GDT: Game 40: Vegas Golden Knights @ Chicago Blackhawks | 5:30PM | Hangmans Birthday Bash

[BattleBorn]

SU SU SUUUUUUUUUUU

To their credit, this team has no quit in them.

After the Hawks tied things up, it would have been easy to pack up the bags and go home.

 

[BattleBorn]

I'd like some insurance to avoid the empty net time.

 

[Nevada Jones]

EN now.

 

[BattleBorn]

Tuch not selfish enough there, I'd have liked to have seen a shot on the empty net there, even with the risk of icing.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Nerve wracking.

 

[hangman005]

VEGAS WIN!!!!!!!

 

[ChanceVegas]

Whew.... that was a stressful one!

 

[BattleBorn]

There we go, boys.

Next person wishing for loser points that early in the 3rd gets a citation.

 

[HanSolo]

Thank god

 

[Nevada Jones]

I tried telling everyone not to worry when we went down 4-3. This game was really never in doubt.

Oh, ye of little faith!

Happy Birthday, Hangman!

 

[Bart9349]

Time to celebrate someone's birthday.

Didn't have any data for the last stretch of that game. Glad I didnt get back to civilization with bad news. Time to watch On the Fly to catch the goals.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Funny that we play a better game against the Blues and lose. Tonight not so great and win.

 

[MJ65]

Congrats on yet another win - good for you guys, keep it up

 

[canuckster19]

I keep reminding myself Vegas has a team, then I need to remind myself they're much better than mine... like WTF?

 

[Bart9349]

Looks like it's off to a home game against the Rags. Then, a few days to relax and refocus.

After the Rags, the next game will be against the Edmonton McDavids. Time to exact some revenge for the worse loss of the year (Nov 14: Oils 8-2).

Watched the game at Citi National with my GF. Great crowd in there...Must've been 200+ people. Rowdy bunch too! The place erupted when Smith scored on the breakaway! Good clean fun!

Lots of eye candy in there tonight. Too bad I'm not single.

Great win for the boys. They could've folded when they went down 4-3. They continue to impress me.

 

[Soundgarden]

Sounds like I missed a crazy one.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Watching the replays of the Hawks' goals I'm giving a shoutout to Malcolm. He let in four, but I think can only be faulted for maybe the second one.

Looking at +/- FWIW I see Neal -4, Haula -3 and then there's McNabb at 0, but had been on ice for 3 of 4 Hawks' goals.

Just an amateur observation.

That is all.

 

[Bart9349]

I couldn't have imagined these standings, even in my wildest (somehow chemically altered) dreams:

Pacific	GP	W	L	OT	PTS	ROW	GF	GA	DIFF	HOME	AWAY	S/O	L10	STRK	Last Game	Next Game
Vegas	40	28	10	2	58	26	141	112	+29	17-2-1	11-8-1	2-2	9-1-0	W1	Jan 5: VGK 5 - CHI 4	Jan 7 vs NYR

I know it's early, but I have the perfect idea. It's pretty much a statistical impossibility that the Knights miss the playoffs. So bear with me. Playoff avatars.

Slide 1: Everyone laughing at the team.
Slide 2: Everyone crying about the team.
Slide 3: Making history... through revisionist history.
Slide 4: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2018.

Does that mean you're volunteering?

Does that mean you're volunteering?

Yeah, I'll make some of them.
