Vegas is playing with a determination and purpose they weren't playing with earlier. Maybe they were just having fun early on but now they believe they can make makes this happen. A group of players with something to prove as they were not deemed worthy enough by other teams to be protected in the draft.

I get satisfaction watching the two ex Wild players Haula and Tuch playing great hockey while the rest of the Wild have been sitting home for a month. I was more upset they let Alex Tuch go than Haula as Tuch was the exact kind of player they needed. But they didn't call and ask me before the draft so too bad for them! Cool

During NHL preseason, Vegas odds on the Knights to win the Cup were 500:1

Imagine a $100 bet Smile

I have heard the sport betting bookies are getting rather nervous in Vegas. I've heard they are attempting to buy people out early.

Caps a few days ago were the new favorite to win it all, wonder what oddsmakers are saying after losing two at home?

If the caps put on performance like game 4 they should win two of the next three easily. We has 38 shots on goal Thursday, odds are you win most games when you shooting like that. These weren't one timers from the blue line, we had a number of quality chances. Vasilevskiy was on fire.

Go Caps Go! Big game tonight.

I'm guessing the league and the networks don't care who Vegas plays in the finals! Wink

Vasilevskiy still on fire. Go Bolts, bring it home.

I was on the Caps forum and a bunch of the members are ready to jump off of a bridge, they are pretty much fair weather fans, crazy.

Ovechkin is one of the good guys in sports. He does a lot of good things for average people not many people know about. He truly has a appreciation for living in this country and the success he enjoys from being here. Never mind about that pro Putin Face Book page he has!

He really needs to skate with the Cup before he hangs it up he is worthy of it.

Boston fan here - but I can understand the pain of Caps fans. Caps should have won last night - goes to show you how a great goaltender can control a series.

The Caps need to win one at home then it comes down to game 7.

Here's hoping the Jets keep their series going by winning today!

Well if you told me we'd be one of four teams left standing with just two victories away from a chance at the cup at the beginning of the second season then I'd be happy, heck if you told me that we got eliminated (which I hope doesn't happen) I'd be happy.

At this point we are playing with house money and I'm proud of my Caps. Please make me just a little more proud guys, it's just two games.

It's simple...Tampa Bay came out sprinting last night and the Caps came out jogging, if that. Not that I really care for the Caps, but I WOULD like to see Ovechkin and Coach Trotz raise the cup this year. Got a feeling it'll be their best chance for a while...

As a Bruins fan I’m lookin at TB as the new Montreal. I would love to see Vegas smoke them in a Stanley Cup final

YUGE Bruins fan here and I'd agree, however it's a little premature to count out the Caps just yet...

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that non call on Stamkos was BS, he absolutely tripped Orlov on the way in.
