Vegas has no one who can step in for Schmidt.

When did Schmidt become this superstar D-man that carried Vegas to the finals? Seems to have happened right around when he got suspended for taking PEDs. Or possibly around when he started taking them. I don’t seem to recall this massive pumping of his tires before the suspension anyways.

Not saying he’s not a good D-man, but I have a hard time seeing why Vegas would fall apart without him.

He was far and away their number one D and was tasked with matching up against the other teams best and played well. There really is no one who can do that right now. He was excellent in their playoff run doing that.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that over the regular season and the playoffs, Schmidt was the #1 D in TOI for the Knights by a significant margin. They are also without Luca Sbisa, who went to the Isles.

Right now, Vegas has Colin Miller as their #1. All season long he was 5 or 6 as far as TOI goes (behind Sbisa in the regular season).

I have always liked Colin Miller, but he is in no way, shape, or form, a #1 D.

Sbisa isn’t a loss, however Holden and Merrill have been bad so it is kind of just moving the deck chairs. Miller definitely isn’t a #1 and neither is Theodore.

Fair enough. Admittedly, Western Conf playoff games is always difficult for me to watch as I'm in Europe and the games are often not even finished when I go to work in the morning. Didn't really catch that he carried that kind of load down the stretch.

Byron with 2 goals and 2 assists first 2 games. Always liked this player.

I hate that the Penguins did the Gold alternate before us....:/

Ours is technically athletic yellow and it honestly looks bad when they use that as the man color

Nope, ours is gold.

That looks like a t-shirt

Well it looks like garbage, so who cares.

 

[EverettMike]

Well it's garbage, so who cares.

Fixed it.

despite that website calling one Gold and the other Yellow, the Bruins and Penguins gold/yellow have the same RGB values. It's the same color.

This is blasphemy and I am so disappointed with you.

haha you can see for yourself on that website.

don't blame me for the Penguins aping the Bruins whole aesthetic

 

[Chief Nine]

It’s official. I can’t take the commercials on the NHL Network any more. The channel is now unwatchable unless there’s a game

 

[Bruinaura]

Please tell me that's photoshopped

 

[KnightofBoston]

I’m confused.

I don’t know what color it is anymore

 

[BMC]

Please tell me that's photoshopped

That just cannot be real.

 

[Tampbear]

That just cannot be real.

It is definitely photoshopped, there are no contours on the pads where the sewing would be and the edges are not cleanly covering the pads, especially in the corners.

Jacob Markstrom's new goalie mask is sick throwback

Markstrom’s goalie mask......those ears are really creepy.

 

[Chief Nine]

Sharks make the Flyers pay for that skunking by the Isles. Two goals on their 1st two shots 11 seconds apart

 

[LouJersey]

I hate the Flyers and their fans but it must suck knowing you will never win a thing having the goalies they have had the past five years. Their goalie tandems are always like a 4th and 5th starting pitcher in a baseball rotation or having Sam Bradford as your starting QB

 

[RoccoF14]

Leafs-Stars tonight is must see hockey. The scoring line is 6.5 goals.

Gotta believe that the over is a lock on this game....Might need to make a little wager on this one.
