[Game Day Thread] Florida Panthers at Vegas Golden Knights - Game 5 Stanley Cup Final - June 13, 2023

Just wanna say thanks for setting up a game thread here, probably will miss the first period but looking forward to chatting with peeps later in the game and hope it's a good one.

First time image posting on here, hope this works

Seeing this on Lemmy sincerely warms my heart

Well, this is a blowout but I just hope !hockey has an active off-season shitposting community :)

No Tkachuk for the Panthers.

With the Knights leading 3-1, we may see the cup handed out tonight.

Whelp, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a pleasure doing this on Lemmy. But gotta go pick up my son who's apparently having car trouble....

God, someone’s gonna lose an edge on a flamingo and dent the shit out of it before it leaves the ice, aren’t they?

I say this as a strong Florida fan… the Cats are collapsing in front of our eyes.

Florida Right Now on the Bobs Bus

this is a friggin beat down

Who's everyone rooting for here? I'm personally for vgk

Is Phil the Thrill on the ice?

GG everybody, thanks for the Lemmy party, much better than a Lemon party! Fuck u/spez!

Boooooooooooooo

Gary's the spez of hockey

This game is very over

I think we need to expand this tradition of hockey teams adopting pop-punk hits to belt at random intervals

I think that was in.

Well if you're down 3 to 1 in the series, that is not the second period of game 5 that you want to have.

It was 2 - 0 then I had to take a phone call. Came back to 6 - 1. Ouch.

Guys I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Vegas takes it tonight.

Hill is a Mountain tonight!

Congrats VGK! As a Coyotes fan, I'm happy for our fellow desert team!

YOU'RE OFF THE CASE BOBROVSKY

A Goalie Goal is all we need to end this disaster.

What an absolutely epic goal. The balls to just wait and wait like that

cats 4 cats

Stop, they're already dead!

Me suddenly realizing best part of r/hockey and r/NHL was team flairs. Need to put that in the list of features to add.

Otherwise rooting for Panthers want to see Vegas be so close but so far away from the cup again.

Yea... No way Panthers win this one with Tkachuk out.. Bummer.

I am not a basketball fan, but watched the Nuggets win it last night. And it reminded me how hockey seems to be the only sport that does it right, giving the cup to the players instead of the owner. Hearing the owner talk right away is lame.

Vegas gonna be lit as fuck tonight

Ugh... Can the betting drivel please stop!!

Why aren't they booing, I don't understand.

That seemed like a too many men on the ice penalty at the end there.

Now Florida gets to sit on the bench for the next 5 minutes while they clean up the hats

It's like the Heat: great run, but they're running out of gas too soon

Geez, Im rooting hard for VGK, but this is brutal. Can't imagine their locker room rn

Holy shit, Vegas is just dominating right now.

Thanks for posting the gdt!

Congrats Vegas….definitely deserved it. They were dominant all series.

While it kind of sucks the underdog story's ending, at least it means the Staals won't win

Is there an over/under on how many betting ads we have to see before they hand out the cup?

Is it sad that I just realized the chain icon next to the username let's you view the original thread in chat mode in general?

That 0% PP in the finals is about to change!

Well, congrats on the hat trick.

Henrik is too beautiful he needs to tone it down a little

How not to improve your PP%….bring the puck out of the zone on your own.

Well, we did see a goal while a team was on the powerplay I guess.

Stone with the Stanley Hatty, that's my Captain!!!

Presented by Bill Pritchard and Great Value Stephen Colbert

Wow thats demoralizing

Does PP% go negative?

༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ CATS TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ

I wonder if the nice lady in the white dress will be there this year.

Intermission Cup

Vegas putting on a literal clinic.

Just tuning in now. I don't want this series to end yet

"The most dangerous lead in hockey"

EDIT: nevermind lol

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEATTLE KRAKEN HISTORY

H I S T O R I C

Vegas does such a good job taking up space in the defensive zone. Just smothering.

I can't watch 😿

Cats have looked really solid so far

Now, the ultimate test of the VGK fans

Did anyone here why the 2nd goal counted when the whistle blew before the puck crossed the line?

Come on cats, just need a goal every 3 minutes from here on out.

Have they shown Gary yet?

This has definitely been the most disappointing final in quite some time (that my team wasn't a part of). I really thought we were gonna get a good long series but Florida looks absolutely cooked.

On a scale of one to Steve Bernier, how demoralizing was this period?

THERE WE GO BABYYYY! Cats on the board!

I'm a Hurricanes fan, so I honestly have no idea who I want to win. On one hand, fuck the Panthers. On the other, I would kinda' prefer to have lost to the team that won the cup—somehow that would sting less. Either way, I'm hoping for another entertaining game.

Knights better clear those screens, taking a lot of shots from the point

Fuck the Rags, but I still feel for Hank every time I see that goal. Dude is an absolute mensch and he gave everything a player could that run

So far it looks like the Panthers aren't interested in booking tee times just yet.

Boooooo. Goodnight guys.

So, who do y'all have on Vegas winning the Conn Smythe tonight?

Wow - a shorty to go up from Stone.

I don't even think there's a corpse left. It's just dust

Florida is going all in on on offense and completely neglecting any sort of defensive scheme. Way too many turnovers.

I almost feel bad, still drinking this Tequila and celebrating though! Props to the cats fighting every inch to get here and winning their first final game ever.

Yeah, sorry Cats but this is over. It’s been a fun ride.

Alright everyone, scan the boards. Is she back?

Time to UKnight the Realm! Go Knights Go!

Not even bothering to smile. They are just broken

I have to get up early tomorrow morning. So everyone should be prepared for a quintuple overtime game tonight.

Misfit Starting Line! I love it

Anyone know if theres a way to sort comments by new in jerboa?

Never thought I'd hear Kate Bush playing during a sports game

That's my Captain!!!

Now we're talking!

VGK PP

c'mooooooon cats

Here we go boys. Do it for Tkachuk

Also, I’m a bit disappointed at YouTube TV. For the NBA Final last night, they replaced the timeline cursor with the Naismith trophy. Tonight with the cup in the house? Do we get the Stanley Cup? No. No we don’t. Total garbage.

Thanks for posting the thread!

LGVGK!!!

Cats may just pull this one out of the bag.

What a save

Tossing the guy in the bench wasn’t enough, had to get the second shove

Wow, Florida is falling apart

Heyo!

Oh FFS. How the hell did they let that happen.

AYYYYY EKBLAD SCARRRRS

Stanley cup Bingo? How do you think that meeting went down with Bettman?

Well, at least Vegas isn't turtling like they did in game 4.

Finally caught back up live after having to pause for a while. Holy shit has Vegas been relentless this period.

Man, the Panthers are struggling. :(

Looks like Vegas's core is locked down for next year as well. I don't know that I follow how Capfriendly is laid out enough to know if they are having cap trouble to start the year or not. Anyone care to weigh in?

Where was this bob in the second round?

I went to go clean my cooktop. What did I miss?

Who’s your Conn Smythe winner?

Hat trick!

Now I want to find a curling rink. I wonder if there are any near Baltimore?

Congrats Vegas

Did someone throw pink flamingos on the ice?

How loud will stones 'fuck ya' come through on the broadcast when he hoists?

Teddy!!!!

I hate Vegas but they have 24 Canadian players on their team. So Canada basically won the cup, and that makes me happy.

Lol, Marchessault on skates at eye-level.

Panthers can win 2 games in thier next finals series about 20 years from now.

I posted this thread to r/hockey now that it's back up -- so maybe it'll attract a few more flies -- er, I mean, users.

We've passed the Steve Bernier game in terms of the most demoralizing Cup clincher

Jesus, Panthers, really?

Bobs!!! What are you doing?!?!?! You dropped your stick???

The Panthers have been getting pretty good results with random shots on the net. They should do that more.

Is that gonna stand?

what was the vegas penalty all i heard was Cats PP

Holy shit! That was close!

OK, here we go Cats!!!! POWERRRRR PLAY!

They’ve been dead for a while guys.

That was a good chance

First game I've watched since my boys got knocked out. Hoping we get to see what the knights have planned to celebrate tonight

Anyone got any skin in this game or are we all neutrals

Critical error by Bobs leaving that out in the open, but glad it got handled.

This must especially be sweet for Marchessault and Smith

Come on, Florida, pull the goalie for the rest of the game!

Shine that cup, I want to see Stoner kiss it

This guy is great.

Did Eichel finally get one in the final!?
