Well.....could have been worse.

5 forwards on the PP and instant goal for Vegas. Of course Minnesota comes right back to score.

Yeah you could tell eichel knew exactly who was out there when he chose to carry it on a play you normally dump it.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Terrible challenge. Desperation coming in for a coach that has never won a playoff series at any level of hockey he has coached at.

 

[TRF Guy]

Can't believe he challenged that. Wasn't even close to being interference

The matchup everyone is watching tonight, the Eichel line vs the Kaprizov line; from Jesse Granger:

Eichel played 4:28 against Kaprizov in the first period at even strength (highest of any player). Vegas led in:
Shots: 6-3
Scoring chances: 2-0
Goals: 1-0

Yeah that’s an ugly first period.

He and Karlsson matchup much much better in terms of speed. That matchup tilting bodes very poorly for the Wild and is what I would’ve expected over the course of the series

 

[TRF Guy]

This team still overpasses

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, Karlsson is who VGK has used forever to shut down the McDavid line when they play Edmonton. He's one of the most underrated 200-ft players in the league. Pretty ballsy for Cassidy to put a couple guys together who have never played together before but Eichel and Karlsson are experienced enough to pull it off. We'll see how it goes the rest of the way.

 

[Ogie Ogilthorpe]

Damn. Hats off to Gus for keeping this game from getting out of hand. Wow

[TRF Guy]

Getting killed in the circle again

 

[upnorthkid]

Getting killed in the circle again

We’re getting killed over large swaths of the ice tonight. It’s been rough

Yeah it hasn't been good. Obviously Gus is giving them a chance

 

[Gophers1992]

Bed time for this guy. I don’t sense a third period comeback. Hopefully I wake up to a surprise like in game 2.

 

[gophersfan]

Filip Gustavsson out of the game with a illness. Marc-Andre Fleury time.

 

[Border Gopher]

Boom

 

[gophersfan]

Matt Boldy and we tied at 2.

 

[TRF Guy]

Boldy ties it up

 

[Wally]

Kill the fake knights, they f suck!!!!!

 

[Border Gopher]

Flower is the winningest playoff goalie in VGK's long and storied history? Well no shi

 

[TRF Guy]

Well Flower here is a chance to add to your legendary career

 

[Ogie Ogilthorpe]

Boldy ties it up

Wow. They just said Boldy has played more minutes than even any of the Wild defensemen, with 12 mins left. Talk about riding one horse

He played 33 minutes in game 4 too. More than any other player

 

[Border Gopher]

Vegas goal in 5, 4, 3 ...

 

[TRF Guy]

 

[TRF Guy]

Damnit

 

[From the Parkinglot]

John Merrill sucks. The fact Buium cant play is not good.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Also Nyquist going offsides in the 3rd should get his ass in the press box. No excuses for that to happen.

It only cost Minnesota a 2rd round pick to be offsides and lose the game. What a steal of a deal. Billy G does love him some “veterans”.
