    And just how did they do that???   Trotz has to be given some type of recognition by coming up with a game plan to neutralize the fast transition style of play that Vegas utilizes.  The Caps effectively kept Karlsson and company off the scoresheet.  Add to that that there were several goals scored off of mis-directions and deflections.  No goalie, no matter how good, can stop those types of shots.  So again I ask, just how did the Caps get into MAF's head?

    There are things done and things said to him that out him off his game. Which in MAF's case its quite easy to do!

    I'm not a fan of Ovechkin, but looking at his carrer he had to win it at least once. Ironically, the Caps won it as they were not waited anymore after choking several times during the postseason. They had less pressure and that surely helped.

     

    Quite an abrupt finish for Vegas with this 4th straight loss, but reaching the final remains quite an astonishing performance. Again, one of the deciding part of the final was the tenure of Washington's bottom-6: their 3rd and 4th line were well above Vegas'.

     

    I'm wondering if Bergevin slept well that night, given the fact Smith-Pelly and Eller (who scored the tie-breaking and winning goal in game #5, respectively) were pretty much underestimated but key contributors in this final. Besides that, A little thought for Karl Alzner who claimed out loud when he signed with the Habs that "Montréal was closer to win a Cup than Washington"...

    The Capitals knew how to get into Fleury head. Learned from his days with the Pens. The difference is the Pens knew that and Vegas didnt!

    I was just about to say that they beat the Vancouver Canucks to their own jerseys!  Vancouver was going to switch back to the 1990's style uniforms but now Vegas has the same colors.  :)

     

    The transformation will be complete once the Knights switch the silver to black, and I think that change will happen sooner rather than later. Within five years they will look exactly like the Canucks from the mid 90's.

    Do you think that he will help the Rangers win the division? :hehe:

    I agree, I think they got it right on the first try here.then not only V for Vegas, but V for Victory too.  I wish the Kings would bring back the crown in their logo again with some purple stripes or piping as I'm not a fan of their current look.

     

    btw,  :welcome: to the site.

    Agree with you on the Kings uniforms! I liked the uniforms of the mid to late 70s! Should bring those back.

    I like. Just noticed the "V" in the helmet. Not too over the top - they look "professional".  I do think that it's not a coincidence that the focal colors are black and grey what with the Raaaaaaaaaiders coming to town in a few years.

    Similar to the Canucks in the early 90s!
