Sea-Avs 2:1. Interesting

5 minutes before we remember there is a game on.

Game 1 recap so far....

 

[Bart9349]

Geez. Feeble power play

That would have qualified as a garbage effort for a regular season game 1. They came out ass cheeks clenched playing so scared to lose.

Preseason even....

 

[CupInSIX]

On the plus side, they can't get any worse.

Should probably swap in Dorofeyev, Blueger and Cotter for next game.

 

[IceNeophyte]

That might be the most uninspired VGK playoff game ever.

But then who would dump the puck in and sit on the bench?

God forbid someone attempt to get the puck to the middle of the ice or I don't know, SHOOT?

 

[hangman005]

On one hand that was probably Vegas most consistant effort through 60 minutes this season.... on the other hand the effort was zero.

 

[WhataKnight]

Is it sacrilege to say “scratch Stone” a little longer?

 

[The Duck Knight]

That isn't the solution unless you think what he has is contagious. Stone is going to be better than anyone they can replace him with. Everyone was hot trash tonight. That was just a lifeless game top to bottom so I wouldn't single anyone out because every last one of the Knights has to be better than that.

The only positive is if we play like this every game we'll be put out of our misery quickly.

Dump and chase is just not our game.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Disappointing, but kinda not surprising.

Need a big bounce game 2.

Go! Go!

Let's get it started the right way!

Nope.

But all four home teams lost this night, so that makes me feel better...not.

Even a small bounce would double the effort we showed.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Is Blueger injured or just not good enough?

 

[azvgk]

Not injured.

I think they need to put Dorofeyev in tomorrow night, too

Wonder if there is any consideration to not playing Stone. I'll certainly give him abreak, man just had two big surgeries, but he did little yesterday, his return instead of giving them a lift seemed to disrupt the chemistry.

We lost only 4 games since the All Star break without him, unless it was just rust we might be better off without him now.

 

[hangman005]

Stone wasn't great last game but he wasn't any more determental than anyone else... Eichel on the other hand.

What the team really needs is for Stone to get back to game speed, and he can't do that from the suites. Even if it means sacrificing another game, the goal is a Stanley Cup, and I don't think the team has a chance to get there without 100% Stone.

What they needed, and will need tonight, is for the rest of the team to step up their game to protect the scoreboard while he gets his instincts back.
