GDT: VGK rubbing shoulders with US Fed 9:30am

[BattleBorn]

Sitting up at 4:50 in the morning in South Korea reading GDT to get updates because it's not on here ANYWHERE... Not so good. I'm missing a great game.

It’s a good game. Why are you in South Korea, and why don’t you have Twitter?

They’ve done great suffocating Ovi. He’s had very little room besides that open net he should’ve had.

 

[Nevada Jones]

C'mon ENetter, please!

Same story in the last game

VEGAS WIN!!!!!!!

 

[HanSolo]

Great play by Carpenter

 

[GKG18]

Sweet! Now I can carry on with my day as though I care about the football game (I don't).

 

[Nevada Jones]

Big win. Never giving up, coming from behind over and over. Shaking off that game in Minny.

6/8 so far on the roadie. Go Knights Go!

 

[HanSolo]

Pretty fitting Schmidt getting the two defensive plays to end the game.

Feels good man

 

[Puckstop40]

Great bounce back win. God this team is fun to watch. Can’t wait to see T-Mobile for a playoff game.

I still watch Ducks games and I can't stress enough how fun the Knights are to watch. You go from the Ducks who have been boring as dirt to the Knights and it feels like watching a different sport. Or at least a different league.

Great play by Carpenter

I think Carpenter has been steadily improving. Seems to have been a great acquisition.

Agreed. I'd also add that Will Carrier has done a lot to change my opinion on him. He's not a gamebreaker, but as bottom 6 grinders go, he's one of the better ones in the league right now.

Tuesday's game against the Pens will be tough. Emotional homecoming for MAF and a crucial game for the Pens in the tight Metro division.

Carrier has the needed toughness, especially against the Western Conference hoodlums.

 

[Bart9349]

No offense to ours but I'm loving Washington's TV crew.

I agree. They do a really solid job. Color man Craig Laughlin is a passionate Caps fan, but he gave a lot of props to the Knights. Laughlin breaks down the plays well and really gives a concise recap of the play. He does go on hilarious tangents, however: "I like the VGK uniforms, but I really don't like the white gloves."

 

[Bart9349]

This just in: GMGM (former Washington Caps GM) was seen driving to the airport with a smile on his face and message to the Caps organization:

I agree. Big win today. Penguins going to be rested and angry after losing to Devils. Will be a tough game to win.

Holtby said that VGK " have four 2nd lines." I think that's a fair assessment.

As much as I love Bellemare/Nosek/Carrier/Lindberg and think they're one of the best 4th lines in the league, no way you'd want those guys playing 2nd line matchups and minutes.

I think VGK has two very glad good 2nd lines (certainly can argue the Karlsson is a good 1st line right now) and two 3rd lines (great bottom 6-8 forwards). In today's NHL that's all more valuable than having a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th line. Large part of VGK's success

I sent a text to my buddy in NYC the other day after the Winnipeg game saying that exact thing. Being a Ranger fan for 40 years has been absolute torture, with almost zero return on my investment. The Rangers play like a piano is ready to fall on them at any given time. They are maddening to watch, & lose games incredulously, especially in the playoffs.

The Knights play really loose, just so free & easy. For some reason you expect them to score big goals when they need them. Watching them is the complete opposite of watching the team from NY all these years. It's refreshing.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Nope. Goal stands. Seriously someone please gif that Tuch reaction. I need it for reasons

Probably you've seen or have this already. But just in case...

 

[HanSolo]

I meant Tuch shaking his head no that there was no goalie interference
