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

[HanSolo]

Still a period left in this game. Potential sweep still in effect for Winnipeg.

True.

 

[Bruin1970]

Should be about 6-0

Vegas is tenacious. Well coached and fun to watch.

 

[Sol]

One thing about Byfuglien that I find interesting is that he's so productive for someone who's playing style gives you the impression that he'd rather be doing something else rather than hockey. Lol.

 

[Daximus]

yeah, and I was hoping for a call to try to get some offense going

Refs put the whistles away after that last blown call. Obviously no make up coming our way.

 

[Sids Jockstrap]

Seems like one of those games where Winnipeg just can’t buy a goal.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

I'm so ****ing sick of the Vegas was gifted a team horse****. Other teams literally gave these players away so they could keep others. none of these guys except maybe Neal and Marchessault were even considered good before this year. Their best player was supposed to be a KHLer that didn't even make the team. Stop whining because this team is managed better than yours.

Thank you, everyone thought they would be crap and reasonably so. Watching them play is something else.

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

I thought Winnipeg was supposed to win it in four though.

Maybe for some hilarious Jets fans but I'd chosen Vegas in six for my part.

 

[pbgoalie]

I mean. Do what you want

Just playing Excited to see the lead I guess

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah, this sort of the reverse of game 1 I think.

With fewer goals from Vegas as the leading team but yes, I'd agree. When Gallant wants his boys to shut a team down they can do it at the expense of offensive chances. And that's what we're seeing right now. Winnipeg's chances are all pretty low quality right now.

I think Winnipeg and Vegas are two of the better teams in the league at turtling but I still f***ing hate turtling hockey. But if it works I won't complain.

 

[Borderbluesfan]

For what it’s worth, the difference I see between this game and game one is Vegas is breaking out of their zone and getting into the offensive zone much cleaner. Vegas is also slowing down the Jets through the neutral zone.

 

[Psyfer]

As they should be, still don't understand how anyone could think a team can accidentally get to the third round.

Seriously even Ottawa was able to push Penguins to game 7 OT last year and the Knights are a better team

 

[Porkleaker]

MAF is going to get a shutout.

 

[Section88]

Marchessault should know that move wont work on playoff buff

 

[amethyst]

Why is Reaves laughing lol

 

[ryerockarola]

MAF is going to get a shutout.

I really hope this jinxes him

but in small print I kind of see.... need to get one goal, somehow.

 

[HanSolo]

Canadian broadcast sure notices more missed calls on Vegas than Winnipeg. No surprise there.

 

[Ainec]

be me

-create thread titled "why do people still underestimate Vegas"
-bet more than I'm comfortable with on WPG series win
-contemplating going all in Caps

 

[EpochLink]

Jets are ****ing done tonight

Bad skating, sloppy play so far.
Were they aware Vegas was going to come out swinging? Maurice needs to prepare these guys better.

 

[HanSolo]

Why is Reaves laughing lol

Same reason Marchand may laugh when he gets under his opponent's skin. Thankfully Reaves isn't AS much of a pos.

 

[ryerockarola]

Canadian broadcast sure notices more missed calls on Vegas than Winnipeg. No surprise there.

pbp guy is ex-Canucks announcer, color guy's an ex-Oiler

 

[Phil McKraken]

Fleury looks so calm in net.

 

[snowkiddin]

They called a penalty against Vegas?! In other news hell has frozen over

 

[Daximus]

That is the call they decide to make? After all the shit they let go?

 

[amethyst]

I love Wheeler.
