This has been obvious for awhile, but Z is sooo f***ing fast. He practically caught up to KJ here and blew past Pietrangelo.

I thought the boys played real well tonight for the most part. I don't know what the fancy stats are going to show but I thought by my eyes the chances were probably even for both teams during the last two periods.
Winning when you're missing Monahan on the road versus a team like Vegas is not easy.
I'm looking forward to seeing the game in Utah tomorrow. If they win back-to-back games on the road then I think it would serve their best interest to pay for my future trips to watch them. LOL

I don’t know, Z is very good defensively and I am super impressed with how Mateychuk sticks to high skill offensive players while defending.

I really don’t think we did after the first period. We got outplayed but I wouldn’t say dominated. Neither team really had much
This has been awesome to watch. I remember a play against NYR where Panarin had the puck and Mateychuk looked like his shadow.

Felt like they had the puck in our zone all night, and that we had zero forecheck idk. Seemed like they had quite a few posts and dangerous shots from the point that barely missed or hit guys in front. Maybe I’m just being negative!
11-2 with Mateychuk in the lineup.
Mateychuk is still pretty far from being our best defensive player. He has the attributes and innate smarts for it, and I think that's what we're seeing, but he hasn't put it all together yet. I think he'll be a more valuable defensive player when he gets his timing down and learns when he can jump up in the neutral zone against NHLers, that and shorten his gaps. Right now he's hanging back a lot to avoid getting beat, and the puck ends up in our end.
We've been outscored with Mateychuk on the ice, 9-7. I think he's a big add regardless and I expect him to keep getting better, but we're not 11-2 because of him.

Not saying they are because of him! IMO, this was not his best game. The advanced stats on Moneypuck favor him, but I thought tonight was a great showing of how he needs to get stronger.

Random fun fact: The owner of the Knights is either from where I live in Montana, or lives here part time. He owns one of the main restaurant groups in town so there are a couple of dedicated Golden Knights bars. They brought the cup there a couple years ago, so the Knights have a weirdly large presence here because of that.
Anyways, that makes beating the Knights all the bit sweeter, because f*** em for being handed a cup on a silver platter.

must’ve went like 42 for 44 to end the game lol. because I swear at one point it felt like he was 0/12 against eichel
Oh hell yes, a W in Vegas!
Gritty performance. We can pick out issues here and there, maybe everywhere. But it’s a road W against a Cup contender when the team really needed it to start the trip and keep the momemtum going. Go get 2 more points tonight!

he’s now given up just 4 goals in 3 career games in vegas. a .955 save percentage. he easily plays the best in this building out of any other in the league. impressive!

Have I told you I miss Logan Thompson
Just being PropheticThe CBJ have not made the playoffs in like four seasons and been one of the worst teams in the league over that stretch, have won just one playoff series in their entire existence and the fanbase is excited because they are actually playing relevant games at the end of January. The Knights have been to the playoffs every season except once during their short seven year existence, won a SC, made at least the third round of the playoffs four times and are currently battling for first place in their division .
And their GDT thread opens by calling their team "The Losers". SMH.
The Losers
Johnny Gaudreaus Spirit.
Congrats on the win.
