Pre-Game Talk: Edmonton vs Vegas

[Paralyzer]

My god, does Vegas even deserve to have a hockey team? Their GDT threads look so depressing LOL. 13 posts the whole game...

Brady Tkachuk exists

He looks like Mutant Tweety Bird.

You know they're gonna give Skinner a shot at some point, if only to see what we get in case he has to jump in due to injury. You saw that nastiness with Stolarz, anything can happen.

So I guess Game Two has the lightest exposure, in their barn, with home ice advantage already stolen win or lose.

I'd give him the first period as a show-me, we know we can come back on Vegas and we know they're gonna come out with a lot to prove. Sink or swim.

Bruce Cassidy, is that you? Nice try but we're starting Pickard.

Royal pizza full loaf same cost tons of meat comes with salad same cost as Subway way better , highly recommend

Yup, even with inflation hitting local restaurants, their prices have gone up, but seemingly not as much as the fast food chains which seem to be milking it a bit.

For sure. I actually eat at Royal Pizza more due to their prices being the same as McDonalds or Wendy's at times. Lunch Special Steak Sandwich on Garlic Toast and choice of Fries or Spaghetti and Meat Sauce for $16.95? That's a good meal!

Imagine if Ekholm joins this squad.

The blueline would be ridiculous.

 

[oobga]

Imagine if Ekholm joins this squad.

Ekholm-Bouch
Kulak-Nurse
Klingberg-Walman

Best D we would ice in the McDrai era by a good margin.

Where would this D rank among all 32 teams? Top 5, surely

I'm not convinced that many Golden Knights fans truly exist. Almost all of their fan base fits into one of these three camps IMO:

- Local Vegas crowd that like the lights and the cool intro and the fact that the team is good, but don't really understand or care. Something fun to go to, Knights have always been good, known as a fun evening out.

- Casino/Hotel guests that get comped tickets and are handed a jersey

- Bandwagoners - children that hopped on the wagon of the cool new team that went to the final and intellectually deficient 30+ year olds that did the same (as an aside, I think the adults that hopped on the expansion team bandwagon are pathetic).

The number of folks that care enough to participate in message boards and follow the day to day of the team in all respects is probably very low.

It's magnified on a site like this one that is more underground and mostly populated with older hockey fans.

VGK fans exist but they're all driven to the same 2-3 social media sites that dominate the rest of the internet because their franchise didn't exist until after the web traffic was already being disproportionately funneled there.

Haha no, but I know our staff, they’re gonna weasel him back in there at some point, would be idea that it’s done with the least potential damage.

I do agree, gotta beat these guys when they’re down, I’d prefer to go Pickard the rest of the way.

 

[russ99]

Why does their arena remind of Medieval Times? lol

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

I mean I can see it

John Klingberg: “For sure, the way I move on the ice right now. I feel very comfortable with my new hips and all that. I feel like it’s just getting better and better.”

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Mark Stone and Jack Eichel.


yuck.

I liked your original post better

 

[TB12]

I liked your original post better

Little jarred the other night on a golf trip in Phoenix and might have been a little aggressive haha

I want a Edmonton game!

Every night!

The most entertainedou team of the NHL!

 

[Little Fury]

They gotta split of 97/29 at home, it just ain't working.

Pleasantly surprised by 91-93-18 but I do not care for 21-19-23. Not sure what to do there, do you drop Drai down and elevate Brown or Arvidsson? Bring in J. Skinner?

I expect them to run it back, but they were very fortunate to get out of Vegas not tied up and i think they need a reset.

 

[Fishy McScales]

I feel bad for Jeff Skinner but it would be kind of funny if he retired with 1000+ regular-season games, 1 playoff game and 1 Stanley Cup.

Make it so.

 

[soothsayer]

Imagine if Ekholm joins this squad.

Sounds like mid-round 3 at the earliest. If the Oilers can hang on till his return...

I used to watch pawn stars and they were pretty high on the knights.

No suspension for Roy, lmao
