GDT: Knights defeat Senators 5-4 in Canada's national capital this Saturday afternoon, Nov. 4th, 2017

Erik Karlsson's 1st goal of the year. LOL. First.

How did March miss that EN?

He's had a 3-point night. Give him a break.

Congrats, Max, on your first NHL win

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

A little too close.
Nice positivity Battleborn

 

[BattleBorn]

Tried to piss it away, but they pulled it out.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Damn those third periods.

Congrats to Max!

VGK really needed that one.

I've swung from positivity to negativity at least 10 times today.

 

[Bart9349]

Wow. Strong work. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Off to lunch.

 

[Nevada Jones]

He's had a 3-point night. Give him a break.

But he could have saved me so much stress!

Got to show some love for Karlsson, too. Played well.

William, yeah. A goal and an assist and leading all Knight forwards in ice time tonight (he and Reilly Smith the only two Vegas forwards on both the PP and PK).

When you win, there are many who've had a great game!

 

[Aurinko]

Got to show some love for Karlsson, too. Played well.

Karlsson is one of those defensive players that easily get overlooked.

It's easy to see him as too slow or inaccurate, but look again... those were some sweet supporting plays in the first goal!

 

[MJ65]

Yet another impressive guys - this team has a lot of character especially when playing with all their goalies out

Keep up the good work and all the best

VGK twitter bringing out the trolls with "1-0 in Canada" tweet.

I'm kind of tired of the schtick, but if it works, it works.

Hopefully he can still claim dominance next Wednesday.

That 1917-1918 Montreal Canadiens team picked in the dispersal draft (of ex-Quebec Bulldogs team players) star winger Joe Malone (who then led the NHL in scoring for the Habs) and a couple of great defensemen.

The Montreal team went a league-leading 10-4 at the start of the season and then had the worst record down the stretch. They lost their last three regular season games, the last one against Toronto 3-5.

If the Vegas Golden Knights beat Toronto on Monday, the team record will be 10-4.

And get vengeance 100 NHL seasons later! So, I predict the final score will be Vegas 5 Toronto 3.

 

[Nevada Jones]

It would be a strange but true hockey story.

 

[Bart9349]

Record from 1917-1918?

Geez. Let's not forget that 1917-18 were among the darkest moments of World War I when hundreds of thousands of young men (including Canadians and Americans, of course) were dying in the trenches of Europe.

So, any record from the years of WWI (1914-1918) is silly and distorted by the lack of available young men to play the game.

I have to wonder what healthy young men were actually able to play during those years.

Just finished watching the game... I wasn't going to get up early to watch it. Vegas looked good through two and a half and then took there their foot of the throat and let Ottawa get right back into it. Legace with some big saves and some weak goals, I'll be pleased when Fleury is back. Tuch was a beast, that first goal was brilliant. All in all a good effort but we can't let up against teams, were just not that good.

This team takes lemons and makes lemonade.

This team takes lemons and makes lemonade.

In Las Vegas, the saying is "this team takes lemons ... and makes a very fine margarita." And I'd much rather have a fine margarita.
