The way Hill has played coming into the playoffs sounds like we're throwing in the towel, especially if Karlsson doesn't play at they go with Mantha over Dorofeyev.

This move is really confusing to me. Hill never had to face the barrage last postseason that Thompson has been facing. Thompson was stopping tons of tough shots, this just seems risky to throw Hill in there and if he's even remotely not sharp some of these saves you were getting now might be goals

with pdb's rep for not making adjustments, this could be bad for dallas.

Save for swapping Wyatt and Pavs, they've played practically the same style with the same lines all year and it has worked really well - including the last 2 games. Not sure why PDB should adjust to morning skate lines for Vegas.

If anything, the zone exit adjustment the Stars/PDB made going into Game 3 is probably the only reason this game is happening tonight.

Maybe he's hoping the team will show up for Hill. It's probably anecdotal, but I have noticed going back to the 22 season, just how often the team leaves Thompson high and dry. As I said after game 3, this team has wasted so many excellent LT performances and that wasn't even the worst example of it.

Now do one for @Zirakzigil and @forsbergavs32

Decline

 

[Summer Rose]

Decline

Elegant and graceful is @forsbergavs32
May his kindness last eight thousand years
@Zirakzigil is a stone lush with moss
The river flows through the southern lands
May these gentlemen gather many flowers
How many fall when autumn arrives?
For this is what makes them most lovesick.

Swapping around goalies didn't work for the Wild last year, let's see how it plays out this year for Vegas against us.

3-2 win for Dallas in OT. Wyatt Johnston scores yet again.

 

[eartotheground]

we got stars' lines yet?

Ugh, that series will piss me off forever.

The ref not blowing the whistle when Bishop was down in Game 6

 

[VivaLasVegas]

I would suggest that there is a very good chance of the Knights making it to the game in Dallas this evening, assuming no air traffic congestion between Palm Springs and Dallas Love Field.

Benn not curling that wraparound in Game 7......think they scored the winner something like three minutes later.

EDIT: Just went back and watched it again, how cool would it have been if Parayko just wristed it into his own net. Came pretty close, too.

hoping for a really close game that ends up in the 5OT

save the 5 OT games for the weekend, please.

oh you can have them on the weekend too, i hope it goes to game 7 with all 3-5OT periods

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Dallas has to win tonight if you ask me. They were good in these spots in the regular season and always made it 3 wins in a row after dropping a couple. If Vegas turns the tables here it puts the Stars in an uncomfortable position.

And I think they should. Although, the Stars amazingly haven't beaten Vegas in regulation in their own barn for 10 straight games and they've lost the last 5. You never know how much those things come to play.

But yeah, I'm kinda picturing a close win tonight, Vegas avoiding elimination at home and then a dramatic game 7.

If we go 82 OTs we might still be playing by the weekend

 

[PanniniClaus]

So Lian Bischel sent to Texas. One would think it will be tempting to bring him up if he looks at all decent in the AHL.

I keep marveling at Dallas playing 5 d and giving Nils 1 to 2 minutes in the first and then he watches for the night.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

with pdb's rep for not making adjustments, this could be bad for dallas.

And yet, he made adjustments to win games 3 and 4. That included going back to the season long line combos that worked well after switching them up to unsuccessfully counter Vegas.

It seems going back to combos where players are familiar with each other worked for Dallas. I don't believe (but we will find out) that switching lines wholesale will work for Vegas.

Cassidy's smarter move was to change goalies. We all know Dallas gets creamed by backup goalies, like games 1 and 2. That made Thompson the starter, and then we beat him after that. Now, we are playing the backup again, who will most likely pitch a great game, sadly.

 

[Vegas07]

Will Stone and Karlsson contribute anything in this series? Only thing Stone has done is give the Knights more haters.

Bad news for Dallas. Hill > Thompson.
