The Penguins' threepeat bid has been dashed by the Washington Capitals in a 2-1 OT victory. Caps win the series 4-2, and will face off against the Lightning in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Goddamit. Sad

Solidarity, Grumps.

Las Vegas is in the Western Conference Finals.

They face either Nashville or Winnipeg next.

If they win the Stanley Cup (very possible, with the home ice advantage Vegas gives them), they'll be the quickest expansion team in the four major U.S professional sports to win a title since the MLB's 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks did it in their third year of existence.

And this record could only be tied, never broken.

Does anyone believe, like I believe, that the Golden Knights will get there?

I really do. It'll likely come down to them, the Preds, or the Bolts.

Now that the Pens are out Cry I'm firmly on board the Vegas Strong bandwagon for the Cup.

I think they would beat the Jets in six or lose to the Preds in seven.

Go Preds!!

Omg sooooo happy that the Jets beat Nashville. I'm pretty content with any of the teams moving forward (although it would be really funny if the Caps crash and burn again, and TB fans are acting a bit ridiculous). Really hoping either the Jets or Knights win. This is going to be a great series.

Winnipeg moving from Atlanta back in 2011 was a huge blow to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's Sun Belt strategy. Seeing a small Canadian market like Winnipeg win the cup will be another well deserved slap in the face.

My mood towards this postseason has changed. Not loving this final matchup. I guess go Vegas, but man it really shouldn't be this easy for them.

I'll give the Golden Knights 2-1 odds of winning the Stanley Cup.

Any Takers?

I take bets in Atlas Dares (like joining someone else's election game, or changing my signature to a signature of the winner's choice, or or the icon to the color of the winners choice).

Time to go Vegas and give Fleury a three-peat.

Yeah, if the Capitals win on Monday, Vegas turns into a pumpkin.

I'm not sure how the Golden Knights come back from a 3-1 deficit against Alex Ovechkin.

It's incredible how much the Golden Knights went so far deapite the fact that it's their first NHL season.

Not really getting all the Caps hate on this board... Caps are not a historically successful franchise and they have one of the most likeable superstars in the league (maybe in sports) who has his best shot in history to hoist the cup. What gives?

Don't tell me it's Tom Wilson because literally every team in the league has a goon player.

The Washington Capitals have won the Stanley Cup!

How much money do I owe people for picking Las Vegas?
