SCF Game 1: Florida Panthers Vs Vegas Golden Knights | 8:00PM ET 5:00PM PT| TNT, TBS, TRUTV, CBC, SN, TVAS

[SherVaughn30]

Huge game 1 win for Vegas

Meh. Vegas won Game 1 in 2018.

 

[notbias]

Many series losers win the first game. Goal is usually to split the first two road games anyways.

25% of the game 1 losers in the finals apparently lose.

 

[Drakon]

Call on the ice had to stand, video was never going to overturn that one... too close to call. Not at all definitive

Plus if the rule is that it's his height when standing normally, trying to superimpose a standing Stone onto the picture sounds like it's way beyond the NHL's capabilities. They barely have HD half the time.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Yeah refs can do no wrong guys!

Of course refs can do wrong.

This isn’t about refs “doing wrong”. This is about people locking themselves in echo chambers where the reffing is always “worse than ever” and the game is fixed because apparently these totally unbiased fans don’t agree with the calls.

 

[ViD]

Bob with a soft goal

Tkachuk with a terrible game

Hopefully there is no suspension

Florida came back from the way worse situation

On to the next game

 

[HanSolo]

And got the time he deserved…

Right. So what are you asking me about exactly?

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Did you miss the slash that broke his stick or Tkachuk rushing to Stone well after the play was over or Gudas crosschecking everyone after the whistle. Florida was a goon squad tonight.

Yeah I did because TNT showed none of that because no one thought there was anything there lol

 

[ViD]

Meh. Vegas won Game 1 in 2018.

This

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

If it was above the shoulder, we’re talking like an inch. Tell me what still or moving image you saw that conclusively shows that.

There was a view from the opposite side of the rink that was a pretty good angle imo. They showed it on the broadcast.

I doubt he gets suspended. It was stupid shit that led to a late game misconduct but it wasn't inherently dangerous.

Yes, but the Capitals were extremely obviously the better team in that first game.

 

[Straight Fire]

This could EASILY be a 7 game slugfest with plenty of OTs. To be honest I thought the Panthers did better than expected considering their long time off. On the flip side Vegas was consistently strong in this one. Good start to the SCF so far!

 

[TMLeafer]

I'm confused - non biased guy - but I don't understand how 2 Panthers that are top line guys got 10 minutes out of that scrum?? Way to cut off any comeback refs..

Bennet punched Petrangleo while Staal had him in a headlock. It's usual behaviour for him except they actually decided to call it this time. Seems to be the go to move for the team.

I think it was too close for the panthers to start that shit. They could have had Vegas on their heels for the last 4 minutes and the goalie pulled down 2 goals.

 

[metalan2]

They showed an angle on HNIC, it is a good call to let it go. Depending on the angle you get depends how you see it, but it was the right call, quick and bad challenge.

He full extended his stick slightly leaning over. It might have been 9-10ft high lol. Utterly absurd.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Can't wait for two days of the refs won this one.

Refs weren't good but it wasn't the calls that decided this one. Florida with an uncharacteristic off-game, not sharp. Good game. Hopefully the Cats take game 2.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Sorry we got told no one would watch.....

Now it seems to be sorted out. Did you finally activate warp speed?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Panthers have too many unlikesbke players

Beat those f***ers in 4 Vega$

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

There was a view from the opposite side of the rink that was a pretty good angle imo. They showed it on the broadcast.

Yeah I saw that.

There was absolutely zero way to say his stick was above shoulder from that angle. It’s a shot 180 feet from the play with like 3x zoom. You’re not proving anything that’s a matter of an inch or two from there. There’s too many factors optically .

 

[HanSolo]

I mean this is going to be Florida's worst period of the series, if you can take solace in that then good for you.

This aged well, eh?

 

[William H Bonney]

The amount of head punches Ekblad delivered while "checking" tonight was obscene. He could have been in the box all night. Florida is such an easy team to root against. As a Kings fan, I hate Vegas, but no thank you on this Florida team winning

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Knights gonna sweep these clowns. By midseason next year, the panthers will be drawing their customary 8,000.

I have no dog in this race and I can see that it was pretty blatantly one sided.

It was the most definitive high stick in NHL history.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Actually they weren't. Game 1 in that series was the only one Vegas was the better team. Game 2 was a coin flip & the Caps were dominant the rest of the way after Holtby saved the win in Game 2.
