  10. Who had firing Bruce with 7 games left in the season and not losing another game on their bingo card?

  11. #PACIFIC DIVISION PILLOW FIGHT CHAMPIONS!!!!

    AND BACK TO BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!!

    VINTAGE SMITTY!!!!

    THEO!!!!!

    MITCH!!!!!!

    ON TO UTAH!!!!

    #GO KNIGHTS GO!!

  14. 5x Pacific Division Champs

    2x WCF Champs

    2023 Stanley Cup Championship

    VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

    IT HURTS TO WIN

  16. Props to the kraken they played a great game in a tough situation, much closer than the end scoreboard shows.

    Pacific division champs! Who would’ve thought after all that adversity?

  18. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! DIVISION CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!! LETS GO GET THE CUP!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. They don’t quit. Playing hard during the stretch. Congrats to VGK. I’m very happy

  20. Verdict
    Vegas won because R. Smith’s 2G 1A night drove a third-period shutdown, and C. Hart conceded fewer goals than league-average on 23 shots to seal a 4–1 result.

  23. GO KNIGHTS GO!!! What a 3rd period. Emphatic way to end the season and continue the hot streak!

    If you told me back in 2017 that 9 years later we would be 5x division champs with 8 playoff appearances, 2 Stanley Cup Finals appearances, and a ring – I would have asked you where you got your drugs from.

    Love this team. Love this franchise. Let’s go on a fuckin run boys bring on the furry Mormon elephants

  24. third period was absolutely wild, reilly smith decided he wanted to be the hero tonight i guess

    eichel with 2 assists too, that line chemistry is getting scary good. marner’s tip-in was beautiful but smith stealing the show with that back to back scoring was just chef’s kiss

    kraken looked decent in first two periods but we really turned it on when it mattered

  25. great game! reilly with a two goal night, hart coming up big, 8 game point streak, and another pacific division win!

    hoping hertl has more luck on his side and gets going against utah, so many chances recently

  28. Torts undefeated in reg going into the playoffs. The team looks different and plays different, regardless of the opponents they’ve been playing. They used to suck regardless of if the team was bad or not, hell, sometimes they played worse against “bad teams” under cassidy this year.

    Imagine saying we would win the division 3 weeks ago lol. Excited to see how they match up against the Mammoth, will be a tough series for sure.

  32. Everything feels lighter for the players. Of course I have no idea whats happening behind the scenes but they look more confident.

  33. I watched all the games this year in person or tv. And i was stuck on we dont deserve the playoffs. Then Butch out, Torts in, wow! what a difference and confidence boost.

    Tonight seemed like a slow play, limit energy. Then they sped up a bit in the 2nd and the 3rd the played full speed and showed dominance.

    Lauzon reduced his his time in the box, and shooting at least 2 times a game now?!?!

    Sissons adding physical play and fighting to his line.

    Hill upped some of his game to compliment hart. But Hart is making his statements to be #1 for rest of this season and next season.

    Stone is being fast! Marner being all around player. Just happy to see this turn around and hopefully it leads to some bling bling! See ya Sunday! I hope to get game 2 tickets. Have a great (k)night everyone
