stanley cup playoffs

They Did It!! Yes, Las Vegas Hockey has Arrived. 

If you don’t believe it here is the Las Vegas Golden Knights schedule for the Stanley Cup Finals. The first game starts the evening of Memorial Day, May 28th at 8:00 pm Eastern. I’m sure a quite a few Vegas hockey fans will have a TV set up at the campsite to witness this historic event.

Not only did the Vegas Golden Knights prove all the sports pundits wrong by winning all three playoff series, but they didn’t have to play a full seven-game series. This is HUGE people!! The team had more rest between series games and this is an advantage.

So the Golden Knights players are coming into the Stanley Cup finals not only on inaugural season adrenaline but also fresher than the Washington Capitals, who had a hard seven-game battle against the Tamp Bay Lightning.

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Washington Capitals History

The Golden Knights played the Capitals twice during the regular season and both times the Golden Knights have won. This automatically gives Vegas an advantage over Washington. Vegas shutout 3-0 the Capitals on December 23, 2017, giving Marc-Andre Fleury’s first shutout with the Golden Knights.

Below are summaries of the previous meetings between the Vegas Knights vs Washington Capitals.

The second game on 02/04/18 wasn’t as easy as the first game.  The Capitals were ready for the Vegas Golden Knights but still couldn’t come out ahead with Vegas winning 4-3 on Washinton home ice.

What does this mean for the two teams meeting during the Stanley Cup Finals? Logically it means the Vegas Golden Knights will win the 2018 Stanley Cup. But in hockey, there is nothing logical.  It’s not over until it’s over and let’s hope the Las Vegas Golden Knights schedule doesn’t go beyond five games.

Winning four in the fifth game gives Las Vegas the Stanley Cup win at HOME. Can you imagine the craziness?

2018 Stanley Cup Final Preview

The Vegas Golden Knights are at the top of their game, yet so are the Capitals, however, Vegas starts with a home-ice advantage. The importance of this can NOT be underestimated. T-Mobile arena is the loudest and craziest hockey arena in NHL hockey. Vegas has become a hockey city and the Golden Knights hold the NHL home win record for the season.
