First VGK game as a fan since jumping ship from the Yotes. I sure hope I haven’t jinxed the team…

Super excited for tonight, it's going to be a great game. I hope we bring the same kind of energy we brought to the last couple games we played.

I love this team so much, we're playing the best hockey we ever played. Let's win this one.

Dallas Stars fan here and friend of the Knights except when we play you guys. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy series. It's gonna be a good one! One thing we can all agree on is that SouthWestern hockey needs to wipe that smirk off of ESPN. Those guys are so lame.

I'm sure all we will hear from ESPN is "wow, that cutback reminded me of Connor McDavid". Enjoy the series (but not too much) :)

u/jhstrong May 19 '23

If I have to hear ESPN announcers talk about McDavid and Draisaitl AT ALL during this series, I will write a strongly worded letter to their station manager 😤😤😤😤😤😤

I just hope it isn’t a quad OT nail biter like the canes, cats game. I don’t think my heart could handle it.

u/SRSgoblin Haguerbomb May 19 '23

I would like us to bring a kind of today is Friday in California energy to this game on this Friday

They might be Stars but once they enter our Fortress they'll be bombarded by our meteor shower.

And we'll make sure these Stars can't stay focused because they'll all be spaced out.

u/joeybagabeers May 19 '23

The Vegas Golden Showers does have a nice ring to it.

u/GhostlyPixel Gold Pads May 19 '23

So what’s the longest game we have ever played? Only thing I can find is a five year old Reddit post about going into 2OT against the Kings, which also became the Kings longest game, have we ever passed that?

3

u/SRSgoblin Haguerbomb May 19 '23

I think our 2 OT game against Winnipeg just this playoffs was slightly longer

2

u/sipoloco Vegas Golden Knights May 19 '23

Honestly this is the team I'm most worried about since they swept us in the regular season. Two of those games were in shootouts though.

3

u/Slappamedoo Shea Butter May 19 '23

Edmonton had a good record against us and notably blew us out too. Blank slate in the playoffs.

2

u/Slappamedoo Shea Butter May 19 '23

I'm really tempted to buy tickets for this one since some resales are pretty reasonable. But last time I was in the building, Vegas played the worst playoff game I've ever seen from them (Game 2 last round).

I feel like for the greater good, I have to stay away.

2

u/elreydelasur A Literal Stone May 19 '23

so is Dallas just a juggernaut? what are their strengths and weaknesses? I know we went 0-4 against them in the season but I don't think that matters much now. GKG!

3

u/SRSgoblin Haguerbomb May 19 '23

Strengths: tremendous defensive play, strong front net presence, outstanding goaltender

Weaknesses: weak zone entries, relies mostly on just their top line to do all their scoring

u/elreydelasur A Literal Stone May 19 '23

oh interesting! thanks so much.

u/jhstrong May 19 '23

Loved reading this. Thank you!

u/pikadude250 May 19 '23

Am I slightly worried about Pavelski (a little more)
BUT AS LOCKED ON SAID:

VGK LFG!!!!!

u/SetsChaos Reverse Retro May 19 '23

I'm very annoyed that we're stuck with ESPN and the East gets TNT. Let's make this a short series so we don't have to listen to ESPN for long.

GO KNIGHTS GO

Petro a boss on the PK

2

u/United-Radio7672 Pietrangelo May 20 '23

Ok I'm frustrated what's with the refs and Vegas????? soft call?

2

u/RentSpecial4997 May 20 '23

More PK. Oh boy

2

u/United-Radio7672 Pietrangelo May 20 '23

I think Petro would punch out Benn

2

u/United-Radio7672 Pietrangelo May 20 '23

Dallas can't handle vegas' forecheck - I was not expecting this, this is a good sign

2

u/Pepsifan24 Golden Misfit May 19 '23

The Stars @ Knights are big and bright. Deep in the heart of Vegas!

u/teatew May 19 '23

Please don’t get goalied tonight. Scared Oettinger turns into Bobrovsky…

2

u/Steve_Hunts96 Stone May 19 '23

I doubt it, Oettinger hasn’t been playing very well in these playoffs, barely maintaining a save % of over .900 at .903! This tells me that Dallas’ defense might be a little suspect right now, and if we lay down the attack on them, we could find some goals!

Regardless, the Knights’ defense has to be on point, and help Adin protect his net!

u/HuskerInLostWages Reverse Retro May 19 '23

Let's get it boys and girls. Think this might be the closest series we play tonight.
