GDT: [Game #45] Dallas Stars @ Vegas Golden Knights - 5:00 PM CT (BSSW)

[Elysian]

A wild Kivi goal appears

 

[Kcb12345]

Looks like Pietrangelo tipped it into his own net. Kiviranta's goal imo

 

[ugrakarma]

Good boy Stonebeach.

 

[piqued]

Robertson is so good. Controversial, I know.

 

[Troy McClure]

I wonder if there are any other all-Euro 4th lines in the league

This is a very big difference we never saw even a few years ago. Canadian GMs always loved filling their bottom lines with good ol' western Canadian boys who played the "right way." Those grinder spots never went to European players and certainly would never go to a Russian.

But almost overnight GMs realized their teams benefit from going with better skaters instead of worrying about who hits more and is willing to fight.

This personal injury lawyer on the Vegas broadcast has the advertising presence of a Fortune 500 company

Part of me misses the unable to skate pugilists trying to play hockey in the 4th line.

 

[piqued]

All I know is Vegas hasn't been the same since Ryan Reaves left, no matter how much he sucks

Miller has definitely played better in the barns of his former teams this season

Seguin: f***ing dive!

Yep, a f***ing dive

 

[roryjones]

How did that stay out?

 

[ugrakarma]

Suter actually moves when he's bothered to skate unlike Seguin. Wonder why he's stuck in constant diesel mode.

 

[Kcb12345]

Unreal goal saving play by Glendening

 

[Elysian]

Solid game so far.

 

[piqued]

Yeah, Glendening saved a goal twice there

 

[ugrakarma]

The good old yard sale defense.

 

[piqued]

Had to look up who Paul Cotter is and why he's on the Vegas #1 PP. Bizarre to see someone drafted by Vegas actually playing for Vegas

Started thinking about this after noticing how overwhelmingly North American the Vegas roster is. Some GMs certainly still subscribe the good western Canadian boy trope.

Why do they bother 'interviewing' players during the intermissions. Basically it's just a randomized version of the cliches.

Gotta fill intermission with something.

 

[piqued]

Alright Miller, let's tone it down a little on the pinching

 

[starsfan86]

Is Marchment tired from playing so many games? He looks lazy as f*** now.

I noticed he lazily reaches for pucks too all the time, making it look like he's trying

 

[piqued]

I know we're a 4 line team and all that but the less we see of Marchment-Glendening-Gurianov the better

Miro papers over so many mistakes

 

[Kcb12345]

Beautiful defensive play by Miro there. Doesn't get any cleaner than that

 

[ugrakarma]

I wouldn't mind someone with Radulov's hustle but without the penalties.

 

[Kcb12345]

Suter! Lol
