As Vegas stuns the #avs with two wins at Ball Arena to open the Western Conference Final, this stat becomes relevant:
Teams starting 2-0 on the road in the series right before the Stanley Cup Final are 20-1 in NHL history all time. 👀👀
@TheCryptoRyan1@SinBinVegas He has been bad for the past couple of games. It's ridiculous and we have had enough. He'll shoot a lot next game but then go right back to passing. He is so inconsistent when it comes to shooting.
It hasn't paid off yet tonight, but VGK's play along the boards has been tremendous in this series so far. It relieves a lot of pressure when it starts to mount from COL.
@VGKRadioNetwork@Dan_DUva@garylawless@GoldenKnights Eichel is wasting these PP. Shoot the puck or demote him to PP1. It's getting ridiculous with him. Theodore, and Dorofyev are starting to pass way too much now because of him.
🗣️ @Dan_DUva and @garylawless spoke with Ivan Barbashev during the second intermission with the @GoldenKnights down 1-0.
"To win one on the road is good, but if you have a chance to get a second one, it’s even better. So we've just got to keep pushing and playing better."

@GoldenKnights Vegas has given up. It is a simple as that. Eichel doesn't know what shooting is. This entire team is starting to follow him in being pass first
VGK are making it a habit of taking penalties right at the end of periods. In theory, it's the best time to take them, but eventually penalty trouble always catches up.
VGK are fortunate on that 4-on-4 that the Avs didn't have their shooting accuracy honed in. It was a barrage of danger and Hart didn't have to touch any of them.
VGK survive the end of the 1st period. It was looking like it was going to be VGK's best period of the first 4 but the goal and the last few shifts kind of changed it.
The best players on VGK's roster got a number of dangerous chances, didn't convert any of them.
The line of Karlsson, Marner, and Howden has completely changed the makeup of the Golden Knights' top-six. It's a dream combo for Tortorella and a nightmare for opposing coaches...

Inscriptagraphs giveaways are back!
Tonight's item is a William Karlsson signed puck. To win, guess the exact number of seconds Karlsson will play in Game 1.
Total ice time, all strengths.
The closest guess without going over wins the prize from @inscriptagraphs!
The stories about Dylan Coghlan are going to be awesome with all the quotes that have been given about him tonight. Such a cool story and an awesome moment for a guy who deserves it as much as anyone. Very easy player to root for.
And apparently to stick into the lineup in the middle of the playoffs despite barely playing in the NHL this season.
