The Stanley Cup Finals start tomorrow between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Florida Panthers. It will be the first Stanley Cup in franchise history for either team. The Golden Knights are led by Jack Eichel, Mark Stone and Alex Pietrangelo. The Panthers are led by Sergei Bobrovsky, Matthew Tkachuk and Alexander Barkov.

Who are you rooting for?

    I’m a Kings fan by default, but I’ve gotta go with the Golden Knights, because I like new franchises doing well, and I want Vegas sports to be a thing (I know, I’m the worst kind of person)… but I hear their fans are dicks, though, so I don’t know. I probably won’t even watch.

      I agree about wanting new franchises to do well. I was really hoping Seattle would have beat Dallas so we could have the two newest teams facing off in the WCF. Don’t know anything about their fans, but I’ll be watching as a little bit of a neutral

        Yeah, I really wanted Seattle to win. They were such underdogs! I love me an underdog.

    As a Finn, I have to root for Florida. Barkov is probably my favorite player and Bobrovsky has been lights out as well.

      Barkov is so smooth. You’ve gotta love Lundell too then huh? Florida has been exciting this year to say the least! Its great to see the conversation about Bob’s contract flipping

        For sure, Lundell is basically a mini Barkov although he hasn’t been super visible these playoffs.
