R2 - Series Thread - Golden Knights (P1) vs Sharks (P3)

[direwolf]

Just got home and turned on the game. Vegas isn't winning? Weird.

[Machiavelli]

Sharks are beating the Knights at their own quick transition game

[activeStick]

Sharks are a very good hockey team.

Carrier the plug shows up and runs somebody. All he is good for. Would love to see Kane teach him a lesson.

Tonight is the night everybody’s been talking about since day 1... Vegas is finally done IMO.

[Drake]

Dont understand how thats a penalty on Kane lmao

The series is 2-2 and Vegas beat the sharks 7-0 a couple days ago this series can go either way

[3rd liner]

Now we have a series... after game one I admit I was thinking another vegas sweep. The sharks have regrouped. Looking like a 7 game series.

[Hey Connor, It's Mess]

Were we in on Jones when he was originally traded? Would have been awesome to have him back here.

Sure it can...SJ has been the better team 3 of 4 games though IMO and seem to be getting stronger

[GoJetsGo]

Jones looked like Kipper on some of those saves. Great game by him.

Isn't that a Denver sports problem in general, not just the Avs? Except for the Broncos, all the Denver teams struggle to fill the building if the team isn't doing well.

Kind of. The Rockies do okay (generally average MLB attendance) but the Nuggets and Avs are not very well attended. It's definitely a Broncos town.

San Jose has serious rights to win this series. But that doesn't often translate in reality.
I'd love to witness Vegas go to conference final.
Major hypocrisy on CP love for San Jose in this series, when they are bashed most other times. Most of all for myself , I enjoy seeing good hockey.

That's saying the CP collective tells other people to not love the SJ Sharks but do themselves. Maybe you mean an about face.

Sharks have been a good team for a long time, just traditionally had difficulty in the post season. Some of their stars are getting long in the tooth.

The love/hate for any team is always situational on whom they are playing.
The Ducks? Hate them. Oh they are in playoffs vs the Oilers? Go Ducks!

Many on CP confuse wishful thinking with reality when dealing with the california teams. Declaring the Sharks to be garbage team does not make it happen! That being said, i'll be surprised if they beat Vegas this series. i expect Vegas to adjust their game somewhat for game 5 - i thought SJ was really good last night and anticipating what Vegas was going to do with the puck.

Jones was the difference. Vegas had great chances in the 1st and 2nd, but he was a wall.

Great series, looking forward to game 7 in Vegas. That should be intense.

Yep, but because they didn't show up for game 1, the series is tied and now Vegas gets to go home and regroup for themselves. I'll stick with my Sharks in 6 pick from the outset but it's looking more and more like a series that should go the distance.

[CSharp]

Last night's game is the first time since the final season loss to the Flames that the Vegas Knights look so bad. I don't think anyone showed up to play. I'm sure they'll bounce back in Vegas. If not, that's the, the Cinderella story ends. Still hoping to see them play against the Jets in the next round.

We've been seeing it throughout this series.

All season long, the Knights have been believers. And at every moment of adversity, they charged forward, and their determination, momentum, and confidence carried them through. t also made them fun to watch.

This series has been totally different. They circle back. They hesitate. They have doubt.

For the first time this year, there is doubt in their game. And suddenly they are looking a lot more average. We'll see, of course, but I think their bubble has burst. They are simply not playing the same way they were all season up until this series.
