[hangman005]

We have a scheduled game against the Caps.... whether or not we actually have a game against them is another story.

I cannot believe Lehner will likely be starting.

 

[Vegas07]

Checked the ticket prices. I’ll pass, especially with Lehner playing.

 

[IceNeophyte]

We don't have a choice, as it's one of our partial ST games. I'm not excited to go watch them stink up the ice again.

 

[Vegas07]

Wow losing already? And Dallas is losing to Edmonton.

 

[Vegas07]

Wonder how the players feel. Hearing Lehner is going to start and then falling behind has to be deflating.

 

[RapidKnight]

Thanks Ovechkin

 

[IceNeophyte]

Thanks Ovechkin

I wish more NHLers did that

 

[MrLouniverse]

Tommy was up and stretching the whole period after the disallowed goal, wouldn’t be *shocked* to see him come out in the second.

 

[PlushMinus]

Hey guys why did Lehner get benched? Has the team / coaches lost confidence in him?

 

[IceNeophyte]

Have I ever mentioned this team's passing?

 

[IceNeophyte]

Maybe injured?

 

[VEGASKING]

I'll be generous and say 4 forwards have shown up tonight and 2 of them are 4th liners, Karlsson who has produced like one this season and Patches.

How much longer do Eichel and Stone have to be invisible before he breaks that line up?

Ovechkin one timer from the usual spot incoming to end the game.

 

[John Strachan]

Maybe injured?

Relying on Lehner in goal & Eichel as the #1 center to get into the playoffs. How did that work for the Sabres the 3 years they were on the same team?

 

[Haguerbomb]

Uhh.. okay?

 

[hangman005]

I'm awake... what's happened.

 

[hangman005]

Giving Ovie a breakaway is not a good thing,

 

[VEGASKING]

How did that work for the Sabres the 3 years they were on the same team?

When the teams leading scorer has 60 points while missing 20 games in back to back years it might be an indicator that the team is just not very good with even worse coaching, management and ownership. You could count the 40 point scorers on those teams with one hand but yeah definitely Eichel and Lehner's (.924 and .920 sv% the first 2 seasons) fault the teams were bad.

Kuznetsov stole the first goal or that's a hat trick for Ovie.

 

[VEGASKING]

Giving Ovie a breakaway is not a good thing,

Two is even worse.

 

[hangman005]

Two is even worse.

Yes, yes it is.

 

[Boris Zubov]

What happened to Darren Millard? Was he mugged in North Vegas? Or does he owe money to the Wynn?

 

[hangman005]

We got one point.... do we actually want the 2nd.... I'm like 50/50 split lol.

 

[hangman005]

What happened to Darren Millard? Was he mugged in North Vegas? Or does he owe money to the Wynn?

Cycling accident I think.

 

[VEGASKING]

Yes, yes it is.

Might be a good idea to not give the best goalscorer in the history of the league two breakaways plus another goal on a 2 on 1.

Gotta get the extra point here. Hopefully Samsonov pulls off a hat trick of soft goals like our goalies did the last two games.
