This Week's Pulse

The Vegas Golden Knights eliminated the Anaheim Ducks in six games, securing their spot in the Western Conference Final against the Colorado Avalanche. Immediately following the victory, the NHL leveled significant sanctions against the organization, including a forfeited 2026 second-round draft pick and a $100,000 fine for head coach John Tortorella over media access violations.

Prior to the series conclusion, Paul Bissonnette of Pardon My Take lauded the team's construction, noting, "Vegas is good, man. Like, they got a strong team. They got good goaltending." However, skepticism remains regarding their path to the trophy. PK Subban stated on The Pat McAfee Show that while the Knights are a threat, "I think Colorado is the team coming out of the west. Vegas has a chance, but they gotta figure out Anaheim first."

With the series against the Anaheim Ducks now in the rearview, the team has shifted focus to Game 1 on May 20. The organization has already opened ticket sales for the Western Conference Final and bolstered their depth by recalling Trevor Connelly and Alexander Holtz from the Henderson Silver Knights to join the taxi squad.

An NHL team that needs to overcome Anaheim to advance.

“Carolina Hurricane fans are loving every single moment of this right now, and I s- do believe that this, if this is gonna be their best chance to win a Stanley Cup since the last time they won, like, this is their chance. If they don't get it this year, and I'…”

They are playing a game five against the Ducks.

“So yeah, the NHL playoffs roll on. They've been fantastic. Sabres at Canadiens, huge game for the Sabres, trying to kind of even the series. And then Ducks against Ties, Golden Knights, game five, I believe. Whoever wins game five, the percentage to win the se…”
