Oh well, looks like the clock is about to strike midnight on ol' Cinderella. :-( Cats gettin' smoked 3 zip with 35 minutes to go in game 2.

It would’ve been nice to see them go 1-1 in Vegas, but now they get 2 at home to work with.

I watched the entirety of game 2. Very disappointed. Despite the score 2-0 after 1st, I thought the play was fairly even. And then it went to shit. Vegas did a good job of blocking shots and stifling FLA in the O-zone. All I kept hearing is Eddie Oldchick chiming in with.....FLA hasn't had a shot in 5 minutes...6 minutes ....8 minutes. I am sick and tired of the announcers being so "pro-Vegas". And FLA was in the O-zone and had many many shot attempts, but they could not hit the net to save their lives (or theirs Cup hopes), and Vegas DID block a lot of shots. And then FLA still outshot Vegas by the end of the 1st, but you don't hear the announcers say anything about that. Vasilesky didn't have his best game, but you know the bounces just kept going Vegas' way. I mean a FLA player would make a defensive play and knock the puck off a Vegas stick and it would go right to another Vegas guy. Vegas goalie was pretty damn good or pretty damn lucky. Reminded me a little of watching the Caps....lots of attempts, but nobody could hit the net...and FFS SHOOT THE PUCK! So frustrating.
Anyway, I think they are probably done. I hope not. I hope FLA wakes the hell up and the bounces start to go their way.
And Tkachuk....two ten minute misconducts in one game? How the F did he get 2 and 10 for a clean hit on Eichel? Oldchick kept saying it was a bad hit, but watch it in slow mo....and Tkachuck never moved, never lifted his arm, was making a clean shoulder check and Eichel kind of fell into him. It looked bad at full speed but it wasn't that bad. There was no penalty call on the hit. I realize there was a lot of nonsense after the hit and that's where Tkachuk got the minutes, but what about the THREE Vegas guys who jumped him after the hit. There should have been a FLA PP for all that. The hit on Gudas was much worse and there wasn't even a penalty. He got a shoulder to the face and fell awkwardly and bonked his head pretty good on the ice. I think he might be done.
Tkachuk's second 10-minute misconduct was a joke. He literally tapped the stick out of a guys hand as they were standing around the crease after the whistle. Yes, he is an agitating fucker, but 10 minutes for that? I'm sure the refs were trying to keep the game from getting out of hand, but that was a bit much. Not that it would have made a difference in the game at that point.
Mostly, I'm just disappointed the Cats didn't play better.
And FUCK VEGAS.
