Series Thread: First Round - Vegas Golden Knights vs. Minnesota Wild

[dash]

Nice to see the original LMAFO still has LMAFO in him.

Not his best game last night, but he's like a pitcher who isn't getting any run support.

yeah, I saw a graphic last night that said prior to giving up 3 goals in each of the last 2 games he had a streak of 13 straight games of only giving up 2 or fewer goals. that's pretty good

That's kinda been the book on him for years though, in the POs at least.

He's occasionally gonna steal you a win but will probably give just as many (or more) away, and will generally play solid, if unspectacular in most games as long as the team in front of him is decent.

I really really really dislike Vegas, that said, I hate that the tying goal was disallowed. I don't know what the answer is, but damn it setting a screen at the top of the crease with just the tiniest bit of contact did not stop Talbot from making the save, he failed to make the save because of a beautiful screen. That should not result in a goal being called off. Completely different game if it counts. The NHL keeps saying it wants scoring to go up, not calling off a ton of legitimate goals would really help.

The exact same thing(but even weaker contact and Fleury initiated) happened in Game 4 that completely stalled any momentum.

So at least they are consistent in the stupid ass rule.

You think by now the NHL could get their shit together with those tests.

Ian Cole blows

This seems like a typical Vegas home playoff start.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Holy fucking shit.

Alert the media. Vegas has been called for a penalty.

Ha that was also their first penalty since like half way through game 4, aside from the mandatory penalty for their blown challenge in Game 6.

But yeah, unfortunately we traded for Cole about 5 games into this season.

Parise has to finish that.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Started a little slow but playing pretty well over all.


We need to hit the damn net though. Mind blowing insight I know, but I think we have missed about 4 point blank shots already that required no effort from fleury.

He finished that one.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Lol he was so alone there

 

[mr.hockey4242]

See!! Put it on the net and thats what happens.

Great hand eye by Parise

Can the Wild survive their second period kryptonite?

Nope

No Brodin and now maybe no Suter. Not good news for Minny.
