WCF Game 2: Vegas Golden Knights @ Winnipeg Jets | 8 PM ET | CBC, SN, TVAS, NBCSN

[Cellee]

So trolling or uneducated on the definition of the word chance. Got it.

Sorry your feelings are hurt.

Much respect Nashville.

 

[EpochLink]

Vegas has adjusted from Game 1, looks like the rust is off them.

Jets looking like the fatigued team, early on they look good.

 

[Daximus]

Jets turning the puck over; credit VGKs forecheck. Great road period from VGK.

Waiting for the WPG surge.

Wonder if those two posts will bite them in the ass bc no less is safe with WPG.

We have to start skating if we want to come back.

 

[HanSolo]

They haven't earned praise yet by being terrible for years...THEN you get respect

The f*** does being terrible for years have to do with current performance?

Even in Vegas' best moments against LA and San Jose, Sol was in these threads making it out to be "luck" or ref favoritism.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Jets get some PP opportunities and they will get back in the game.

 

[gallagt01]

I would hope Maurice is ripping that team apart right now. Miserable finish by the Jets.

 

[brewski420]

That was a ****ty period for the Jets and still lots of hockey left in this game.

Too many boneheads calling the series over based on 4 periods of play.

This is a series.

It is freaking amazing what people see as opposed to reality!!

 

[ryerockarola]

"kids you never change 'til you see the puck go in the other end" grapes. "and that was a big second goal"

That was a brutal line change.

 

[HanSolo]

Nah. Zero chance they come back tonight.

Well I don't have the same cockiness as others. 20 years of watching hockey I tend to believe anything can happen until you have a four goal lead.

 

[Borderbluesfan]

I'm impressed, Vegas looked bad in the first period of the first game. They also couldn't beat a good Jets defensive scheme in the first game. Adjustments were made and they now look like they can play with the Jets. Still two periods left, we will see how the teams come out and respond.

 

[HanSolo]

Easy to ignore though. Would make your life a lot better.

I suppose so.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

The post game 1 coronation of the jets may have been a bit premature

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Feel like half the time I see Kathryn Tappen on TV she's wearing a bath robe...

 

[Hank Plank]

I don't expect Winnipeg to get worn down trying to match or exceed Vegas' speed the way the Sharks were in game 6.

This series could very well come down to goaltending which means Vegas has a decent chance.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Winnipeg is getting shpanked. Can't say I'm not happy about that. Telling y'all Ovie vs Fleury finals.

With their new found cockiness, talking like the Knights shouldnt be in the same building and all of that other tripe, I hope they run up the score real bad.

 

[BelovedIsles]

We have to start skating if we want to come back.

Yep, a lot of standing around.

Jets playing some laid back hockey, Vegas looked rusty last game but have turned it on this game 2.

Jets need to stop shooting themselves in the foot.

 

[Daximus]

If we don't start skating we won't win this one. I've never seen more lazy play from this team.

This is a series.

First team to win four games last I heard.

 

[HanSolo]

This series could very well come down to goaltending which means Vegas has a decent chance.

It's gonna come down to defense as well. Sbisa had a solid year but he's out classed out there so far.

 

[mad4comp]

Jets just making some really stupid decisions with the puck. Move your feet, get to the puck, counter-attack. They're just sitting around in their zone waiting for easy break-outs (psst, it's not gonna happen when the other team is forechecking like crazy). Take a page from the Caps playbook or something.

 

[HeyMattyB]

Easy to ignore though. Would make your life a lot better.

Perhaps the boards would be better off in general if fans of each team would call out the trolls rooting for that team—trolls who are constantly pouring fuel into the flaming fire—instead of spending that energy telling fans from the other team to ignore the trolls.

Like, COLLECT YOUR OWN before telling the other side what to do, you know?

Yeah gliding to pucks, waiting for pucks to come to them. Nothing erks me more. Vegas just doesn't do it.

 

[Phil McKraken]

If you can win with a bunch of cast offs then the stanley cup is worthless. As are the star players. Congrats to bettman on that one.

The thing is, Vegas this season has players actually playing like stars, in Fleury, Marchessault, Karlsson and Smith. Just because they weren't stars before it doesn't mean you can win with any bunch of mediocre players, because right now they aren't mediocre.

 

[powerstuck]

Vegas played the period they needed to play after Game #1 loss.

Now lets see how Jets adjust. So far we're having a great series.
