We are leading in shots!
And against the fucken Stanley cup champions!
So the shots are 8-0 for us in the 2nd period?
They play on that ice for 41 games yuck
Last bit of that PP it looked like our whole team was missing a skate blade
Slaf Newhook Anderson line complete a pass challenge impossible
Thank god the 2nd line has been broken up. Hopefully it’s not just because of the recent PP
On est tellement prévisible qu’on dirait que notre ancien coach est de l’autre bord
Quoting Dany Dubé so don’t blame me if it goes wrong: “Approaching the mid-point of the period, *no* shots on goal for Vegas this period. *None*.”
Anderson speed came in handy there.
Why can’t Craig Button finish a sentence?
Definitely still in this one. If we can win it in regulation, I’ll become a believer.
God I wish Bell ad switch after Halloween, tired of the clown laughter
RHP is cursed, man.
Shots 2nd period: 9-0 HABS
Obliged to watch the VGK broadcast tonight, and it’s refreshingly neutral for a US feed. They also had a really great high angle shot for the beginning of the powerplay they stuck with for about a minute. Really great look at the movement on the PP.
I love this team
how did that not go in
helll of a shift there boys. make em pay
I love RHP
Wait….another powerplay?!? Send him the money man!!!
looked like the vegas goalie thought it was in for a sec😭
We’re really seeing playoff Suzuki tonight and it’s a treat. Every time he gets a touch we get a scoring chance.
Good job RHP
Can’t quite put a finger on it, but I’m craving a bowl of Shreddies™.
RHP is so fucking good
More PP! Yay!
I will cream myself if we score on the PP and hold them to 0 shots on the period. Would be karmic justice for that doodoo first goal
RHP is the best example that you can play well without scoring. The way he’s playing you know it’s coming soon. I would like to see that same fire in slaf’s game as well
One of these days the drop pass is going to cause a goal against.
That was a pretty good shift from Slaf
That was Slaf’s longest possession of the year so far
attack the middle slaf
Slaf shoot on goal challenge
Slaf needs to watch AK27’s DVDs and highlights. He needs to learn how to make that trademark move and take shots from the circle.
does wifi have his suspenders undone?? just ready to destroy?!
Crank it, Xhekaj
Can we please have one power play unit with two defence on the point. Just make the other teams penalty killers think a little bit please
I’m just gonn say it. The PP1 looked better without Matheson. Give Barron a chance in that spot.
slaf looking scared to shoot
