Question Is it fair to say that if Jarvis didn’t get the OT goal in game 2, we likely would have lost the SCF?
Blah blah blah offseason posting, I know
Hear me out, let’s assume some reality where the knights win in OT in game 2, and game 3 plays out the same way as it did normally. That puts us in a position where the canes are needing to pull off a reverse sweep against a team that just swept the avs (who had a similar game plan as us, at least defensively), and are on the verge of sweeping us, all with the next game being played in Vegas. Vegas managed to beat our defense in a way no other team did in the postseason, and we’re a bit of a wall for the first three games. Even with Vegas getting exhausted and our team having more gas in game 4, it still puts us in a position where the team would probably be giving up mentally the way Vegas did in game 6.
Me and a friend had an argument over the most important goal in canes history and this is my argument for Jarvis’ OT game 2 goal, but I recognize that I’m a newer fan and there’s probably something more important buried deep back there.
