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

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

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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

First team to win four games last I heard.

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.

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?

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.
