We're fine.

I am very much unworried.

 

[Vegas07]

The team has flipped the switch on and off this season. Guess they think they can do it again.

 

[BattleBorn]

Also, did these f***ing belches just na-na-na-na us?

 

[hangman005]

VGK WIN!!!!!!!! Oh wait we were the white team.

Yeah, we're not catching the bus with them to the golf course.

That wasn’t the Vegas fans? Kings fans still show up to their games?

They finished last year almost exactly the same over the final 20 games including a 7-1 loss to the Flames in game 82. If they lose it won't be because of anything that has happened in the last month.

I was thinking earlier that I couldn’t remember game 82 last season.

 

[HanSolo]

Fun parallel. We ended the season the way we started. Defeated 5-2.

 

[Vegas07]

We were just trying to get all our bad games out of the way. It’s the same reason we keep hitting posts and losing interference challenges. Things will even out in the next few months and our opponents will be the ones complaining about their bad luck.

Things will change in the playoffs and we will go 16-0.

Not the game I had hoped for, but given the scratches I suppose it's what we should have expected.

Having some bad feels going into the series vs Sharks, which may be good as I'm usually wrong about these things, but the VGKs have not looked good since the initial effect of the Stone Age wore off. Couldn't even get that one point to clinch the playoff spot and had to back in thanks to the Avs.

I'm trying to blame things on Malcolm since he played so many games during that stretch, but can't put it all on him I don't think. Maybe we really were just coasting, and I'd like to think we can just flip the switch and turn it back on Wednesday, but I don't know if it's so easy.

Also, Flower was outstanding before his paternity leave, but now has given up 8 in 2. Again, I know we have to blame others on the ice, but does anyone else feel like Flower hasn't been so sharp these last two games? I know he's had to knock the rust off, but I keep replaying that stop he bobbled last night and let the rebound get away for a Sharks goal. Flower has looked solid often in these last two games, but I think if we're gonna advance we need the kind of performance from him as we did last season's playoffs...surrealish. (Insert spooky theme music here.)

I knew there would be regression this season, just had to be. But after the first 20 games without Schmidly, I was afraid we were gonna land a lot harder than even I imagined. Even making the playoffs looked questionable then.

But going into this season my own private goal/hope was that we'd at least make the playoffs. That way we could say we're the only team to have never missed the playoffs! So I'm fairly satisfied with this season, and if we do get past the Sharks I'll think it a bonus.

Confession: I'm rambling because I'm trying to put off vacuuming the abode.

 

[Guns n Roses]

Good luck to the Vegas Golden Knight!

Get a Roomba, or throw icing sugar everywhere call up the feds say a drug kingpin threw cocaine all over your house and watch them vacuum it up as evidence.

Hi guys... Martin Jones here. Tell me more about this on/off switch? I may need it to play you guys.

 

[clydesdale line]

Last time I was here (well, drafted here), you guys went all the way to the SCF. So here's hoping for a repeat.

 

[hangman005]

Hi guys... Martin Jones here. Tell me more about this on/off switch? I may need it to play you guys.

In your case ensure the switch is firmly in the off position. Weld it there if you have to

We can’t even beat the Kings (or almost anybody else) when the switch is off. So you guys should be fine if it stays off.

 

[Vegas07]

Last 2 games were against Arizona and LA, not exactly great offenses, and Subban lets in 8 goals. Oh wait, that was Fleury?

Not that I think he is great but I have a higher opinion of Subban now.

He looks worse when the team is playing like crap. Happened at the beginning of the season too (and it happened when Subban started 0-5). Shortly after the Stone trade when the team was playing well, Fleury didn’t have to do much to look good.

Then he takes a long break, comes back when the team is coasting and suddenly has to deal with the Coyotes getting one great scoring opportunity after another and putting up 41 shots.

Here's what you gotta do. Locate the switch in question. When you find it, grab a mallet or warhammer of some kind. Smash the switch as hard as you can and you'll go into "super on mode" TM
