[OOT] April 11: Day 1 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs!

[direwolf]

Haven't watched the entire game, but this period is all Vegas so far. Kings are throwing lots of hits, but it seems like the Knights have had the puck the entire time.

[savemedrzaius]

That's dirty. Headshot for sure.

Maybe you should bring this up in all the other threads of how crappy the Flames are and leave this thread for the playoff games being played like the thread title says it’s for.

The Flames can play with either of these teams.
We've all seen it. Not consistently, though, and that's the problem.
We've also seen the Kings and Knights look bad just not as often as the Flames unfortunately.

Edit to add: great game!

Doughty gets away with that type of !@#$...why? He's a huge baby, and a hypocrite.

[Manhattanboy]

Knights would be destroying the Flames right now.

[savemedrzaius]

I love Ferraro and Cuthbert. In my opinion the two best in the league.

But I have know idea how Ferraro can say shoulder is initial point of contact.

Relax already. i'm watching the vegas-LA game and having conversation ...

Brutal. As mentioned Hamonic and Gio got tossed for less. Doughty targeted and followed through high.

Instead because the east guys don’t see Doughty and just hear of his legend, everything he does is in the name of competiveness and give him a pass for the cheap shot against a guy no one has heard of.

Vegas has a case of the Flames this period so far!

[puffnstuff]

Havent been watching much but have seen quick get his stick up at least three times on guys skating by/around the net. And LA basically open season on running into, bumping, crowding Fleury.

My favorite nickname. Drew Pouty.

Doughty just walked around by Marsesschault.
Same Doughty that should be in the room with a 5 min penalty.

He's probably relieved that he doesn't have to play against Tkachuk for the rest of the year. Don't think I've ever seen a player get under Doughty's skin the way Chucky did this year.

What the? Dirty hit for sure. But Doughty drives that team. One of the best defensemen. He has been targeted all night long. Including punches to the head after a hit that go unpenalized.

Playoffs.

[direwolf]

Vegas putting on a clinic in how to protect a lead.

[savemedrzaius]

Vegas' crowd is better than Winnipeg's.

[Nsd1]

Pretty exciting game for a 1-0 final score

[zamler]

Anyone that says Vegas is somehow lucky to be where they are is out of their damn mind. They play fast, smart, relentless hockey.
