Agreed ^^^ i don't think Vegas stole the game last night. The Karlsson line was exceptional - particularly as the game wore on. Gonna be a great series - as advertised.

I don’t even think Hellebuyck was entirely in the building. He struggled all game.
Vegas did play strong though.

Yeah it was a typical Vegas victory IMO. They went head to head with a good opponent playing them pretty evenly waiting to pounce on breakdowns. Jets weren't terrible but Vegas is one of those teams that makes you pay when you let your guard down.

It wasn't Jet breakdowns as much as it was Vegas pressuring them into turnovers..they were relentless again last night. The only games they have lost this playoffs is when they weren't back pressuring teams.....but when they do its like they have one more guy on the ice than their opponents. Its remarkable how good they are at it. They always know where the other guys on their team are when on the ice....makes the game a LOT easier to play.

Yeah, I didn't watch the whole game as I was going back and forth between it and RAW but from what I saw saying Fleury stole it for Vegas is a bit of a stretch.

Funny story, I was wearing my Knights jersey at work yesterday and every hockey fan at the office was adamant that because of how poorly the Knights matched up against the Jets on Saturday that it was all over for the Knights.
Clearly they haven't watched Knights games this year. Everyone is avoiding my office today.

This has been their MO the entire season. When it works, it's very effective, and you just sit there wondering how the hell they're able to make these blind low percentage passes work.
San Jose was able to stop a lot of this from happening by Game 2, question is will the Jets be able to do this as well.

Man that must have been difficult video to watch for the players on the ice for that goal. Breakdowns, bad positioning, and goaltender not putting up much resistance against a stoppable shot from a poor angle.

Gee, haven't heard that one before.
I've been cheering on the Knights as my 2nd team before they even played a single game, so at least I was the first on that bandwagon.

I got no issues with anyone cheering for the Knights. I still think it's a great story and given the amount of North Americans that frequent Vegas they make a lot of sense as a 2nd team. That will probably change if they ever meet the Flames in the playoffs though.

I only would cheer against Vancouver, Calgary. Edmonton would stop getting my support at the Western Final.
Montreal and Ottawa would be totally fine with me. I'd rather set my van on fire than watch the Leafs win.
