Also, the mantle of the earth may open up and swallow us all.

Fleury is currently sporting a GAA of 1.68 and a save % flirting with .950. In the cap era, three teams (Nashville 2017, Boston 2013, Pittsburgh 2009) have lost in the Stanley Cup Finals when their goalies allowed less than 2 goals per game. In all three series, the winning team (Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit) also has sub-2.00 goaltending.

Andrei Vasilevskiy gives up well over 2.5 goals a game, and his save percentage is one point better than Jonas Hiller's first regular season as a Flame.

Braden Holtby's 2.29/.914 is better, but not enough to overcome 1.68 in the Stanley Cup Finals.

In the cap era, no team with a sub-2.00 GAA has ever lost a Finals series to team without one. The Vegas Golden Knights are going to win the Stanley Cup.
