats to coach Barry Trotz ....... long way from home to this victory ...... so very well deserved
Hooray for Ovi, Backstrom & so many other Caps & their organization, who won so many games over many seasons ....... now finally win the big Stanley.
Happy for Ovie to finally have his cup, what a city to win it in as well! I imagine the team found a suitable venue for some celebrations...

Yeah I was wondering what the players would have preferred. Win it on home ice or win it in vegas then party lol

Looks like they had a blast celebrating in Sin City last night. They apparently ended up at Tiesto's show with the cup. ;D
The emotion Ovechkin displayed when he got to hoist hockey's holy grail was truly something to behold. What a run by the Capitals.
The Stanley Cup @StanleyCup
Best. Weekend. Ever.
This account... nice...
