Game 1 being Sunday at the earliest means Grubauer should be starting again tonight.

It was confirmed yesterday that the Avs backup is starting in net.

 

[VEGASKING]

Might be good news if the Kings actually show up. Not holding my breath.

Might be good news if the Kings actually show up. Not holding my breath.

Problem is the Kings raised the Avs Johansson start with a Grosenick start of their own. I think it's Grosenick's 3rd or 4th NHL start in the last 5 years.

 

[LadyStanley]

Troy Grosenick (former Sharks prospect) is a decent goalie.

He can play in NHL. We'll see how he does tonight.

My guess is he'll be playing for next year's contract. Motivated.

 

[Pasha71]

Will Martinez be back for Game 1?

Sorry if it's been talked about elsewhere alot, but how many fans are you guys allowed at the arena now??? And will more be allowed in the playoffs have they said??

I LOVE watching VGK playoff pre game shows and am hoping alot of fans are allowed in!!

I think we are at 50% with an increase to 70 on June 1?

LAK with a one on zero by Walker to go up 1-0 after one. Kings goalie is standing on his head. Let's go, my favorite team of the night!!!!!


Edit: 1-1 now

2-1 Avs

2-1 Avs

St. Louis beat Wild 6-3 after falling behind 2-0. Finishing 2nd might be a blessing in disguise, Blues are big,heavy physical team that is coming on. I know our record vs. Wild but IF we're healthy I think we beat them.

Now 3-1 Avs

Lol 4-1. Why did I even hope.....

 

[CupInSIX]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Vegas will play Minnesota on Sunday.

Vegas got creamed by Calgary to end the regular season before going to the finals in 2018. I wouldn't put much stock in these last regular season games.

 

[Bonin21]

Told you your President's Trophy battle was the other day when you played the Avs...

 

[Vegas07]

Blah. At this point the injuries are such a big deal I’m far more concerned with them than anything else.

I'm not putting stock in them - but I still think with Patches and Martinez back and Fleury only in net we beat Wild and Avs play a more physical team in Blues, and from what I hear MacKinnon not particularly healthy.

Wouldn't your brother want the Wild to lose? Avs-Wild aren't exactly buddy-buddy.

Except it wasn't. It wasn't over until last night.

 

[LadyStanley]

Hmmmm

Don't feed the troll.

So since nothing has been said, safe to assume the goalie rotation continues?
