We do realise the game didn't end when Carrier scored right?

I need Vegas -1.5

This third period is an absolute rollercoaster! 4-1 now 4-3! Empty netter coming

yeah… about that.

[CupInSIX]

I cashed out 10 seconds before they scored....

Good call.

We took the foot of the gas pedal, slammed in the brakes, and put the emergency brake on compared to the first period.

 

[hangman005]

Well it's a tie....

 

[CupInSIX]

oh no not the shootout

 

[hangman005]

Well my stream died... which is probably a good thing.

DADONOV!


(I'm not calling him 'daddy')

That was a pretty good gamble going with Roy.

 

[hangman005]

Did Daddy win it for us again.

But it's so fun and creepy

I know I am a big critic, but I really just don’t think Lehner is a good goalie. If he doesn’t control the initial save he does not recover well. His lateral movement is terrible for today’s standards and he’s been flopping around quite a bit again. He’s been bailed out a couple times tonight. He positions himself well and sees through traffic pretty good too I’ll give him that. I hope he makes me eat crow.

What's wrong with being critical?? Lehner is awful, despite doing OK tonight in the shootout. Lousy rebound control, completely out of position after initial saves, crappy glove hand. His main redeeming feature is his size he can block a lot of initial shots.

Lehner is the type of goalie who needs great defense to survive. It is why he did so well when he played for the Islanders being that they played great defense.

This Knights team though so far has been making some really bad defensive mistakes. Every game their has been some pretty bad turnovers and what not.

This goes back to last season as well. Fleury was able to mask these mistakes though. Lehner is not going to be able to do it as efficiently as Fleury did.

A win is a win, but the team shouldn't be happy about it. Giving up a 4-1 lead with 9 minutes to go is awful any way you look at it.

Lehner is f***ing awful

Horribly inconsistent -- Lehner blows either hot or cold with nothing in the middle. Usually, he's either all hot or all cold for a full game, but tonight he blew cold late in the 3rd, then hot again in OT and the SO.

Glad to see Dadonov finally starting to fit in after a slow first few games where he was obviously unsure of his role.

I’m amazed at the number of people giving the same criticism of Fleury. They say he needs great defenders to survive and is failing in Chicago because he isn’t in Vegas anymore. They really overrate the defense he always had when he was here.
