So Vegas has a 90% chance of winning the series now on money puck? For most of the season the Flames percentage of making the playoffs on that site was in the 80's so doesn't mean much.
Let's see who wins the next game.

People haven't been gloating about the Panthers winning. We've been cheering for the Panthers to win in three different series threads, while others have been cheering for them to lose (either because they're mad about Tkachuk leaving, or because they've bet on Boston/Toronto/Carolina etc).
The gloating happening now is the
"see? we were right! Florida does suck!" posts. Yeah man, we get it, you said they'd lose to Boston, you said they'd lose to Toronto, you said they'd lose to Carolina and you said they'd lose to Vegas. When they beat Boston, it wasn't
"ok we were wrong" it was
"they only won because....". Same with Toronto and the same again with Carolina. Now that they're finally losing, it's
"we were right all along!!" when they were literally wrong in all three previous series ("Boston in 4" "Toronto in 5" "Carolina in 6").
Congrats all around for Florida finally losing to one of the #4 teams in the league after beating the #1, #2 and the other #4 team to get here in the first place.
Edit: The crazy thing is that I was really just cheering for Tkachuk in the beginning, who's been my favourite player in the league for the last few years, but once they beat Boston, I found myself actually cheering for the whole team... and I'm a fan now. They have some really fun players to watch, and how can you not like the story of Chucky finally being free to lead the way he wants to and watch a team completely buy into it and have both fun and success while doing it?
