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

[BelovedIsles]

Not sure of Perron's status. I actually do think Haula is a fine 2c when he's on. But with Perron's injury coming in the middle of the playoff push and plaguing him in the playoffs, Haula has just struggled to find that game again.

Cody Glass will replace him eventually. If not next season then likely the one after.

Think they could upgrade the 2nd line.

Surprised Tuch hasn’t used the open ice to his advantage. He has 30 goal potential, not sure if he has the consistent work ethic though.

comp the jets players like crazy

jets need to win the first game in vegas cause we all know they will be to hung over from drinking and ripping lines. and not to mention the hookrs

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

It looks the best at night. Light pollution and extravagant power usage be damned. The Strip at night is always a beautiful sight even after all these years.

Im not 100% sure if you saw the view on CBC but the sun set view from a helicopter flying in between the towers of the orangy rock maybe 2km or so away lol. dam

When I went there I didn't really explore the city too much or the surrounding areas. Will do that next time for sure.

 

[RonJon]

To me both games were mirrors of each other. One team goes up and shuts it down. Good job Vegas, got the split

 

[HanSolo]

Should be 6 or 7 for sure

I'd prefer if we could take it in 5 but I'll be happy if they can hold off to 6 and 7.

I'm really just happy that Vegas shut up the doubters tonight who were insistent on slamming every page of the last GDT with assurances that Vegas had no right or business to be in this series and that they stood zero chance.

 

[PromisedLand]

the jets have some legit beards... lol

Laine's beard is a slap in a face to all the men that sport beards

 

[Jordan Belfort]

Well I guess reaves want as irrelevant as everyone thought. Jets got cocky. They could easily lose this series now

 

[Straight Fire]

Massive bounce back win for Vegas!

 

[1967th Heaven]

People saying the Jets aren't going to sweep need to get their heads examined. Winnipeg just got off a 7 game series against the President's Trophy winner and still had their legs. Hellebuyck let in a cheap one I'm sure he'd like back from McNabb after a 7 minute delay.

I think the Jets win 4-0. The Caps are going 4-0 too.

dammit man I just got my head examined for nothing

 

[Cletus Marley]

Jets organization losing confidence in Hellebuyck.

 

[SeattleSportsFan]

What a truly delightful game.

Not for Jets fans.

Anybody that has watched VGK play this season (regular season or playoffs) would not have made that comment; and if they did - they need to learn about hockey

When the series is tied at 1?

 

[AveryQuietMan]

Laine's beard is a slap in a face to all the men that sport beards

thats damn good for his age

 

[McClelland]

Jets showing an incredible lack of heart in this game.

You have repeated this excuse like a parrot on speed! They met a better team today , and lost!

 

[Hank Plank]

Take notes Tampa that's how you bounce back after a loss. Ah never mind you're finished. Very impressive win by Vegas, surgical.

 

[Do or Die]

Well deserved loss....bad zone entries, turnovers, lost too many puck battles. Vegas full value for the win, tonight.

 

[snowkiddin]

Jets organization losing confidence in Hellebuyck.

Huh?

 

[HanSolo]

Naturally it's your 1A now right?

And just as someone who's frequented Vegas all my life, is it me or has it gotten more ghetto around the outskirts of the strip. I was so shocked.


Has it gotten more ghetto?

Oh I forgot. Basically East of the strip Vegas has gotten more ghetto as that part of the city has aged and the western expansion has more of the middle class and rich people on that side of town in the newer part of the city. Basically everything immediately east of the strip and up into the north east is the rough part of town. Henderson, west Vegas, and North West Vegas are newer and cleaner.

 

[Jordan Belfort]

When the series is tied at 1?

Well everyone was saying “jets sweep jets sweep” but the power of an underdog and belief is hard to stop. Vegas in 6. And my boy reaves wasn’t too bad out there. Buff looked a little “scared” as he calls it. Lol.

 

[Future GOAT]

Jet's should be embarrassed. **** effort tonight. Go to Vegas with your tails between your legs boys. Piss poor. Better start skating all game or your done.

Yeah that was a bad effort. Can't win games putting in a half hearted effort like they did tonight.

 

[Borderbluesfan]

and the jets crash as pilots give up; autopilot malfunctions

Well, they are still flying the same FA-18s that the Canadian Air Force was flying when I did joint training with the Canadian forces at Camp Wainwright in Alberta in 1985. Same old Jets, lol!!

 

[Goldenshark]

So many Winnipeg fans just came back down to earth after talking about how easy Vegas had it in the first 2 rounds, lmao.

 

[PhilJets]

Props to Knights team.

One thing now i noticed with them.
Its not their speed.
Its their 60 minutes commitment to full hockey.
Hard working team. Going to be tough to beat them. Jets need all that they can give.

Or else Knights will eat them up.

Schiefele will now need to elevate again. He got himself a player assigned to him.

 

[HanSolo]

Anybody that has watched VGK play this season (regular season or playoffs) would not have made that comment; and if they did - they need to learn about hockey

Didn't make the game 1 GDT any less insufferable. I mean even the first two minutes of this game had this thread being blasted with people acting like Vegas weren't gonna even be able to compete with Winnipeg in this one.

Vegas showed what they were made of and I believe both teams can be better than what they showed in games 1 and 2.
