Pacific Semi: (2) San Jose Sharks vs Vegas Golden Knights

[hockeyrobot]

Can the loaded Sharks survive with their goaltending?

[Eskimo Brother]

Playoff Martin Jones is generally a solid goalie. I think he can be average enough that SJs skaters win it.

Vegas in 5.

San Jose depth is too much for Vegas. This first round is gonna look similar to the finals last year. Where Washington was simply too much fur Vegas. sJ in 5

[lucafen4]

I actually don't think SJ is much deeper than Vegas. They have bigger name D and arguably better D... if Karlsson's back. but MAF vs. Jones. Give me MAF

the Strip in 6

Should be a tough series for both teams. I got Vegas in 7. I don't want them to go out early. It's fun watching the Knights

[chuckcouples]

Sharks in 5. Karlsson, Burns, Vlasic, Braun, etc are too much for the Knights to handle. Thornton finally wins his Cup (may be a bit early in the playoffs for this prediction but I have made it).

[Pit Bulls]

This series will come down to two things - is Karlsson healthy and is Fleury healthy. I'm betting on Fleury - VGK in 7

[lucafen4]

Vegas back in the underdog role... They do well there

[Axeman33]

Probably the hardest series to pick IMO. I'm going with SJ but you'd think I'd have learned by now to stop underestimating Vegas.

[hockeyrobot]

Vegas in 6. Martin Jones is not trustworthy. MAF is a playoff stud.

[CascadeFilly]

I've stopped underestimating Vegas, and overestimating the Sharks. Losing is what the Sharks do, but they'll take it to 7. Vegas in 7.

[Auston'sWilly]

No contest in net. Knights in 6

Early series strategy - Carrier, Reaves, McNabb - hit everything that moves, especially with the name Karlsson on the back of the jersey (Just don't hit them in the back) I dunno how healthy SJ is, but Vegas is a really heavy team that can lay a massive number of hits. That 4th line is going to dump and hit. dump and hit. I dunno if Karlsson survives round one physically.
