Dallas Stars defeat the Vegas Golden Knights, 4-3

[Frankie Blueberries]

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

Says the guy with a Jim Benning avatar lol

Haven't seen this forum so united since Vancouver/Boston.

United boston and new york on a level not seen since 9/11

Ecstatic I don’t have to watch Stone’s face like he’s trying to shit a sideways pineapple anymore these playoffs. Don’t think there’s a bigger drama queen in the entire league, make no wonder nobody can tell when he’s really hurt, when it’s just a ‘micro-fracture’ or when he’s completely faking it.

f***ing right!! Way to go Dallas! How does it feel, Vegas? To cheat so you can stack your team only to lose in the first round anyway. Enjoy being saddled with all those players now.

Pretty much this is it for cheaters. Aging Pietrangelo and Stone. Not sure about Marchessault resigning. Declining asset Hertl (6.75 million cap hit is still too much for him). Who knows Calgary could hit a jackpot in 2026 when they really stink.

Sending hate, from New Jersey <3

Im just glad we don’t have to see Stone’s stupid and over dramatic goal celebrations anymore.

That choke job by Adin Hill at the last game of the season cost Vegas. You could have went through the Pacific where they would be the heavy favourites to win but instead had to go through the Central immediately where they were the underdogs.

At least now they have to sort their cap out for next season. I don’t think the NHL is going to allow a third consecutive spleen injury to Stone for a regular season LTIR

Guess Vegas has lots of exspleening to do.

Goodjob Vegas

EL OH EL

Highly likely Marchassault and Stephenson are gone this summer. There’s no way Vegas can afford to sign both especially after the Hanifin signing.

Dallas hockey and basketball advance

 

[Mobiandi]

I think if Vegas pulled this out, they would have eliminated the Avs in 6. That said, they looked well below their usual standard versus Dallas. Gonna be a tough summer for their front office. They've painted themselves into a corner with all their cap maneuvers

 

[CanadienShark]

Yes. Good. Eat shit, Stone.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Series put on LTIR.

Yeah, but I bet one of the two teams suddenly returns in the next round. LTIR my ass.

 

[BonMorrison]

Has @Pavel Buchnevich advised yet?

 

[AvroArrow]

Lmfao cap circumvention and still lost

 

[Kupo]

People need to stop blaming Vegas for how they’ve utilized LTIR.

It’s beyond foolish. Tampa did it to. Rangers as well once Chytil is activated. If you have an issue, blame the league, not the teams that operate within the rules.

Happy to see Dallas advance. If there’s 1 team I’d like to see win the cup other than my Rangers, it’s the Stars.

I hope the spleen is proud of itself

 

[GreeningOil]

F U Vegas. I hope you can’t trade some players and have to eat first round picks for being too far over the cap

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Wyatt Johnston early favourite for the Conn Smythe. Leads the team with 7pts while playing on the 3rd line. He should be on the Stars #1 PP unit, he’s just too good.

Based on what? Their season play against them? The Jets dominated the Avs even more during the regular season, ask them how that worked out for them.

Congrats to Dallas. Well played series. Happy for my man Miro Heiskanen.

Good job Dallas, you beat the cheaters <3
