Tampa Bay takes a 3-2 series win following a 3-2 win.
Married so.....did this did that & more of go to do more of this & that...in other words not home.
Was going to re watch the game but is getting late.
3-2 ya say & 3 straight wins by Tampa Bay.
How important is having a top goalie in the semi finals?????
Must of been a good game to watch.
      Sunday it 's do or die for Jets. Think they will Do & not DIE.
Knights seem to be slowing down as they do not have that quick transition speed they showed against LA & San Jose series. Those were were physical hard hitting & think the Knights are nicked up/ bruised/black & blue / sore joints.....
Please Jets do not be physical against my team. Please Jets be like choirboys & just skate pass shoot but please do not hit or hand out body checks!!!!!

2-1 with 5 minutes to go in. 2nd period. Again Fluery is making many key saves.
Ya just know the Knights want to get this 4th win & kick out the Jets in 5 games.
With any justice they know this series could be 3-1 Jets & not Knights.
At least min. 2-2 in games.
Jets goalie is playing great but the pucks just seem to get thru. & hit the crossbar or post & go in off screens / shot from the blue line.
Puck fate.
Oh know Jets man advantage.
The %€£+¥{ Jet goalie should of got a penalty delaying the game 10 secs when he changed his mask!!!!!!!!! Or call a T.O.
Good good good Jets fan on puck...good good good waited too long to shoot... ;D
Think FA must be pulling his hair out!!! Or yelling come on come on SHOOT THE PUCK!!
Jets need better "hands" They got cement hands  ;D ;D Lack polish around the net. Killed the penalty & going to the 3rd losing 2-1.
Please Jets do not pull so fast one like what the Bruins did to the Leafs 5 yrs ago. ;D
Who can forget as FA seems to remind Chris about it over & over.  ;)
Come on Knights finish it off & get rested & healed up while the Caps & Tampa battle it out in games 6 & maybe even 7. Remember more Canadians on Knights team than the Jets so who is the true sea to sea team ????? Knights of course.

Game set. & match.
This was not a 4-1 series.
Could very well be 3-1 series for the Jets!!!
Congrads in a great effort.
Jets were in each game & literally even could of won 4-0.
Fleury was hot.
Dream for Knights has one last chapter to be written.

Jets unable to capitalize on 4 power play opportunities and when they had opportunities they shot wide. Go Tampa Bay !

Classic NHL playoff success, get into the playoffs and have a goalie play out of their freakin mind and carry the team.

Guess you guys were wrong about the Jets winning the series against the Knights  8)
Gotta give both teams credit though. Each game them guys played their hearts out. When a team gets even into the 2nd round & of course 3rd it's a grind & each game full out skating & punishing body checks. Jets & a Wild was not overly physical but Preds & Avs & then Jets were very hard hitting.
Knights have come thru 3 rounds of fast skating & very very physical games. Kings & Sharks style of play is hard hitting & while the bodies are on the ice they get odd man scoring opportunities.
Hope Wash. & Tampa play two more games & get extra tired ( even a couple of 3-4 O T games thrown in the measure.  ;D )
Well TNA said in past he like the Caps ! They are a good team. Nice to see OV & his teammates hoist the Cup. OV plays hard very night & every year.
By FA post he's cheering on Tampa. This team has opened my eyes as who ever can win 3 in a row ( two in Wash.'s rink. ) against the Caps in the 3rd round is one good team. Each game very close.
Gotta think the Caps will win today as they surely do not want to be kicked out & also lose 3 games in their building!!! Bitter pill to shallow.
This series should go to game 7.
As for the Knights they will be rested & ready to go. This team has great team chemistry & they just do not bend in pressure situations. Fleury has really surprised in his play. He has played great all year.
But it's not what have you done for me lately it's what have you done today that counts. The present game of the day. The finals the goalies have to "keep it together" mentally as the pressure keeps getting higher & higher. If your goalie has a bad game it 's like a car or bike getting a flat tire. Motor trans ok but your not going far. Ask the Preds in game 7. Flat tire ( goalie had bad start ...team got behind the 8 ball  ) Honestly am happy if the Jets got the Cup ( but it's over for them ) or Caps / Tampa / but am hoping for Vegas. Whatever team wins it will be a good choice.
All the best to FA new team ( Vancouver to Winnipeg to Tampa ) & to TNA new team ( Preds to Caps ) & my new team ( Vancouver to Vegas ).
Hey even the Knights play an Elvis song at the end of their home games !!!! Icing on the cake!!!!!!

Well there's  9:22 left in the game & the score is 2-0. Watching replay as was out all day. Oh Caps got a penalty. Great game & the Caps are playing like they want to get this W in their building but more important get it to game 7.
Both teams have very good skating skills.
 Both goalies playing super.
Washington has the better effort in this game and good % of the play because of sheer will power.
2:21 left & still 2-0 the score so quite safe to say game 6 is predicted to go to Caps.
Game 7 in Tampa & winner goes to finals & loser so close but so far & goes on vacation. Like a kick in the ...... . Only one team will get the ultimate prize. THE CUP.
Caps came up big in this game.
Tampa & Caps game 7 & both want to get to the finals. Tampa must be happy it's in their rink. 1:27 ...tick tick empty net... 3-0 empty net goal.
TNA team wins. FA team loses. My team Knights resting.  Wow this is great hockey & drama. :)

Game 7 Wash vs Tampa in Florida.
Gotta think Tampa has the edge because of it's in their rink & the 1000s of cheering fans routing them on. Both are great teams with lots of hockey skill at every position.
All the best to FA 's Tampa team & all the best to TNA 's Caps team.
OV deserves a Cup in his life time as he plays his guts out. But one guy cannot win Stanley Cups as it's a total team effort. 
Tell ya the truth Vegas Knights will be the under dog whoever they meet. Both Caps & Tampa are talented mature hard working great skating teams & they have DESIRE & no weak links in the playing chain. Well coached. The big pos. is Vegas will be extra rested & they have been a hard working team all year. Vegas is also well coached.
Game 7 eastern final. If ya have a heart problem or high blood pressure ya better take your bedtime meds early ( game time )  ;D may save ya a 911 phone call !!!!

Not looking for the Lightning. Washington seems to be the team of destiny in this year's playoffs.

Not looking for the Lightning. Washington seems to be the team of destiny in this year's playoffs.
Just finished watching the game. 10:25 pm finish. Watched the recorded / rewind Telus version.
Wow 4-0 Wash over Tampa Lightning in game 7 in Tampa as well.
Down 3-2 in games & Caps win 2 straight.
Game 6 Caps hammered & pounded Tampa all night with punishing / hard hits. Think Tampa was still bruised up from that game.
Caps are a great skating team. They take 5-6 quick strides to build up speed & then they bend their legs & then just glide around for twenty yards till they again take quick strides & then glide....glide they get their breath back. They also have quick turns & skate backwards nicely. All in they play a good system & offence /defence & good goaltending.  Ya to be honest I am pulling partly for a Washington Caps as OV has been that hard skating player thru the years & just for that reason would be happy if Washington wins the Cup. 
But I have to cheer on Vegas because have been cheering for them since round 1 so gotta cheer for them hell or high water. Caps sure must be favoured & look to be the best team as FA said it well " a team of destiny " but Vegas had a 4 game series & then 6 & then 5 so they should & off for a week so they should be fresh & ready to go full out.
Caps though look like very in shape muscular good powerful legs strong upper body,heavy shots,great passing on & on... Only time will tell.
Hopefully Caps do not win 4 straight  ;D 
Hope the games are close & exciting whoever wins.

Hey I got a good idea. Let's call the NHL head offices Betman (?) & order him to start the Cup finals TODAY in Vegas!!! Oh I know the Caps played yesterday & Vegas have had a good rest but that's OK.
No problem. Do not send letters : Phone today & if we get millions to do so...we can watch hockey tonight! ( Vegas should win easily as the Caps are exhausted from last PM's game  ;D ;D ;D::)
