GDT: WCF Game #2 ★ Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights, 7:00 PM CT ★ NBCSN, SN ★ Stars lead 1-0

[Smelling Salt]

For God's sake someone get McNabb a body bag he's died twice this game

 

[Henderson33]

Oh god Sportsnet jumping on the "Reaves was a difference maker" trend

 

[LT]

“Reaves certainly had an impact”

I must’ve watched a different game.

 

[serp]

100%. Makes me wonder if they were worried about him getting shelled and it affecting his long term development or something.

I understand that but if you're really worried about that why have him backup at all ? A backup might have to play. If you think he's your best option to back Dobby up you have to be ready to play him.

NBC is nutz. Ryan Reaves had zero impact on this game. For proof that he did though ... .NBC just said hey one of his teammates scored a goal that he wasn't invovled in ... that's how he had an impact.

Dallas got beat by a better team tonight with a better effort, and Reaves had virtually no impact.

 

[Kcb12345]

Stars are gonna struggle against Lehner. Can just see it coming this series hes too big they wont get any weak ones

Yea I don’t know. It’s clear they value him right now more than Bow.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Oof, imagine risking your life to watch that game.

 

[The Tourist]

Reaves had zero impact on the game. Radulov is an idiot and needs to sit a game.

How many games in these playoffs has Dallas had more power plays than the other team?

 

[Rory]

Just bench Radulov for f***s sake

Give Robertson a chance next game

He had a bad game. Bench Seguin he has not had a good game in a long time. At least Rads can find the back of the net.

 

[Kipper 17]

Not going to watch the Reaves talk in the post game.

Be better next game. That was not good enough.

 

[serp]

Yea I don’t know. It’s clear they value him right now more than Bow.

He's clearly a better goaltender than Bow. Everybody knows that including the coaching staff . Hell he's better than a hobbled Bishop too. Dudes a former first rounder and coming off a good AHL season.

 

[Kcb12345]

Nvm

 

[BigG44]

No. 4th total.

 

[serp]

Damn that was Lehner's 4th straight shutout??

No . He lost games 5 and 6 against the Canucks. 4th in the playoffs

 

[Kcb12345]

No . He lost games 5 and 6 against the Canucks. 4th in the playoffs

Ah I see

 

[BrettHullsToe]

Oof, imagine risking your life to watch that game.

To be fair, the biggest risk was driving to and from the game - DFW traffic is way more lethal than Covid, especially to healthy, non-elderly adults.

 

[serp]

Isn't it like pretty warm in Dallas ? Idk outdoor watching party would make more sense to me than in the arena.

 

[Starsfansfromqc]

Seguin isn't able to take a good shot to the net anymore..

 

[Rory]

Seguin isn't able to take a good shot to the net anymore..

Yup that was a massive mistake of a contract. Best thing is trade him ASAP to get something

 

[kms10g]

Seguin has been such an underwhelming player this post season

 

[Kcb12345]

Well at least this happened

Love how its Klingberg too lmao like what. Not a huge hit and Reaves was in a weird spot but I still love to see it

Look at the impact Reaves has on this play, wow. Give this guy the Conn Smythe already

 

[Chuck Biscuits]

'99 called, wants that Game 1 back. I still say outside of a few plays, we were not THAT bad game 2. Bad? Yea, obviously. THAT bad? Nah..Screw Sweetums..

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

1 shot on 7 odd man rushes (according to NBC, and not even at end of game, might have been a few more)

These last two games certainly make me question if their offensive hot streak is over, it they are clutching the stick a bit, finally feeling the pressure because a few TV announcers finally said "Maybe they are good." or whatever. If so, we know their streaks tend to last a while.

Or, is it just natural that a good team would fight back, and thus, natural the Stars will fight back as they have before these playoffs?

Probably the latter, but in the end, I think the favored VGS team will win a long series.
