GDT: WDSF Game 1: Minnesota Wild @ Vegas Golden Knights | 12:00PM | NBC, SN, TVAS

We are the better team. Talbot is playing solid, but the Wild have zero offense right now.

The most offensive preassure in 2 minutes the Wild have had were during our PP.

 

[theslatcher]

Reaves getting rest in LTIR has rejuvenated the 4th.

 

[Puckstop40]

This is what I expected in the playoffs. The Wild don't have the depth. Knights defense is shutting down everything. 4th line has been great. I'll happily eat crow about Reaves. That line has been grinding away and keeping pressure. Dominant period. Talbot is just trying to go full Demko.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Not having a lead after a period like that is almost always a bad sign in the long run.

 

[Vegas07]

We still haven’t shown we can score on this team. Need at least 2 or 3 goals after a period like that.

Thing is, I think we can play a much better period.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Half way through the game & it already feels like last years' playoffs.

 

[theslatcher]

2nd not looking too hot. Also, Hartman is a wet fart.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Stone is fighting it. Don't see him miss this many passes like ever.

 

[The Duck Knight]

That penalty is all on Smith. He has to shoot that puck.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Even so, that's a pretty weak call. Sturm lost an edge trying to stay onside.

 

[MrLouniverse]

That’s the “penalty” they’re going to finally take their whistles out for? Okay.

 

[azvgk]

Miss Pacioretty a lot on the first line.

 

[Vegan Knight]

I love how everyone knew Kucherov would be ready just in time for game 1 since a month before the season started.

It's blatant cap circumvention & absurd this shit is allowed to continue.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Fleury keeps us in it.

 

[PumpkinBomb]

I don’t even know if this is possible, and I’m a big fan of his, but Fleury’s equipment doesn’t look legal. Particularly in the biceps and forearms, and Jersey.

maybe I’m misunderstanding the rules or the gold stripe makes it stand out but there’s no way he’s that big in the arms

 

[The Duck Knight]

I'm going to be f***ing livid if these guys can't score and waste this ridiculous performance from Flower.

 

[theslatcher]

Minny would have 100 penalties called on them if this was the regular season lol

 

[The Duck Knight]

I don't even know why I'm so worked up about this. If this is the "offense" we can expect we won't go anywhere anyways.

Flower is out of his damn mind though.

Have to remember this is Minny. There's a reason I'd rather any other team.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Sure looks an awful lot like the Nucks and Stars. Leads me to believe it's less them and more us.

 

[CupInSIX]

GO KNIGHTS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[CupInSIX]

Why did Janmark hop out for 10 seconds?

edit: apparently he was out with Kolesar & Roy instead of Carrier.

 

[CupInSIX]

WILD BILL shorty coming up
