I hate the Jets, and most of their fans. It's been such a storybook year for them and it seems like they can do anything.

Vegas will make the impossible possible.

Vegas in 3!

I've been quite annoyed with the success Vegas has had in their first season but I'll be cheering hard for them. Then they can go lose to Washington.

Vegas Knights have provided really entering hockey through most of the year and throughout the playoffs this far. It's a change from the old boring playoff hockey that we been watching for years. It's refreshing. It's the best hockey I've seen in 14 years!

Vegas has yet to play a team that will match their speed and tenacity thru 4 lines. Need Fleury to falter a bit ... Jets in 6.

I don't get how people hate the Vegas Fans. Is it because they're excited their team is doing good?

I mean I don't think I've run into a single fan that's come here and trolled the Flames.

It's going to be an interesting series, I think goaltending will be a key deciding factor.

I've never had an issue with him. I don't want the Dolts winning for obvious reasons. I don't want the Jets winning because the majority of their fanbase is obnoxious. And I'd rather the Knights not win their first season.

I am really glad the Jets won. Not because I love the Jets, but because this looks like it could be the most fun series of the playoffs so far in what has already been a year of pretty exciting hockey.

I'll be cheering for Vegas, but I really just hope each team brings their best offensive game and we see a lot of speed and beautiful scoring.

I just can't explain it, may be "hate" isn't the right word. I find them irritating, just don't want them to succeed....not so early a least. I know, it's irrational, sport fans are irrational.

Vegas still sees the Jets as least likely to win it all.

Tampa Bay Lightning 7/4
Vegas Golden Knights 3/1
Washington Capitals 7/2
Winnipeg Jets 5/1

Every team I've picked has lost. Let's see if I can buck the trend. Jets in 6.

The fact that they think the Caps have a better chance than the Jets is just bizarre...

It goes great with "Golden" anyway and is part of their color scheme.
Black out vs white out.
Someone make it happen!!!
Dallas tried that one year in the playoffs and Turco had to ask them to stop it because he was having trouble tracking the puck with the whole crowd wearing black.

Here's an analogy why you don't want to see Oveckin win the cup:

Sid the kid - Cinderella
OV - Thug
- Cinderella wins

Vegas Knights - Cinderella
Jets - Thugs
- hopefully Cinderella wins

Vegas Knights - Cinderella
Caps with OV - Thugs
- happy Cinderella ending

LOL

WestJet acting fast and adding more direct flights between Winnipeg and Vegas...

Hoping for Vegas, but thinking Jets in 6. They're a deeper and more physical team.
