One year removed from not making the playoffs, the Vegas Golden Knights will begin their Quest for The Cup Saturday at T-Mobile Arena against upset minded Florida. The Panthers defeated three of the hottest teams in the NHL enroute to the Final. They will have nine days off between games when they step on the ice on Saturday. VGK is a team that is looking for respect, after a lot of experts overlooked the Golden Knights despite winning the Pacific and Western Conference in the regular season. Some of the keys in the series include: How will VGK slow down the Panthers Matthew Tkachuk in the series? Will Jack Eichel take over in the Final? VGK has to avoid going into the penalty box against an opportunistic Florida team. The Golden Knights need to establish an identity early in the series against a team that is very physical. Also VGK has to win D zone faceoffs and protect the puck. We have our series predictions and as always on Friday's, it's time for WTF with listener comments.
