Dallas Stars defeat the Vegas Golden Knights, 4-3

[MPGA]

Why didn’t the golden refs simply add even more players at the deadline? Are they stupid???

 

[pomx]

$17M over the cap and couldn’t get past round one. Embarrassing

 

[PanniniClaus]

Vegas, Mantha move was a dud. Good luck with the Hertl contract, he looked really slow out there. Stephenson and Karlson were no shows. Got some work to do.

Pretty sure Karlssons been playing injured, and while he wasn't scoring he was still doing things in other areas and trying which is more than most his team mates sadly.

Losers, Teetime Is Ready

So they created their own course with the first tee shot being out the locker room door

Well as a person who lives in Vegas and has to deal with a largely ignorant and insufferable fanbase, I am thrilled.

To those around here who don’t fit that mold, sorry for your loss.

Also, really happy that horrific penalty on otter didn’t decide the game in any meaningful way

Definitely don't mind seeing a team that gets greasy to load up going out in the first round. Vegas' fall from grace is going to be swift with all the futures they've given up. Might not happen next season, but its going to happen soon.

We're probably going to hang around the bubble for a good long while but not be quite bad enough to start stockpiling high picks. Gonna be a painful middling period I expect. Don't really see how the McGMs can get this team back to cup contention.

Stone is broken, Pietrangelo will be 35 next year, Martinez is probably gone, Marchessault is probably gone, Hague and Whitecloud look like they've declined. At least these guys got the city one and they can individually hang their hat on that, but yeah, it's going to be rough sledding for a good long while. They have to actually start focusing on drafting and development.

Yes! Go eat a bag of shit Vegas!

Those deadline acquisitions back fired on Kelly McCrimmon. Maybe next years deadline they acquire Mitch Marner.

Hell of an accomplishment to have such a young franchise achieve the success they have had. Not sure how it unfolds for them over the next couple years but they got it done, no matter what other fanbases say and part of their rage is flat out jealousy of a management team willing to do what it takes. I don’t like it personally but so what, they’ve done great things.

This was the 1vs8 matchup….

I know.....but in reality these are likely the 2 best teams in the West with apologies to the Avs....

Yeah if that's the price of going all in, hard to be too upset. Some teams haven't won their first after decades. Others haven't come close in decades from their last win.

This is the best scenario for NHL. they get dont have to deal with Vegas shenanigans by them advancing but profit from having a 7game series (TV revenue)

Very happy for Dallas.

 

[TruBlueFan1970]

Favorite thread ever. Glad Dallas booted the Vegas LTIR Knights.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Good series Dallas and good luck moving forward!

 

[MessierII]

good

So relieved that Vegas isn’t repeating. If Vegas repeat this year, this board would explode. Imagine an organization winning 2 cups in just 7 years of existence.
