CAPITALS at GOLDEN KNIGHTS 8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS Capitals lead best-of-7 series 3-1 LAS VEGAS -- The Washington Capitals can win the Stanley Cup for the first time Thursday. The Capitals are 9-3 on the road in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and 3-0 when they can end a series (all on the road). Teams that have a 3-1 lead in the Stanley Cup Final have won the series 32 of 33 times since 1939, when the NHL started using the best-of-7 format. "It's going to be the hardest one," Washington captain Alex Ovechkin said. "We just have to get it done." The Golden Knights have not lost more than three games in a row this season. They are 7-2 at home in the playoffs. "Stuff that we've done this year has never been done," Vegas forward Jonathan Marchessault said. "So that's the thinking that we have right now." (NHL.com)
I hope it goes 7 with quadruple OT's, because I couldn't give 2 shits about these 2 teams and that's my 2 cents.
