Vegas has been gaining momentum during this playoff and is now, perhaps, in optimal shape. The Knights’ hardest streak so far was against Minnesota and then the team made a comeback with Colorado, winning 4-2. They began to enjoy their chances and score at least three goals per game. In addition, Marc-Andr? Fleury is excellent at the goal, who even in the previous meeting with Montreal reflected 28 shots in total. It is noteworthy that Peter Debour’s charges conceded the only goal in the 4×5 format. By the way, the team plays much better on the home arena than on the road and during the Stanley Cup they lost only once in regulation time.
The Hawks really turned into a dangerous contender for the championship contenders. The team worked hard, for which they were rewarded with a ticket to the playoffs. Nate McMillan’s players did a great job in the first round, when they dealt with New York in five games. Few expected the Knicks to surrender so easily and without a fight. The Atlanta players were well aware that it was too early to rejoice, because in the next series they were waiting for Philadelphia. Surprisingly, it all started with an away victory, which became extremely important (128-124). In the next two matches, the Hawks felt the full power of the Sixers, so they had to give up. The fourth game in the series could be compared to the final, since Trey Young and company could not be lost under any circumstances and they held out (103-100). We would like to highlight the individual actions of Bogdan Bogdanovich and his 22 points.
