No Jack unfortunately (pain), but at least we know he’s close!
Go into Buffalo and beat the ever living dogshit out of that lame duck franchise.
Real talk…… Who we getting before the trade deadline?? Guetzel??
Coke head kutz. This is vegas bro. /s that was the deadline question.
sabres fans are insufferable (see their sub)
On the way to the game right now… I’ll be in 327!!!!!
Can we put forth 60 minutes of effort tonight? Let’s find out together.
Fucking Oilers just took over 2nd place in the Pacific because the Kraken couldn’t stop them.
It sucks that Eichel’s still out. Hoping for a much-needed Knights’ victory tonight.
Listen, idk who these commentators are but the fact that they just compared Marchessault to Gretsky is a good way to warm me up to them pretty early on.
Alright. Let’s fucking do this. Gotta get some more points on this road trip.
# GO KNIGHTS GO
# RECKLESS FUCKING OPTIMISM
hopefully we don’t need reckless optimism but we have it if we need it
One nice thing about it being on ESPN- Dave won’t be able to jinx the team
Im pissed cant watch the game powers out where im at in vegas
Mother fucker
Oh my fucking god…
What a fucking inexcusable turnover, and goal, to give up…
Cmon man
Make sure that’s their only one.
These fucking turnovers man. So sick of this shit.
Same fucking bullshit
Come the fuck on Thompson.
Hopefully that was the alarm clock to wake everyone up. Come on boys, shake it off and get it back!
This cannot happen again tonight! Get it together please 🙏🏻
Based on everyone’s reactions we got scored on how bad was it
I did not stay up past my bed time for this. Let’s get our shit together.
i bet we are down 0-3 again after the first
My bestie and her kid are at the game tonight rooting for both teams lmao. To quote her: “The Sabres are only gonna make the playoffs if twelve other teams disappear into the Bermuda Triangle.” 🤣 I’m not worried.
It’d be cute if we defended. Like, real lovely.
Yeah Thompson looks like he’s awake now. Love you, LT, but that goal was not it.
Do you guys get the view of the ice from above in dead silence or it’s a gift we’re given by NHL.tv?
this is my cat’s first time seeing the boys on TV before like 8:30 PM (long story but she used to be only allowed out at night) and THE BOYS ARE DISAPPOINTING HER
It is quite sad how bad this team has been playing lately
Getting out worked by the Sabres. Kay.
If Morelli, Amadio or Pietrangelo score tonight I will make pizza from scratch tomorrow. Mamma mia.
Alright. It’s still early in the game. Hoping my Conny Marchy shirt and lucky 🍀 St Patrick’s Day pants will see us win today!
It really feels like that the only way this team gets points lately is if the other team just takes a night off. But if the other team is on their game, then Vegas crumbles.
