First team to go up 3-0 (could be the only one, but hopefully not 
), not bad for their first year. Might win a playoff series before both the Jets and Blue Jackets (although in the latter case perhaps only because they had two days rest between games one and two).
Okay, may have spoken too soon.
Fantenberg has looked good for the Kings this series.

41 PP's in 4.2 games tonight, averaging a full period per game of special teams. The Penguins game had f***ing 13 power plays, and the only overlap was 3 seconds of 4 on 4 between a Pittsburgh PP and a Philadelphia one, so 25:57 of that game was a special teams fest.
Yesterday there were 30 (7.5 per game), with 10 of those coming in the Nashville game.
7 per game on Friday, 7.2 on Thursday and 5.67 on Wednesday.
The average in the regular season was 6.09 PP's per game. 7.5 so far in the playoffs. Not exactly Tampa-Bruins game 7 playoff reffing.
Probably. Similarly favourable position to the one Pittsburgh is in.

There are no words to describe what the LVGN have accomplished in their 1st year. Half a billion is a lot to pay for team but I think it's safe to say they got their moneys worth.
You can say what ever you like but at the end of the day you have to give management props for using the given tools to build a competitive team .

It has been a perfect storm (in a good way) for VGK.
First, you have an owner that wanted a team and was willing to pay the fee to join the club. Second, Gerard Gallant became available to coach. Throw in many teams needed to clear up cap space and let good players unprotected.
They have a good shot to advance to the WCF and most likely play either Nashville or Winnipeg and then
I really doubt that Bettman wants a first-year club to win it as it would make the league look foolish but it is also a storyline that casual fans might buy into.

Las Vegas Golden Nights? A.k.a. a Trump special?
Also made me think of AVGN, now I've got his theme song stuck in my head
Watching the Caps shit the bed every single year in the playoffs is comedy gold. What happens if they are bounced in round 1 (or worse, swept) ? Gotta blow that up. Same thing every year. Its funny though, many here said when they signed Orpik and Niskanen to those contracts that they'll never win anything with those two

Horrible and everyone knew it

Have you been watching the SJ games?? They look pretty good and have been doing it without Thornton to this point. Kane and Pavelski have been great.
I wouldn’t give Vegas a free pass.

Just a dumb move no wonder Quennville was so upset
Also can there be an NHL Trophy called the Tom Wilson Award to the player who does the most dumb things to help his team lose.
When he entered an already 2 on 1 in his team's scrum to inexplicably throw down Seth Jones and get a penalty I was A) hoping the Bluejackets would score on it and B) hoping the Capitals would lose by a goal
Wilson is also an HF favorite which I don't get
1. He's the dumbest player I've seen in this generation
2. He's a spot picker and as we saw with Jones a fake tough guy
3. When he ended up with a guy who can fight like McQuaid he got his head caved in and I believe concussed
He's a game-changer all right
Caps should try and grab a draft pick and start the rebuild - they are done

I agree. It’s a veteran team even if people are stuck on the expansion tag. This is Bettmans doing. Not a fan of how they came to be with contracts being taken advantage of. Oh well I’m a hater I guess.It has been a perfect storm (in a good way) for VGK.

Broad Street bathroom. Didn't quite work yesterday. Of course, down there Flyers goaltending is the ultimate pissah.
