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

[Borderbluesfan]

1) The knights are experts at getting away with interference and stick holding, its ridiculous how many times they've done it and not gotten called

2) the Jets D is playing like a bunch of morons, and the forwards aren't helping, but if the knights are going to so heavily forecheck, move the puck faster and reverse it. Its like their coaching staff just left the bench and went to a diner to eat.

3) I will be furious if LV makes the cup finals; this is an outrage as a fan of a team that has sucked for decades - with a lot of the blame on the league's shoulders for approving total sh-t owners who had no business buying a hockey franchise, but did so as a real estate play. If they make the cup finals/win I'm researching a subscription to the Swiss pro league and the NHL can drop dead as far as I'm concerned. There are fan bases who have suffered for decades trying to build a decent team, and the league tells them to drop dead so some expansion team can be gifted a team of top picks?

I’m not sure this Winnipeg franchise has been around for decades. You want disappointment, try being a Blues fan with 50 years of playoff frustration being an original expansion team, lol!!

 

[Saitama]

I hope Vegas wins now

Lol ok. Because this one guy said something? I think you might have wanted them to win before....

TLDR : My team sucks so Vegas can't win it's not fair.

I think there's a lot of credible speculation that he's playing with an injury that severely hinders his motion. It doesn't help that he's barely 20 year old sophomore who probably would be bit gassed already this late to the season.

Makes sense. Wouldn't surprise me. But such is the playoffs. Perron was trying to play through an injury and he was just too ineffective. I think Smith is playing through one as well. He's a few levels lower than usual when the playoffs should be firing him up to a new one.

 

[Alwalys]

Not a lot of fanbases will cheer on a key shotblock. Cool to see.

Disagree, most fambases cheer guys sacrificing themselves

 

[Sol]

I don't think of you outside of seeing your posting brilliance.

The only time you ever have posted anything good is when you're quoting me.

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

Apparently Pierre now loves Vegas after watching the Penguins get eliminated.

I'm not surprised at all, there are a lot of former Pens players on Vegas team.

 

[HanSolo]

Lol ok. Because this one guy said something? I think you might have wanted them to win before....

People have been saying the reverse for the exact same reasons. One Vegas HF poster starts getting a little chippy and it's like "I hope Vegas loses now so you can be sad"

 

[Hank Plank]

Jets look like a completely different team versus game 1. Crazy.

Absolutely. It is what it is. He needs to be better for the Jets to advance.

Isn't it ridiculous?

But that's a Blue tripping Bobby Orr, oh wait expansion team/division, got ya ha

They were rusty. They haven’t played in weeks.

The only time you've posted anything good is jokes about commentators like JR so, whatever.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

I’d rather see OV raise the cup. If Vegas wins that dude may need some serious councilling

You know you liked that retort. Don't hide it.

 

[HanSolo]

So dumb. I mean I've seen some dicks from every remaining team but this is a final four where I'd be fine with to happy with any team winning it all and that wouldn't change cause of one or more asshole fans.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

I’m not saying that it was a particularly dirty hit, or true intent to injure, but I think that was late/interference from Carpenter on Laine.

 

[Sentinel]

I tell ya: I dont remember seeing a team backchecking as ferociously as LV.

 

[mad4comp]

Dammit buff, shoot the puck..

 

[Saitama]

Yeah, I'd like to see him get one too. I actually don't mind any of the teams left now, so no matter what happens, I'll be pretty ok with it. Definitely would prefer to see the Jets win it obviously!

 

[Victory5]

2 goals by Vegas and this thread is thrown into disarray.

 

[Bruin1970]

Awe even little old me?

Not you. I like you.

 

[EpochLink]

Vegas so far, a nice bounce back game. I have no clue wtf happened to Tampa in game 2.

 

[Captain And Coke]

I loved seeing Reaves get dumped trying to hit Buff.
