I'm still waiting for that 7th game that SN guaranteed was gonna happen.

Ha! He was focusing on the Oilers last series and pretty much ignoring the other team.

Vagas dominating early in this one. Dallas looks a bit shell-shocked.

Good lord!!!
What the hell did I do to deserve this?!???
I’m in the kitchen making dinner so, as usual, I put the satellite radio on to listen to the game
And
Who’s calling it?
Jack f#<#ing Michaels!!!

So many empty seats tonight. That is really interesting to see because they can usually pack them into the arena whether it is local fans or away fans. I have a buddy who has season tickets and he had no problem selling round 1 and 2, round 2 was especially easy to get rid of, but this round he was still looking to unload game 1 and 2 the other day.

Exactly so. If it looks like this the whole time, gonna be Vegas in 4.

I think Dallas will find some play, but jeez this is surprising.

The arena looks full what empty seats?

[TheSquatch]

Man, Roy is SO good on the boards.

Do you not see the white towels draped over the empty seats? It has filled in a bit more over the last few minutes but still a good amount of empty seats.

Can I just reiterate how nice it is that Edmonton is eliminated and we're watching other, better teams square off.

[direwolf]

Oettinger doing a great job holding down the fort so far. He's starting to look a lot more like his 2022 self.

Not to mention we're finally getting to enjoy some first class, professional commentary and analysis, instead of the embarrassing Oiler circle jerk that was shoved down our throats during the first two rounds.

Pbp team didn't even mentioned the crazy bounce off the boards and out into the slot!

Amen.

[JohnnyB]

Oh, yeah, the West still has a conference final happening.

That's... something... I guess.

Keep in mind, it was a 5:30pm local start time. I know it seems like everyone in Vegas works odd hours, but I'm sure there are still a few 9 to 5ers somewhere in the city.

Game 2 is at noon on Sunday. Those start times are probably a big reason it's a harder sell.

i'm tempted to text my buddies that cheer for the grease and say something along the lines of: "wow.... the knights sure look like a different team when their opponents are committed to team defense!"

Yes, it is a surprise. I posted that in the OOT. He is just calling one game. John Ahlers will be calling games three to seven. I have been told that Ahlers had family commitments this weekend.
