[bustamente]

Stone celebrating like he scored the deciding SC game 7 goal, he really is unlikeable.

Good night, all! These late starts are tough. Too bad cap circumvention is awarded - an easy loophole to close...

Gary Bettman wants to grow the game remember!

 

[Hobble]

Did Bowness bench rhe top line?

No - Lowry's been out there plenty.

 

[GNP]

Gotta get Ehlers back in for games 3 & 4 -- it's critical, if we're going to knock these guys off.

 

[Channelcat]

This is classic Knights. Keeping us outside.

 

[DharmaBum]

TIme to goon it up

Dude's back after a long injury. Don't be salty.

 

[HighFlyingJets]

Just remember guys, Hellebuyck loves Afternoon games. Hopefully he lives up to it! Oh and the 1st line shows up perhaps!?

 

[sipowicz]

You can tell the league told them Vegas needs to win this one. There was a bunch of questionable calls and "fortunate" timing on Vegas PPs today.

NHL knows a losing team in Las Vegas will be Arizona all over again!

 

[Gabe Kupari]

It's not cap circumvention in the playoffs as there is no cap. These guys aren't paid for this.

But regardless Vegas took over in the 2nd. Jets happy to get a well earned split.

But conveniently back in time for the playoffs ……

 

[jetsv2]

Gutless, no pushback at all. Too many heartless passengers on this team.

 

[snowkiddin]

Dude's back after a long injury. Don't be salty.

Meh. Considering the blatant cap circumvention, I think some salt is allowed.

 

[sipowicz]

I'm amazed the refs put the whistles away.

Their job was done with a 2 goal Vegas lead

He’s got a face that his own mother won’t kiss

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Expected Vegas to bounce back.

Jets played well enough to win
Anyone criticizing tonight is drunk and obviously had unreasonable expectations

 

[Do or Die]

Lost so many puck battles....

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Shiiit WTF happens after the 1st period
It’s like the Jets gave up playing the style of game that would win the game

 

[Avocado Coolranch]

Jets lost focus midway and wasn’t able to recover. Will be interesting to see how they respond in the next game…

 

[Sweech]

Ehlers and Perfetti can't get back soon enough.

Weak effort to end it there. No one actually getting sticks, so many times a Vegas player will have the puck with 2 or even 3 Jets on them and they're simply allowed to easily pass out of the situation. Can't have that.

 

[sipowicz]

But conveniently back in time for the playoffs ……

No kidding

 

[roccerfeller]

Broissoit played well guys. Made some timely saves especially on KC

 

[LowLefty]

This game is a perfect example of why when our skilled players are healthy they go right back in. We have limited offensive depth atm to get back into games we are chasing. It leads to overpaying the few skilled guys we have and it leads to blown assignments. All of their goals tonight save one have come off of blown assignments by a forward

Couldn't disagree more -
We lost this game because we gave up on the stuff that won us the first one.
The last 2 goals against were mistakes we made defensively - the answer to that problem is not adding more offense.
Don't make the defensive mistakes that put you in a position where you are chasing the game - and you won't have to worry as much about skill scoring.
We did the opposite. Makes more sense to me to address the root of the problem rather than trying to outscore the problem.

Look forward to them realizing that over the next 2 days

Nope.. they didn’t

Im going to sleep dreaming that Big Buff was still here to absolutely destory Stone again
