Man, Vegas is fun to watch. Only 5 minutes in and the Kings already look shell-shocked.

The pressure and puck movement on that Vegas powerplay is awesome. So good.

LOL, Phaneuf was lost on that goal.

Screening Quick, failed at blocking the shot, then bumped into Gravel instead of tying Tuch up who they both lost behind them.

This series is a conflict for me. I want the Kings to lose all the time, but Vegas' instant success also kind of annoys me.

I am more on the side of being annoyed by Vegas' instant success. I don't mind the kings. Though if knights win I would probably cheer for them over the sharks or ducks.

Surprise, surprise Carrier is fine and in the lineup. Trainer to Carrier after the Doughty hit 'hey if you go to the dressing room maybe it'll increase the chances Doughty gets suspended'.

Go Kings I guess. I'm cheering against the Knights since I am angry and jealous at their success.

I love a conspiracy but him going to the room is protocol.

Yeah I guess. I just don't like Carrier so I'm biased. Started with his running of the flames (eg. Gio) in a nothing game last week. Figured he was some kind of tough guy with all the hits he throws- 1 NHL fight this year according to hockeyfights.com.
One of those players......

All I want right now id Toronto to beat Boston (with Kadri self ejecting himself from this series chances are now slim). Philly to beat Pitt and CLB to begin their run to the cup. Aaaannd I guess I wont be too upset if Vegas makes it to the west final. Sports history and all.

Yeah the Kings look lost out there with no Muzzin or Doughty, it's ugly.

Can the Flames release all their players and then rebuild the team through an expansion draft?

Maybe then for a change we can have a team that competes and wins a division title and doesn't make you want to scratch your own eyes out of their sockets while you watch them fumble #### their way through another fruitless season.

The latest opinion is that we don't have enough talent. Does Vegas have more talent than us?

I don't know what to tell ya man. If we switch Gulutzan for Gallant do we finish the season with 109 points and them with 84?

Can't see it.

They have us killed with depth.

The difference seems to be the players they have that nobody wanted seem to perform, unlike our players that nobody wanted who do not perform....

There is something exciting about the knights quick up zone exit as opposed to the boring style that we play. The wild also played the same system as us tonight and were beaten up and lost their lunch money. The test for me will be whether Boudreau makes any changes for their next game.
