SCF Game 2: Washington Capitals @ Vegas Golden Knights | 8 PM ET | CBC, SN, TVAS, NBCSN

[ZJuice]

I’m excited for more hockey.
Please let this go to 7 games to delay my summertime sadness at least a week

They brought it out once during the game. Let's not exaggerate. I was there, I saw what happened.

The ice lasted maybe 10 minutes of every period before it had to be repaired. In the third I don't think it made it to seven minutes.

But please, don't look behind the curtain. I've seen lacrosse balls bounce less than the puck in game one.

But I got to see that awesome pregame so in my mind it's a wash.

Should be more of a defensive affair, a little at least.

 

[sandysan]

I have a feeling Washington gets the bounces today- 4-2 Caps.

One thing is for sure one of them is gonna get the bounces.

 

[sandysan]

Yea, was just exaggerating. Tbf though the ice was bad and I've never seen an extinguisher out to repair it to begin with.

It's compressed co2 it's the fastest way to refreeze the ice and has been used in probably every NHL arena at one point or another, most often near the boards.

If the guy who is responsible for the ice ( which looked terrible to me) is ok with it, it seems he's ok with crappy ice.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

I call 3-1 Vegas.

 

[HanSolo]

Should be more of a defensive affair, a little at least.

All the players in the Golden Knights locker room today talked about how they have to be way better. I expect more out of them defensively for sure. First period could be something of a stalemate.

 

[HanSolo]

Well I should've left my house earlier. The freeway on the way to the strip practically isn't moving. People trying to make it to TMA before they cap off the crowd size.

 

[Lshap]

Then don't play the damn game in June!

If they played it in May would the outdoor rinks in Vegas still be open?

 

[Peggy]

you gotta be a close minded fool to not say anything about that cross check that lead to a goal

how is something like that allowed?

remember when connor tapped subban with a cross check and subban dived and was called?

but Reaves nails him in the back and it leads directly to a goal

and I don't wanna hear "well it's been for the other side too"
no it hasn't. not like this. not these primary examples

Of course. The concrete ones. But those are the only outdoor rinks we have.

I think pretty much everyone has said it was an illegal play that wasn't called. Welcome to the game 2 thread.

 

[sandysan]

It's Vegas so need a line on that.

over/under 1.5 fire extinguisher appearances, you got the over or under?

Over

"f*** this league" Backstrom angry in the locker room after losing on May 3rd.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

There was a time I'd be fine with this. Then Caps fans on HFB happened.

Every fanbase has their assholes. Best of luck tonight.

 

[Porkleaker]

Another Vegas win tonight, they'll lose game 3 and then win 4 and 5

 

[IceNeophyte]

Every fanbase has their *******s. Best of luck tonight.

As I replied to a similar response above, it's a fair point and I am overreacting.

 

[jj cale]

Ovechkin shows up tonight, caps take game 2.

 

[Lawd Stanley]

"**** this league" Backstrom angry in the locker room after losing on May 3rd.

Yea May 3rd. He was pissed at Wilson’s suspension and the loss. Hope he bounces back and wins again.

 

[ChanceVegas]

 

[IceNeophyte]

Ovechkin shows up tonight, caps take game 2.

It's about time. He's taken 3 games off against the Golden Knights so far...

 

[JuniorNelson]

Second game of a sweep.

 

[ReggieDunlop8766]

Lets go Caps. Willy's gonna destroy another guy tonight. Keep that head up.

Not a punch was thrown in that fight but it’s cute.

4-1 Vegas
