@sethdutton28 @SinBinVegas 5 bad games allowing 4+ goals per game doesn't make 1 good game. The offense was gassed and injured by time Hart stepped up. The boys played their asses off, trying to score 4+ goals a game to make up for a lackluster goalie performance.

@JayVGK @SinBinVegas For the series you are absolutely correct hart played like ass but tonight he gave us a chance to win

Well... shit.

@JK_Ice_Maker @SaskColin Did say I didn't play 3 games??? He played lights out the last 3 games.

@JayVGK @SaskColin Bussi played 3 games but ok

It puzzles me that Vegas locks in with Hart and never gives a thought to Hill. The Hurricanes aren't even dressing Andersen even as a backup and he posted 13-3 win/loss 3 shutouts and a .910 save %

@JamesPitts_SCM @vgkpetey So allowing 4+ goals in 5 straight games wasn't an issue? 5 bad games doesn't make 1 good game. It's unfortunate the boys were gassed and injured to this point. The boys tried hard to score 4+ goals in each game to make up for a lackluster goalie performance.

@JayVGK @vgkpetey Lack of goals scored was the issue. How many did you put him down for scoring?

Brandon Bussi with a shutout in a #StanleyCup clincher is just filthy. Rod had the balls to make a goalie change before it was too late while Torts rode his guy into the ground.

@TheVGKnights @DanRussellST Stupid? Canes literally begged for Hart to play the rest of the series because of his inconsistencies. You have NHL players retired and not; vouching for a Hill start games earlier. Go to bed.

@JayVGK @DanRussellST Just stop. I'm in no mood for stupidity. He was a big reason why they were even in the Finals.

Even though Tortorella hated the question after G5, that first Carolina goal was an absolute morale killer for Las Vegas tonight. A bad early GA by C Hart, who lost his net.

@TheVGKnights @DanRussellST That's a no-brainer. He should've shown up earlier in the series like that, not late when everyone's gassed and injuries pile up.

@JayVGK @DanRussellST Bussi played great. Hart was solid tonight. Hart can't score goals.

@TheVGKnights @DanRussellST Allowing 5 games in a row of 4+ goals doesn't make one game right. Hart was outplayed plain in simple in the latter by Bussi. Sucks to see Hart like that though.

@DanRussellST He didn't lose shit. Gave up two goals and kept them in it. Can't win if you don't score.

Please stop praising the worst goalie thats ever played in the Stanley Cup Final please and thank you.

I honestly felt having quite a few players that played in the Olympic Gold game this year tired them out for the Stanley Cup Finals. The wear and tear would be brutal. Should have some fresh legs and spirit next season. Good year boys, it was so much fun.

@JK_Ice_Maker @SaskColin 22 allowed goals in the SCF is atrocious. Connor Hellebuyck stuffed 41 of 42 shots against the Canadians and has a terrible defense. A goalie can be the difference. Bussi was the difference.

@SaskColin Hart really should’ve scored more goals what a loser

@sethdutton28 @SinBinVegas Not agreeing with this one. 22 goals allowed in the SCF and don't tell me defense this and that. Connor Hellebuyck stuffed Canadians gold game 41 of 42 shots.

@SinBinVegas Can’t blame this game on Hart. He actually came to play the rest of the team didn’t

@BParry19 I was grilled by the VGK fanbase for saying this weeks ago. Saying "they're fine, they are not the problem" etc etc etc

Hannifin and Andersson have been horrific for the VGK defense.

Eichel has struggled to score consistently ever since the '23 cup run. Back then shots were going in and ripping successful one-timers. Got the money bag💰and called it good ever since.

Hannifen man, had 4 chances to clear that puck and failed each time. Who told me Hannifen wasn't to worry about?

As expected, Hart allows a goal right away. Routine stop for Adin Hill.

It was no question he was starting. Goodluck Defense. Step it up.

That's what I'm saying. Defense plays a role but after seeing Connor Hellebuyck have zero defense against an insane Canadian team in the Gold game, he stopped 41 of 42 shots. A goalie alone can make a difference. Defense needs to step to a godly level this game.

Vegas fans are the most fragile and emotional in the entire NHL. It's entertaining.

@loveyoneighbor @JesseGranger_ Don't get me excited like that. We know torts has a thick skull lol

@JesseGranger_ Adin Hill.

Tortorella isn’t showing his hand for the lineup ahead of Game 6. We’ll find out during warm ups whether it’s Reilly Smith or Brandon Saad in the lineup for William Karlsson.

@J_Swish24 I mean having R. Smith in there makes so much sense but try getting that into Torts thick skull.

No Bill Carlson aka “The ⚓️” for Vegas Golden Knights makes matters really difficult. I do believe VGK can win game 6 with their championship experience alone but they need to possess the puck way more and not let Carolina swarm them in the neutral zone in particular. When you don’t complete passes / keep the puck on the yellow it makes it easy for the Hurricanes to close time and space with their skating and up tempo game. You have to hold onto pucks and deposit into areas for your attack to skate onto. Here’s the line combinations I’d try that would help that: Barbie-Eichel-Stone Howden-Marner-Dorofeyev R. Smith- Hertl-Sissons C. Smith-Dowd- Coleslaw Vegas is clearly having an issue with the speed of Carolina and it looks overwhelming especially in Game 4/5. The adjustments internally to dictate the pace have to made if they want a chance of forcing a game 7. The line up above gives them a good mix of possession, speed and playmaking. Fourth line has got to wake up this series and make an impact. Let’s see where this goes.. good thing Torts left his Zegna ties in Raleighwood. -People’s
