Should be an easy one for Vegas.

The knights could sweep the kings, won’t change 2012.

well played

i sure hope 2012 never changes.......

 

[Bandit]

go knights go

yuuuuuge game

I will say though, I understand. It’s been 25 years and Monteal’s Failures still bring me joy.

 

[HanSolo]

NBC recognizing that Vegas' top line had the defensive capability of a solid checking line. Cool beans.

I expect the Kings to come out flying to make up for no Doughty.

i hear you, the kings wont roll over and die.

still rooting for the knights tho.

cant jump on the kings bandwagon for a long time

Yup. Will be pretty embarrassing if they lose this one.

The announcers are creaming their pants over William Karlsson's 1 SOG and 0 points in game 1

You can already feel the narrative building regardless of what actually happens.

 

[HanSolo]

Player to watch Tomas Tatar, eh?

I sure hope so.

They were talking about his defensive ability. He kept Kopitar under control all night in G1.

 

[HanSolo]

He's back for that anthem. Good choice.

 

[HF007]

I know this guy is already hungry

 

[dragonballgtz]

I sure hope so.

I'm gonna start shitting on him now. When they were coming out of the locker room every was pumped up but Tatar just walking out like, meh

 

[HanSolo]

Rude.

 

[HF007]

Even though Doty is out, knights don’t win another game cause playoff quick is on

 

[dragonballgtz]

I so want to go to Vegas to see a playoff game looks hype af

 

[HanSolo]

Even though Doty is out, knights don’t win another game cause playoff quick is on

Oh yeah, bet.

The narrative is being built. Joe Thornton has held countless star forwards scoreless and yet if he didn't exactly match or exceed his regular season scoring rate, he choked. Meanwhile, Karlsson did nothing offensively and is already getting praised

 

[SniperHF]

Clock malfunction, wat?

 

[AveryQuietMan]

lets create a rivalry tonight eh?

 

[AveryQuietMan]

Clock malfunction, wat?

you never beat the house in vegas

 

[HF007]

Oh yeah, bet.

Vegas style is not made for playoff hockey

Uhhh which player won a Hart and Art Ross again? There's a narrative because the Knights are the shiny new toy and Karlsson had the biggest improvement numbers wise in the league.

It's not fair to compare the two.

 

[HanSolo]

Vegas style is not made for playoff hockey

Clearly.

 

[fsanford]

That is the problem with Vegas, cannot find a working clock anywhere

 

[dragonballgtz]

Tatar, shot deflected and out the offensive zone
