Bishop better get in the hyperbaric chamber and start eating Senzu beans because Khudobin looks really good right now after dealing with Demko.

 

[Nighthock]

Here we go!

Eh...I thought Khudobin started to cool off as the series went on. My concern is matching up with Dallas' size. They play tough physical hockey.

 

[VegasKnightlife]

Dallas is tough. Good defensively and can score. Should be a close series. Hopefully VGK pull it out.

Yeah that's what I meant, but I worded it badly. The Knights will be thrilled to see Khudobin in there.

I just have 2 things to say.

1. Why couldn't there be a little bit more of a break. Both wanted to give the guys some amounts of rest and i am sure they wanted (me included) more time just to enjoy the round 2 win.
2. Sucks that this game is on at 5 p.m. I usually record these games, but i will be working at that time and it will be quite impossible to avoid hearing the score cause my coworkes just won't stay quiet about the game. lol

The players want the schedule as compacted as possible to get out of the bubble ASAP. Pretty much all CF/SCF games are 5PM starts save for the odd weekend matinee.

Just thinking about it, we Knight fans have been extremely blessed.

1 scf and 2 wcf in our first 3 years as a team.

That is something that a lot of teams would have loved when they first started.

Nope.

Sunday Game 1, 5pm NBC - announced

DVR showing:

Game 2 Tuesday, 5pm NBCSN
Game 3 Thursday, 5pm NBCSN

Speculation:
Game 4 Saturday 9/12? Looks like NBC
Game 5 Monday 9/14? (If needed)
Game 6 Wednesday 9/16? (If needed)
Game 7 Friday 9/18? (If needed)

 

[LadyStanley]

Reaves out for game 1

 

[Super Cake]

Edit: Beat me by a second Lady Stanley. lol

And nothing of value was lost.

 

[hangman005]

Can we appeal that it wasn’t long enough double or nothing

 

[LadyStanley]

Can we appeal that it wasn’t long enough double or nothing

Technically yes, but usually takes 2-3 days to schedule and arrange.
(First appeal to commissioner. 2nd appeal to arbitrator.) Most appeals are for 6+ games.

Reaves may not be worth much, but he's more valuable than Cousins has been. Really don't see what they see in Cousins, he's like a slightly smaller Ryan Carpenter.

Couldn't agree more. Nosek shouldn't have sat in favor of him.

 

[theslatcher]

The real question is if Pete will still start the 4th line without Reavo.

 

[VEGASKING]

Depends. Will they be able to win a face off in this series? That negated the entire point of starting that line.

 

[theslatcher]

Thankfully Dallas, while their C's are good on the dot, are not champs of it like Vancouver.

 

[LadyStanley]

Schedule deets.

And nothing of value was lost.

Against a team like the Canucks. Stars are a physical team and Reaves has much to offer against them. Benn injured one opposing player at the beginning of each of the two previius rounds.

And Benn will take runs regardless of Reaves. Prevention is a myth

 

[LadyStanley]

Paywall. I would blame game 1 loss on lack of offense, not defense.
