GDT: Game 73: Vegas Golden Knights @ San Jose Sharks | 7:30PM | No Way Jose Edition

[Boris Zubov]

Hell of a win! Both ends of back to back nites.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Well, that final score might have been what I had expected, but reversed.

Well done, boys!

Go! Go!

And PS: Please everyone defend the Fortress in my absence the next couple games!

The first line looked good tonight. Very, very good.

Eddie Adams from Torrence!

 

[Vegas07]

Then again so have we lol

I’ve seen a lot of fans complain that the league/refs are on a mission to help the Knights and I was tired of that theory a year ago.

Safe travels Jonesey!

Honestly, malcolm has gotta go. 3 goals again 11 goals let in I'm his last 3 starts.

He does make some big saves, but he also let's in some very weak ones.

I expected the Sharks to score some goals tonight even if Fleury was playing. And they did have 39 shots including a bunch in the 3rd period. Giving up 3 goals was fine tonight.

I was worried that on the second night of a back to back that the Sharks might get 5 or more.

Fun Fact, by my Count Marchessault has just become the All time Points leader for the Golden Knights!

 

[IceNeophyte]

On their forum Sharks fans have been complaining about the refs all night.

Of course. That's what sharks fans do.

 

[IceNeophyte]

This may be the first game where we got scored on early where we turn around to slam the other team.

Well they still need to make the playoffs, soooooo........

 

[HanSolo]

Next up in true repeat of the playoffs fashion we get the Jets. Who will be on the back end of back to backs.

Is any other trade deadline acquisition having more of an impact than Stone is having on Vegas?

 

[mundyc3]

Sooo I had to drive to LA and back in a span of 14 hours. Was that game as good to watch as it was to listen to?

Simply no.

 

[GKG18]

The most, least impressive NHL trade deadline acquisitions

Stone is mentioned here, but there are other impactful players who were acquired. I think Stone has changed the complexion of the Knights going forward, something no one else can claim.

It strikes me as odd that Stone was never tried at C as a prospect. Oh well. Doin pretty well at RW.

Even for UFA signings it's rare to see a player have as much immediate impact as this.

I really do hope Mark Stone gets tried at C at some point. He was an awful skater which explains why he didn't play c but I feel like his skating is now at a point where he can be a dominant number 1 center.

He's just so smart. Makes everyone around him better and seems to always make the right play.

 

[CBJ VGK]

I think that was as deflated a team as you're ever going to see in San Jose last night.

They know they have no chance of taking down Vegas in a 7-game series, regardless of home ice advantage. They simply have no answer for Vegas' depth. NONE.

To be fair, Pavelski and EK65 were both out....

True, but with both those guys in the line-up and Fleury in net I'm not sure it would have changed the end result.

Possibly not. I wouldn't pencil VGK into the conference final based on this one game either, though.

 

[VEGASKING]

Depends on which Martin Jones shows up. He is still capable of getting hot at the right time and carrying a team. The Sharks with above average goaltending will be a very tough team to beat.

Also which golden knights show up. Hopefully the Stone Age is the end of those many awful games we’ve had this season
