Western Conference Finals
Anaheim vs Las Vegas
In this Western Conference matchup we have on one side the team that everyone knew that would be there and on on the other side a team that no one even thought would make the playoffs. Now the question is does the team that made the playoffs have enough gas left in the tank to take out the team that’s been dominating all season long
Let’s start with Anaheim this team is been dominating everyone in the playoffs just like they have been in the regular season. They are led by Reaper, Kidmoney and Tyler Seguin.
On defense Doug who was off for during the first round came back and solidify this team while his D partner Mikeal held things down in his absence.
In net the Anaheim ducks have Mikester holding down the pipes while Tibod has gotten at least two games played in the two series. Mikesters save percentage hasn’t been the best but when you have Kidmoney, Reaper and Tyler and Doug and Mikeal on D you just have to be good enough to win and Mikester has done that.
And now we move onto Vegas who is the lead upfront by prodigylegend, stonerboy and rocketrasared. They may not be lighting up the lamp like Anaheim but these guys do you know how to put the puck in the net and if you sleep on them the score on you quick.
On defense redconcept and execution have been holding it down. And now you add in Plisk who seems to be a bit more comfortable on defense in the playoffs then he is in net.
And speaking of net we have Ciulla who’s been just lights out for this team in the playoffs rocking an 80% save percentage through eight games. His performance to the playoffs is definitely a big reason why this Team is going as far as it has and now were sitting for games away from heading to the finals
For Anaheim to win the series they just need to do what they been doing not overthink anything and not turn the puck over and they will win the series in five games
For Vegas to walk away with a victory in the series they need to pray that ciulla doesn’t give up any sloppy goals and that the defense in front of him doesn’t go around chasing the puck and that their offense can get some time of possession in the other end to slow down Anaheim’s high-powered offense. If they can do those three things the walk away in six games with a victory over Anaheim in a meeting with the winner from the east
My personal opinion I think it’s Anaheim that’s gonna walk away in the series in five games and meet the winner in the east and a possible chance to win Reapers 2nd cup.
