The Stanley Cup Final starts tomorrow night.
Carolina Hurricanes vs Vegas Golden Knights.
Carolina went 12-1 to get here. They have allowed 21 goals in 13 games. Frederik Andersen has a 1.41 goals-against average, the best of any goaltender remaining. They have not lost two games in a row all playoffs.
Vegas swept Colorado, the Presidents' Trophy winners, in four games. John Tortorella took over as head coach in late March and went 19-4-1. The Golden Knights are red hot at exactly the right time.
Trader consensus has Carolina at ~62% to win the Cup. Vegas at ~43%.
The crowd respects what Vegas has done but backs the most dominant defensive team in recent playoff memory.
Two of the best goaltenders left. Two of the best defensive systems in the NHL.
Goals will be hard to come by. The crowd thinks Carolina wins it. Do you agree?
