Bing bing bing....Richochet Rabbit!

 

I can't remember ever seeing a goal like that.

Very bizarre for sure... need a couple more.

what an ending to that game. The Vegas goaltender loses his stick and a shot goes off his pad  time expires and all heck breaks loose.

 

The refs call a delay of game penalty a bit earlier but apparently crosschecking isn't called lat 3rd period? ? I saw at least 2. 

 

3-1 game lead is pretty tough. Win 3 straight easy peazy eh? Not so much.

As a VGK fan, the 3rd period blown lead in game 3 and the 3rd period near-blown lead in this game was quite nerve-wracking, but 3-1 going back to Vegas sounds good to me....however, nothing can be taken for granted against the Panthers....just ask the Bruins!

This comes out today.  Looks good

 

 

That does look pretty good. Think I’ll DVR it and watch when I get a chance. Thanks for sharing!

 

I was a big Paul Kariya fan growing up. He was one of my favorite non-Sabres players. I even picked his number for my jersey a few times on different hockey teams I played for. 
 

edit - it actually already aired at 11am est this morning. Hopefully it will be on again!

Looks like this might be the year for Vegas! I know the panthers came back from being down 3 games to 1 against Boston but I don’t see them doing it again. Vegas has just been too good, and so has Hill.

 

So who do you all think wins the Conn Smythe if Vegas wins the Cup?

 

My guess is either Marchessault or Hill, with Eichel possibly in that mix too.

I think right now it has to be one of the other two though, unless Eichel just has a monster finish to the series. He’s been very good this series but I think the other 2 have been a bit better and a bit more important. 

 

I will say… I’ve been impressed with Eichel’s 2 way game this year in Vegas and even more so this year in the playoffs. Bruce Cassidy has really gotten him to grow his defensive game. You could always see the potential for Eichel to be a great 2-way C in Buffalo. He could be so good on the backcheck when he wanted to be but the effort just wasn’t consistently there. He seems to be maturing a bit in Vegas. I’m sure it helps being surrounded by a strong veteran team that probably won’t tolerate 1/2 efforts from Eichel.

 

 

On a side note - how funny would it be if Bruce Cassidy won the Stanley Cup in his first season after being fired by Boston, while Boston was eliminated in the 1st round (after a historic regular season)… 😂

I DVR'd it and just watched it.  It was a pretty fun watch.  Nothing too deep but they tied it in with the movie by splicing in movie scenes and outtakes.  Kariya and Selanne were always a blast to watch play hockey.  I remember the original Mighty Ducks logo and gear being everywhere in the early days.  They should have never rebranded to just the Ducks IMO.  Seems like ESPN is making more of an effort to pump out some Hockey Docs now, I wonder if they would ever do one on No Goal.

OK, let’s see if the VGK can follow the Denver Nuggets lead and close out this series in 5!!

 

I want to see this go 7. I don't care who wins but a game 7 SCF would be awesome. I think Vegas Cups tonight and they do close it out in 5.

My pick for Conn Smythe is Marchessault.  He's been the Knights' best player IMO.

Oops. Game on! Will it be over tonight? If so, I'll just miss watching hockey. I want a game 7, or 6.  I think Vegas will win it tonight though. Bob will have to stand on his head for the Panthers to have a chance,  duh.

As if the Diggs drama wasn't enough today...it looks like Vegas is pretty much a lock to hoist Lord Stanley tonight.  What a ROUGH day this turned out to be😞

I read all the Eichel animosity. I didn't live through it as a sabres fan or I'd likely have more empathy  . 

 

I dont generally root for players when they leave the Bills for other teams. Now if he were to talk Buffalo smack NOW Id pay attention.

 

 Florida is  being beat down.  I think the 3rd period is going to be Chippy just sayin'
