Let's go refs!

Knights will probably win but I’d like the Wild to make it a series.

[Scroopy Noopers]

Talbot is a great goalie.

Go Wild

Anything is possible when you have a stud like Talbot between the pipes.

I can just see them winning this series in their "fluke year", and then next year they suck as they were expected to this year, only to add Shane Wright to that team.

Vegas can't score in the playoffs...Avs will murder them if they get there IMO

[GioforPM]

The Wild for some reason have a great record against Vegas this year.

I would have taken a Flames goalie this year who had the ability to match the .924 Talbot posted overall in the bubble last year..

Wild has won 5 of their last 6 games against Vegas, but all the pressure is still on Vegas.

If Vegas loses this one, they could choke the series rather quickly.

I know you say it every single day...almost like you have an agenda

Its hard to say what Talbots numbers with the Flames would have been this season IMO. Its not like he has never fallen on his face on a team with poor team D.

[madmike]

Vegas should be winning but Talbot has been great.

[dino7c]

High danger chances are 9-8 Knights

game is closer than people think IMO

[AC]

Wild win in OT!

Pietrangelo turns it over, I enjoy seeing him fail after leaving STL for Vegas for some reason.

If Alec Martinez doesn't have that shot go off his skate, Fleury 100% saves it. He was insane in that game.

[AustinL_NHL]

I wonder how good the Flames would be with a goalie like Talbot

not often the other goalie pitches a 40 save shutout win and the other goalie was arguably better but Fleury really was that good
