I'll call it to go to game 7 and Vegas will win it all.

Well duh! I've done NS bets without any IRL info being given out, we just have to be creative, but, ya know what? Let's keep it simple. If it's Vegas in 5 - I have to insert a sentence (no more than a line) into my sig, and in cannot be in small font, or otherwise "hidden" and if I win, you have to do the same. Fair enough? Duration's 30 days.

Yep, but he made that save in game 2, so it's all good. Also, first Ovi supports Putin, then he says that everyone on the team's equal, then his fans storm the White House in red jerseys... I love hockey :D

Sure glad Kuznetsov wasn't hampered by the upper body injury sustained in game 2. He has been instrumental.

In all honesty, this series can best be described as "win-win". If Vegas wins the Stanley Cup, then we'd pretty much have the NHL version of Leicester City's Premier League win back in 2015/2016 (something that, as a fan of a rival team even though we don't play each other as much these days, I still congratulate them for). If Washington wins the Stanley Cup then their legacy of failure will come to a very well-deserved close.

If the Caps win, I win the poll. If the Knights win, you win the poll. But I don't care about our poll as much as I care about Ovechkin winning the Stanley Cup, and being one step closer to the Triple Gold Club. We need more Russians there :D

Canadians: 10
Swedes: 9
Russians: 7 (I'm guessing Voynov will be there in the next few years, and it'll get my Kings on the board)
Czechs: 2

Yeah, it will continue the trend. The Astros did it last fall in MLB, then the Eagles finally broke through in February's Super Bowl. Now June seems like a Capital time for it to become a trio of towns relieved of the burden of being called "long suffering fans." And how can anyone feel sorry for Vegas? They have massively bettered expectations. Winning it all too soon could raise expectations ridiculously high in the upcoming few years. In the long run the Vegas franchise may actually benefit. Also, Las Vegas gets to cheer for the Raiders in 2019. No need for feeling sorry for that town.
