  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

/ / PREGAME QUOTES

- Jon Cooper: "We’re like a yo-yo right now. Good game, tough one, good game, tough one. Listen, I’m not taking anything from that team. They’re going to be a lot to handle. Hockey in Utah is here to stay. The environment was exceptional. ... And they’re going to be an exciting team in the years ahead."

"The tough part is we didn't play near well enough in front of (Halverson), and you're playing a hungry team that's trying to battle for a playoff spot. So if you're not going to match that intensity, you’ve got no chance."

- Brayden Point: "They're a really talented team, they have a lot of speed, and I think they were just faster than us tonight. They won a lot of pucks, they made a lot of plays kind of around us, and our structure wasn't good enough to kind of compete with their skill level."

Let's Go Bolts!
 
I'm not loving the top 6 lines. Kuch and Hagel are our biggest creators of offense and they're on the same line.
 
How many times will Girgensons head bounce off the ice tonight?

Those lines aren't winning a thing. Seriously. That's ugly AF. Wow. Hope to eat some crow later but Vegas looks good last night. Maybe Detroit tired them out. Maybe.
 
I feel bad for Chaffee. Fella has worked his ass off all year and he's getting scratched now. Not saying I've never been frustrated with him but he is at least sometimes productive
 
Did I mention to you guys that I met one of the front office guys for the Golden Knights in Vancouver and he had their Stanley Cup ring on him? I got a picture with the ring. Its f***ing huge.
