WCSF Game 1: Edmonton Oilers Vs Vegas Golden Knights | 6:30PM PT | ESPN, CBC, SN, TVAS

[VivaLasVegas]

Thanks Petro.

One dumb thing every game.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Forearm shiver. Petro is still stupid for throwing it.

 

[Summer Rose]

Always fun. Especially since my trying to be younger wife went to bed!!

We're on the same page. My husband is in bed and I'm not.

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

That was super smart by Pietrangelo

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Savant-level play from the pie eater.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Dumb

 

[logan5]

Vegas with lots of good scoring chances in that period. Should be up by at least 2.

 

[phrenssoa]

Game seems to be getting called by the book tonight.

 

[SullivanT]

That butt end came really close to a suspension

 

[Captain And Coke]

That’s good!

Just don’t let them see you checking this thread too often

It's Emergency. We've already been here about four hours. Following the thread is keeping me sane at this point. lol

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

That's a penalty? Bouche bomb is such an actor. Poor kid got hurt.

Skinny held the fort

 

[kwichang]

Yea, it it ain’t the shit that’s squeaking!

But they're not. And they're heading into the third with the Oilers getting a full PP.

 

[Master Bill]

Darnell Nurse looks like a goof out there.

Might be the worst contract in NHL history. 7 more years at 9.25m... Yikes

 

[Bounces R Way]

It is such a contrasting style to the LA series where they had almost no forecheck going, and Vegas is relentless on the forecheck. It looks like Edmonton has started to adjust better to it as the game has gone on.

McLellan religiously employing the 1-3-1 allowing the Oilers to break out their own zone with ease has got to be one of the bigger headscratchers so far these playoffs. Edmonton's defense has maybe 2 guys that move the puck effectively, not sure why you would give them a free pass forechecking wise.

 

[Mike C]

We're on the same page. My husband is in bed and I'm not.

He not a hockey fan?

 

[logan5]

But they're not. And they're heading into the third with the Oilers getting a full PP.

Yeah, that's a call the ref doesn't make if it's 3-3.

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

The oilers look like ass so far through 40. They could easily be down 3

 

[Ol' Jase]

That's just a monumental dumb play by Pietrangelo. What is he thinking there?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Really impressed by Nurse. The most underrated dman on the NHL. The kids IQ is just off the charts.

 

[Summer Rose]

He not a hockey fan?

He's a hockey fan, but doesn't really care about the playoffs now that the Tampa Bay Lightning are out. As far as he's concerned, it's baseball season.

Meanwhile, I'm posting on HF, watching the game, in a VGK voice chat, and rather... plastered.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Terrible, but Rick DiPietro is still getting paid.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Yeah, that's a call the ref doesn't make if it's 3-3.

That's a stupid penalty all day. You're not wrong about game management being a thing but that's a penalty your hot head young guy takes. Not your veteran leader.

I like 2-2-1 but 1 needs to the fastest guy on the ice.
