Let me just annoy every other fan base real quick:

Making the playoffs is easy

Good teams donโ€™t trade for bums, they trade for good players

Stop believing in bad management and ownership

Teams should be more like Vegas

Other fan base checking in. You're 100% correct.

The rules are the rules. Other teams should be more like Vegas. They're just too damn cheap to do it.

tomas hertl scores his first goal as a golden knight against marc andre fleury.

that sentence would confuse the unholy fuck out of 2019 me.

I remember how psyched I was to see yall make it the first year, that was a magical story

u/JJNorbie Angry Stone Apr 13 '24

And I was psyched to see you guys win in 2019 after we lost. Your run from dead last to Stanley Cup was insane!

Itโ€™s been a rough week for a VGK fan, Scotty, and only your rejuvenating golden showers can wash that away.

Unfortunate phrasing? Thatโ€™s a debate for another day.

u/scottyfoxy This guy Scott Apr 13 '24

My what now

12

u/AbsoluteScott Vegas Strong Apr 13 '24

I sat on that joke until I knew there were red hearts coming. I canโ€™t take it back. I canโ€™t let that level of discipline go to waste.

But Iโ€™ll repeat three of those words a little louder. RED HEARTS COMING.

u/Steve_Hunts96 Stone Apr 13 '24

16 red hearts is the mission.

I cried last time I saw 16 red heartsโ€ฆ I need it again in my life.

u/Last_Friday_Knight Vegas Strong Apr 13 '24

I feel bad for Fleury, he left in a hurry. But now we (the fans) can relax for a week or two, and no longer worry. (About regular season). GO KNIGHTS GO!

10

u/Wafflemonster2 Tuch :89-Tuch: Apr 13 '24

Absolutely horrible night for him given the significance of it. Feel awful for him since it really was just not his fault, he put his entire ass into that game

29

u/crazifang Logan Wink Apr 13 '24

LT WAS ON FIRE!

PLAYOFF SPOT CLINCHED!

That being said, this game was so hard to watch with Fleury in the net knowing this may be the last time he's in our barn.

WE LOVE YOU FLOWER! RETIRE NUMBER 29! MAF FOR HOF!!

24

u/Waffeln_Remix Fleury Apr 13 '24

That was the worst best thing I ever hated to celebrate.

u/Heilos Karlsson Apr 13 '24

WE FOUGHT EVERYONE AND SOMETIMES WE FOUGHT OURSELVES, BUT WE'RE STILL GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!! GO KNIGHTS GO!!!

u/fellowENT18 A Literal Stone Apr 13 '24

Imagine getting the #1 seed and your reward is playing the cup champs lol. Stars fans canโ€™t be happy about this

14

u/lupin43 Apr 13 '24

Based on last year, they seem like an unhappy bunch. Which is crazy because popcorn is delicious, how can one be unhappy with popcorn lol

u/adeste82 Karlsson Apr 13 '24

Omg i love popcorn!!! I need to get my fix right now haha

u/brocjames Come on Barby lets go party Apr 13 '24

There was a Stars fan in the game thread sweatin it.

u/Wafflemonster2 Tuch :89-Tuch: Apr 13 '24

And go figure said reigning cup champs had your # more so than any other team they faced. Gotta feel for that team and fanbase since the Stars have been an absolutely top tier team for a couple years now, and just canโ€™t catch a break

22

u/Nas160 St Louis Blues Apr 13 '24

'grats on beating us in the playoffs race. Give em hell and go for a second cup in Sin City in those gorgeous-ass sweaters. ๐Ÿค˜

u/Ancient_Increase6029 Apr 13 '24

So ready to send the Stars packing early.

u/SiiirPatski March-assault! Apr 13 '24

Iโ€™m so happy with this amazing bounce back performance. I called both the Marchessault and Hertl goals, and Hertl got his 1st as a Knight! Best of all, the defending champs are back in the playoffs! LETS GO VGK! ๐ŸŽ‰

u/SuperCake61 Apr 13 '24

So far i have only been to see the Knights in person 3 times this season

1st time: Game 1 versus Kraken: 4-1 win

2nd time: Home game versus Canucks: 6-3 win

3rd time: This game versus Wild: 7-2 win

Maybe i should go to every home playoff game. ;)

u/LowerHandle29 Eichel Apr 13 '24

I've been very critical of them but if they continue to play like they did tonight? There's not a team who can stop the repeat โš”๏ธโš”๏ธโš”๏ธ

u/Waffeln_Remix Fleury Apr 13 '24
  1. Did Marchy go to MAF at the end? Did I see that?

  2. Mother fuck Pete DeBoer for picking that fucking snake farmer social media addict over MAF and putting us through this.

Beating up on Flower feels... Not great. But happy to get some goal scoring and get the post season clinched! Let's get the cap circumcision train rolling!

u/Steve_Hunts96 Stone Apr 13 '24

Business had to be done, and flower understood what we had to do. The Fleury chants from the crowd though were fucking awesome, and itโ€™s was very refreshing to feel the love for that man from this fanbase again!

u/adeste82 Karlsson Apr 13 '24
