Last night went as expected IMO. You had to think Florida wouldn't go down 3-0, thus ending the series. The game was closer/tougher than expected maybe, but the result was what you'd expect. I have to give Toronto a lot of credit for their game thus far, watching last night, I think they can definitely win the series. I thought before game 3 Florida could go home and win two, and they still can, but game 4 will be tough. I expect the Leafs to play well, and Florida will need to bring their best, which they can, to even the series 2-2. Right now, you have to give Toronto the edge. As for the Jets, also expected. Unlikely they'd lose both at home, the Jets needed to win. This series should be a long close series, that either team can win. I ever so slightly barely favor Dallas, but it is a 51/49 tossup series I believe. The Canes/Caps series will also be a long total tossup series. And we'll find out if Vegas has anything in a must win game 3. If they go down 3-0 tonight, they may get swept. I hope Vegas wins as I really want to see a good series.
Crazy goal by our old buddy Reilly Smith with .04 seconds left in the 3rd to win it for Vegas. Huge must win for Vegas, and Smith made up for a bad play in game 2 that allowed Edmonton to take the lead. Happy Vegas won, makes that a close long series hopefully.
Hellebuyck continues to suck in the playoffs, especially on the road. On the bright side, he should win another Vezina this season.... Good win by Florida, series tied 2-2. That has been a very close fun series to watch, I think either team can win the now best of 3 series. Two big game 4's tomorrow night can the road teams (Caps & Vegas) get wins to even up their series. I give both home teams the slight edge, but the road teams certainly can win, they are almost coin flip games to me.
