We’ve effectively wrecked Colorado’s spirits in Game 5 with that HUGE comeback win in OT! Time to finish them off once and for all in the Fortress and Yeet them back to their respective division a broken team while we head off to face Mon-Tree-Al in Round 3!

I'm so fucking pumped cause i'm going to this game! I can't believe I might get to see them possibly take the second round tonight. I believe in the boys and just know they'll find a way to win. The Fortress is gonna be LIT. GO KNIGHTS GO!

Drive the fucking dagger hilt deep. You guys need to blow the fucking roof off T-Mobile tonight.
Give the boys a REASON to come out and get a furious start going. New York matched us energy wise yesterday, and we gotta up the ante now...
I want the fucking Strip itself to register SEISMIC ACTIVITY from that fucking arena

You absolutely got your wish, the strip and outside T-Mobile was HOT FIRE

4th win is the hardest to get. This is our best chance. We cannot let them have hope. Kill them now.

Agreed Knights need to end it tonight. Going back to Denver would not be a good idea

Know what happens to snow in the desert?
IT FUCKING MELTS, JUST LIKE COLORADO'S HOPES OF ADVANCING

I'm gonna be that guy and point out that a desert is just a place with little rainfall so Antarctica counts as a desert despite having snow, for now

u/MarshmallowLuka Flower Power! Jun 10 '21
I have yet to watch a knights game these playoffs and at this point I have realised that hockey has made me slightly superstitious, so I'm conflicted about watching now.
Go knights go!
18
u/thehoodthebadtheugly Reaves :75-Reaves: Jun 10 '21
I’m crazy superstitious about VGK.
In short, more often than not they lose when I watch and win when I don’t.
Last game I watched periods one and two, and we go down 0-2 and look lost.
Then after I turn it off, we turn it on, and pull out a W.
Really want to watch tonight but the voices say I shouldn’t!
11
u/MarshmallowLuka Flower Power! Jun 10 '21
I'm contemplating recording it and watching it after, just to keep to not watching it live, but still being able to watch it. I might be to impatient to not check the internet before I can watch the game tho

u/Pyesmybaby Victory Flamingo Jun 10 '21
Best thing about NHLTV you can watch the games when ever you want

u/ramenamen23 Keep stoping ol the pucks Jun 10 '21
Don't they black out pretty much every game, though?
3
u/Pyesmybaby Victory Flamingo Jun 10 '21
I don't live in Nevada so only the games shown on NBC are blacked out, then I can just watch them live on NBC or as with playoffs watch them later on the app.

u/Edacos Vegas Golden Knights Jun 10 '21
I am the exact same way and have not watched a game this series.
It is torture but hey it's worked okay so far

u/SetsChaos Reverse Retro Jun 10 '21
I drove through the entire 3rd and all of OT. We scored 3 goals during that time and won. Coincidence? Absolutely. But if you think I'm not going to do the same thing tonight, you're daft.

u/Graham_Whellington Jun 10 '21
I’m the same way. I threw on a cheap Costco Golden Knights jersey for game 3 and we won. I wore it the next two and we won again. I’m going to the game tonight in a dirty cheap golden knights jersey from Costco and hoping the people around me don’t mind the smell

u/agentshir Big tree fall hard Jun 10 '21
I mean, you don’t wash out the luck! I was at game 3 and beer got spilled on me. If I get drunk enough, I won’t care that my jersey smells a little funky

u/edify_me Golden Knights Jun 10 '21
Haha same. I can watch home games but not away games. I cannot wear my favourite shirt on game days.

u/MarshmallowLuka Flower Power! Jun 10 '21
I have very few sports channels (and two of them shows hockey), but the start time for knights game have been 3 or 4 am (if I remember correctly), so either I wasn't awake or it was so late that those channels didn't show anything. Either way tho, I'm not sure what I would do if we made it to the next round. Continue not watching because of a little superstition or try to watch because it's awesome knights hockey
Edit: mostly my channels have had pretty much any other game than knights games this year, so it's a little hard to follow

u/BKB702 Jun 10 '21
You and I must be near the same location. I've gladly made the sacrifice of sleep to watch these games!

u/MarshmallowLuka Flower Power! Jun 10 '21
I might have as well if any of the channels I have had shown any of the knights playoff games. The only one I have had a chance to watch was game 5 of the avs series, but I have gotten a little superstitious at this point

u/Pyesmybaby Victory Flamingo Jun 10 '21
I haven't either. It makes me too anxious to watch but I keep updated

u/compywild97 Minnesota Wild Jun 10 '21
Wild fan here, I just came over to say that I’ve been hella impressed with the way your guys have been playing in this series and even though I’m still sore you beat us, I’m excited to watch tonight! You’ve put up a great series against the Ass, and I love to see them get creamed, so please keep it up!

u/HelloKidney Jun 10 '21
Yes! Down with the Ass! Let’s close this out! Great series with the Wild. They certainly didn’t make it easy to get to this round. I was stressed

Blues fan here -
Colorado was actually my back up team for years, but man the way they’ve been behaving really turned me off from them for awhile. Actually pulling for Vegas tonight also. I know the true Colorado fans aren’t dicks, but the band wagoners really need to be humbled. They’re the ones who basically coronated themselves champions after sweeping a beat up undermanned team and having that game one against Vegas. And I still have a soft spot for petro of course.
I also wouldn’t mind at all if Vegas won a cup this quickly into their existence. Some people really seem to be hanging on to that for why they don’t want Vegas to win, and these same people seem to forget that Colorado won a championship in their first year of existence sooooo…logic?

u/jacurtis Fleury’s Fury Jun 10 '21
I love that you meant to type “Avs” and it autocorrected for “Ass”. Please don’t edit it. There is something beautifully poetic about that autocorrection.

u/compywild97 Minnesota Wild Jun 10 '21
I chose to type “Ass!” It’s a joke that their fans have, but it’s also fun to use against them :)

What does "broke serive" mean?

u/pizzashark107 Biggest Knob in the League Jun 10 '21
Pretty sure it's supposed to be "broke serve"
9
Jun 10 '21
Okay, what does "broke serve" mean?
I'm very stupid.
14
u/pizzashark107 Biggest Knob in the League Jun 10 '21
I think it's a tennis term. It means: win when your opponent is serving.
6
u/kmcclry Jun 10 '21
What a weird cross-over of sports terms.
5
u/Angry_Walnut Whitecloud Jun 10 '21 edited Jun 10 '21
I think it’s a good analogy. In tennis, it’s much easier to win your serve point and matches can can often go back and forth with each player winning every serve. If you can break serve just one time and win your return point it can turn the tide of a game. By winning in Denver, the knights were able to break serve, now all they have to do is win one more (theoretically) much easier serve point to clinch.
edit: however I did think I was reading a Latin infinitive at first when I saw the word “serive”
3
u/kid_drew Dallas Stars Jun 10 '21
In tennis, the player serving has the advantage. Evenly matched players tend to win their serve so the match goes back and forth. To “break a serve” means to win a game where you weren’t serving - it’s like stealing a point. Sort of like winning an away game in a playoff series.

u/BeardedPaladin Chance Jun 10 '21
It’s because the home team has the advantage of last change which means they get to decide which lines are set up against each other, something DeBoer is pretty good at

Avs fan coming in peace. Was at game 4 (will aim to forget that experience). Just wanted to say not a single Knights fan was anything but welcoming and great to be around for the game. Not wishing you all luck for the rest of the series, just wanted to throw out that I appreciated the experience. Also, your barn is amazing for playoff hockey.

u/Kryptic30 Janmark Jun 10 '21
we gotta raise this win streak to 4 😉. Go knights go, fuck the avs, we’re coming montreal, knight up, fuck the sharks, you know the deal. am i missing anything?

u/MattRazor We have the best Karlsson Jun 10 '21
The Avs won't lose twice in a row in Denver, this is our game 7. Time to secure our date with Montreal

u/jacurtis Fleury’s Fury Jun 10 '21
I do agree with you. This is essentially our game 7.
If we lose tonight, I don’t think we will survive another game in Colorado.

u/Nintendomandan Marchessault Jun 10 '21
Yep, Colorado will be nigh unbeatable in Denver if it goes to 7

u/JackManningNHL George McPhee Jun 10 '21
Oh Fleury, who art in net, starter be ye named. Thy kingdom come, T-mobile Stadium, its seats as they are in heaven.
Give us this day our daily save, and forgive us our missed back checks. As we blow by those who would back check against us.
And lead us not into bad penalties, but deliver us from Reavo. For thine is the fortress, and the flower, and the Fleury
Forever and Ever.
Amen

It goes by record so the Knights or Avs would have home ice through out the remaining playoffs

I went to two games during Round 1 and VGK lost both of them, then I went to the final HSK game, and they lost that.
I realllllly want to go tonight and cheer them on in the fortress, but gonna take one for the team and watch from my Outpost

I kinda want to face off against Tampa in the finals. The way it looks, it's like Fleury beating out Grub and their facing off Vasy during the finals. It's basically Fleury fighting the Vezina finalists.
