The front offices of both Carolina and Vegas (especially) need to be congratulated for being really competent.
Both have embarrassed the remainder of the NHL.

Only 12 teams in NHL history have lost the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final on home ice. Of those teams, only two successfully rallied to win the championship: [1]
- 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs: Overcame a 0-3 series deficit entirely to defeat the Detroit Red Wings.
- 1966 Montreal Canadiens: Rebounded to win four straight games and defeat the Detroit Red Wings in six games.
Carolina finally scores tonight. Stankoven. 2-1, Vegas, 9:40 to go in the 3rd.
Looked like the puck crossed the line before the whistle sounded, but I suspect B1G level officiating
Carolina takes the lead! Power play goal, Staal. 3-2, Carolina, four minutes to go in the 3rd.
Vegas pulls the goalie and ties it with 1:21 to go. Stone puts in. Wow. This is good stuff.
I’m not sure Stone gets the goal. I think it ends up being the original shooter … from the grassy knoll
The NHL “executive” interviewed during the intermission represents what’s wrong with hockey.
Carolina wins in overtime! Power play goal by Seth Jarvis. 4-3, final.
Series is tied 1-1.

Dang, wish I could stay up for these games. They look a little excited in Raleigh! Going there this weekend.

Carolina is total dog sh|t. 4-0, Vegas, 3:08, to go in the 2nd period. Marner with a hat trick in the period. All four Vegas goals in this period. It could be worse, as Vegas had two goals disallowed in the 2nd.
Mitch Marner with the fastest hat trick in Stanley Cup history -- 6 minutes, 10 seconds.
Holy hell. Carolina with three goals in 39 seconds in the 3rd period. 4-3, Vegas, with 11:54 left in the 3rd.
Wow. Carolina ties it, 4-4, with a power play goal with 1:42 left in the 3rd.
Final in Double OT: Vegas 5, Carolina 4
Shea Theodore gets the game-winner. His shot hits off the boards and ricochets off Bussi’s skate into the net.
Crazy, crazy game.
Vegas leads the series, 2-1.

Gotta have luck too.
Not happy with Canes defensively. Roddy probably made them skate for an hour after the game. I kid. But defense is lacking.
The NHl playoff are the beast of all sports. It’s a nailbiter when your team is there (Pens). It’s fun when you’re just watching for the drama.
Game 4 on ABC now. End 1st: Carolina 3, Vegas 1
Unfortunately, I missed the 1st period, but I saw online that Carolina scored two goals early.
