Stanley Cup Finals - Go Knights! - Page 3 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

Cheapest tickets available on StubHub right now are about $1100 after fees. I’m going to wait a bit before buying my tickets for the Finals assuming they’ll come down. Usually the closer you get to game time the better prices you’re able to get.

Good luck getting tickets.

I actually have seen people say that. They are being results oriented and saying Vegas was allowed to put together a stacked team and complaining about how unfair it is.

These views are actually a joke aren't they. Hardly worth listening to. Vegas is no where near being stacked or were thought to be stacked at the time the team was drafted.

That's because people saying that no nothing about hockey or understand the concept of player/team chemistry, hard work, dedication to the team concept, and all the other many components that make a winning team. Over my many years of playing hockey I have played on teams that look great on paper but come up short on results and teams that have looked very average on paper and had great results.

Any special viewing parties popping up? Would love to be outdoors, do they show games at pools?

Well, Vegas, you are my favorite town in the history of ever. I've spent a lot of money there, talked very good about you, recommended you to countless friends and as a lifelong fan of the NHL and more specifically my beloved Penguins I have a favor to ask.

Beat Washington.

Please.

As a Pens fan I have a love/hate relationship with Marc Andre Fleury and I feel dirty asking him to be the guy to bail me out of this horrible situation, but I have no other outs here.

Please, Golden Misfits, deliver the Hollywood ending and keep Washington from winning the Cup and devaluing the thing to basically just a pile of tin.

GO Knights!

I'll be in town for the Wednesday game. Any edge to be had betting against the Knights? Seems like a lot of homer and square money will come in for them?

(Please don't lynch me for asking! I am not a hockey fan but wouldn't mind following the games for a sweat and a little EV. Also I don't know **** about sports betting.)

Do you have any shots of Smith-Pelley hitting the bench like a little baby? That would be good meme material.

That may be. With a sample size of one it seems like I should be pounding the over. EZ money.

As a lifelong Penguins fan I feel I owe you VGK fans an apology. We should have warned you the warranty on Marc Andre Fleury runs out when you need him most.

Clutch, that guy is not. He has moments of brilliance, followed by long stretches where you will need a team with a HOF offense to outscore his ineptitude. He hit the downturn right when it mattered most, he has a history of doing that.

Your dismissal of Fleury's on-ice abilities, off the ice attitude, and general leadership qualities for a team that had none to start the season is lost on those of us who watched this team game in and game out the entire season.

If you search any of the Penguin forums from playoff losses of years gone by you will see the exact same list of excuses:

1. He played so well to get us there
2. Defense let him down
3. Other team was just better

The guy **** the bed when you needed him most, get used to it.

Keep in mind, I was rooting for you.

Kudos to George McFee, who built a remarkable team in Vegas. But he first built the core of the Caps team before he took the Vegas GM job, and the Caps rewarded him by crushing the Knights in the Cup finals. He might feel sad now, but he’s clearly an elite GM, and the Knights are looking to to be a contender in the years to come because of his talent. You are all lucky to have him. #ALLCAPS
