Not a whole lot of energy so far.

Nice snipe by Duhaime

That was a freaking laser. Wild needed that quick score.

Johansson makes it look so easy entering the offensive zone with the puck.

Agree. He’s been a great add.

That’s what I want to see from Klingberg on the PP! Great turnaround this period.

Surprised Vegas didn’t copy Colorado’s PK defense on Klingberg walking the line for a PP point shot… it’s usually a copycat league…

Dirty 30

That was ridiculous. Huge goal.

Loving the Dewey’s and Reavo 4th line

Ek’er’s, come on, what a pass! Great finish by Boldy!

You guys are welcome. When down 1-0 I swapped out my billy g “it’s all about winning” t shirt for the greef Tshirt and the tides have turned. This goalie is trash.

That line is playing with some serious grit!

Eichel has not had a good game.

Ooof, Pieterangelo ate some Steel shoulder there…

I gotta say, Steel is playing that gritty style that BG likes since getting back in the lineup. Didn’t think he had that in him.

Sob, could see that goal was going to happen with like a minute left…

Highly entertaining game tonight.

STONE HANDS NO MORE!

Digging a little deeper into the lineups for the SO this time lol

Good game. Embarrassing shootout for Hartman, Zuc and Boldy.

Freakin Vegas man. They are tough.

Zuccy looks like he’s just going through the motions out there ever since Kirill went out…

Entertaining game though…

Zucc needs a new shootout move.

The broken controller… Ha he’s done that his entire career and he’s one of the best all time. It does look terrible though – terrible for him when he doesn’t score and terrible for the goalie when he does.

The shootout can go away altogether. Of course the Wild have shootouts like half their games this year too

Gotta happen more than once to remove that nickname. Sure surprised the hell out of me!!
I think the reason he had to go back to the 5 hole is the goalie had the blocker side covered pretty well and JEEK has no chance to go top shelf.

Russian player influence might have hit a new level.

Matvei Michkov’s dad was just found dead in a pond, no clue how he got there but he had been missing for a couple days. Michkov is the Connor Bedard of Russia who should be the easy #2 in the draft but draft guys were speculating he would fall because he’s under contract 3 more years and just the Russia factor in general.

Olympic goalie Ivan Fedotov, Kaprizov’s old teammate, is still in a military service prison because he was leaving the CSKA Red Army team for the NHL last summer.

I thought it was because he had falsified military service documents.

Yeah that was technically the offense… from 5 years ago. Why do you think they waited until last summer to lock him up?

Here’s a statement from the team
