Series Talk: [P1] Vegas Golden Knights vs. [WC1] Minnesota Wild | Series Tied 1-1

[hangman005]

We may get our mojo going, but special teams will stop it in its tracks. All your PP has to do is win the faceoff and let it rip.

All you have to do is remind our PP they were once coached by Steve Spott

Better than our special teams coach, which I'm quite positive is Nordy.

 

[KAWAIlllI]

Kap still looks injured and extremely rusty

That’s sad to hear :/

I've heard a few people call Spott an improvement on who they currently have... that shocks me.

Yes it sucks bad

 

[HanSolo]

I honestly don't agree. There's still a strong chance they don't even make it out of the first round. Plus LA needs that home ice advantage that they're not going to get in round 2.

They just have that aura about them. The getting hot at the right time kind of stuff. People like to meme about history repeating itself again, but Edmonton looks pretty rough heading into the playoffs.

This LA team getting momentum in the first round could be a tough out.

I know I'm one of them. I promise Rich Clune is worse than Spott ever was in Vegas. Imagine all the problems the VGK had on the Spott powerplay and amplify them by about 20% and throw in that Anaheim was much worse on PP faceoffs and zone entries.

Though I will say that the whole thing with a static powerplay that relies too much on guys at the point holding the puck too long waiting for a defender to bite and get out of position, I was having Vietnam flashbacks to Spott the entirety of this Ducks season.

I think of it in a similar fashion to when the Leafs finally won a playoff series. Could be a huge emotional letdown after beating the Oilers.

This shit actually triggers me. Take that back right now.

You guys shouldn't have brought Zeev into this and I wouldn't have had to go there

 

[Summer Rose]

You guys shouldn't have brought Zeev into this and I wouldn't have had to go there

To be fair, it was me who brought him into this and I'm not a Knights fan. I was just being silly and picked a random player I could think of off the top of my head.

Zeev spells lose as "loose" despite being corrected over 100 times.

 

[AKL]

Zeev spells lose as "loose" despite being corrected over 100 times.

Noah Hanifin just texted me back, he said, "Their over they're right now with there friends"

 

[AKL]

Zeev spells lose as "loose" despite being corrected over 100 times.

Also, this is because he never learned what losing was

Zeev tells everyone what happened in Vegas

In mn, we are too Minnesota nice to remember or talk about what we don't remember what happened in vegas.

 

[Nineteen67]

Can’t cheer for Canadian teams, GO VGK GO.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Toronto and Ottawa are at 86 pages lol.

 

[NHL1674]

Toronto and Ottawa are at 86 pages lol.

Well what else have they got to do up there to pass the time?

 

[DemidovSaveUs]

I think us wild fans should also start thinking about what round 2 and 3 matchups were most worried about.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Toronto and Ottawa are at 86 pages lol.

Was just thinking the same thing. So much salt. Can't wait for those folks to start screaming about calls and non-calls, should be hilarious reading if nothing else. Both of those teams are "everything that happens is a Bettman conspiracy".

Low key, but very effective, shot across the bow of the good ship Vegas.

 

[57special]

Rossi uses single ply toilet paper at home.

Mark Stone doesn't use toilet paper.

 

[AKL]

I know the parade is gonna go straight down Kellogg, but where does it go after that? Should I stake out a spot in Rice Park early or not is what I'm getting at

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Only time I'm cheering for the Wild to win a series also Fleury beating them would be lovely.
