Can you believe those Vegas bums have FOUR TIMES the playoffs losses as Carolina???

Im just kidding. Vegas is 12-4 versus Carolinas 12-1 performance to go to the finals.

How do you think the 2012 16-4(12-2 going into the final) Kings would have fared against this insane Hurricanes lineup?

Kings in 6. Just like they did Jersey.

I remember going to game 4 and the place was electric. Tickets were hard to get and expensive because we all KNEW that it was going to be the night that the Kings got their first Cup.

...and then it wasn't. Game 5 happened too. I was nervous because I doubted the Kings could pull it off if there was a Game 7 in NJ.

But Scuderi got plowed and it was basically game over.

Yeah I think carolina is a bit stronger than our cups teams. But prime Quick could steal some games for us.

Carolina wilts against more physical teams that are willing to work just as hard. Especially when the other team has the better goalie. Kings check all those boxes.

Kings were still better, especially in goal.

2012 Kings were a lot more physical than this year's Canes, and I'd have bet on Quick over Anderson. That having been said, I think this Canes team at least can beat Vegas.
