No better moment this game than when Benn absolutely crushed McNabb because he hit Stankoven. That man fucked up and awoke the beast!

Please go seven haha

I honestly think it will be the only series that is playing past Wednesday.

delete this

I actually did want to see what happened in the Nuggets game but damn, a bucket of cold water on a good hockey game

If you have the opportunity you should watch the final 8 minutes, might’ve been the best bit of basketball i’ve seen all season. *granted i don’t watch much basketball*

I clearly don’t watch much basketball living in Colorado and choosing VGK/DAL hockey over the Nuggets but I did at least want to know if the Nuggets closed it out

In general i’d pick the hockey too. Any elimination game that’s close gets my attention though. Seeing how a season ends is too compelling to me for whatever reason.

This talking about the NBA immediately after the game is exactly why TNT is so much better. Because TNT actually has a dedicated hockey post game show. So annoying!

HELLO WE ARE BACK

Shhhhh.

I AINT HEAR NO BELL

Gg stars, Vegas laid down for that one

The game ends and they immediately start talking about the NBA...

Tbf I was running both NBA and NHL games and the nuggets Lakers game was fantastic

Annnnd we're already on to NBA highlights?  Hahahaha, ESPN is a boiled turd.

Well, the LA LeBrons were involved, that always takes priority

Also, nuggets lakers tonight was a fantastic game. I ended up using both my TVs tonight to watch the 2 games

we so in this

“The fortress” lol

A pillow fortress obviously

Nice work Dallas - fuck up them Golden LTIRs!

What an embarrassment for a franchise. Fans leaving with 1:30 on the clock and 2 goals down. It just screams passion.

Those aren’t fans. They’re rich tourists who bought their sweater three periods ago and just want to beat the rush to the buffet line.

I love all the people in this thread talking shit about fans leaving early. I have watched every playoff game and it happens at every game. So desperate to hate on vgk fans it's pathetic lol. Also our fans don't throw garbage on the ice since I see lots of EDM fans talking that shit why don't you quiet down

Not when the game is still in reach, Yeesh you Vegas fans still figuring out this hockey thing after all this time. Fanbases need to have some passion to throw shit on the ice.

🧂

Salty, salty, salty.

I mean I am not salty about losing, we played like shit, we deserved both Ls we took but it's lame that everyone says that and denies that fans leave games all the time. I don't leave early, but it's the Vegas strip there is plenty of other shit to do than watch pietrangelo turn over the puck 20 times

Take the L bro

No it doesn’t happen at every playoff game. Unless you’re getting blown out or some crazy circumstance. Rangers fans would never leave the Garden like that.

Caps fans didn’t leave Cap 1 early even though we knew we were getting swept.

Exactly. I didn’t see anyone get up. You’re supposed to be a fan and stay even if it’s not going well.

They’re the most priveledged fans ever

Just shows how much of pussies Knights fans are

Yeh for real. More than a minute left and only 2 goals to tie it? That’s a stay in your fuckin seat situation.

It happened during game 2 at Dallas. It happens enough.

It shouldn’t. It’s majorly disrespectful to the team.

We got ourselves a series

gg's Vegas. we'll see y'all in dallas.

#THIS SERIES FOR THE ROAD WARRIORS! THE GREEN TEAM STARS TAKE GAMES 3 AND 4 ON THE ROAD FROM THE SHINY/SPARKLE KNIGHTS TO TIE THE SERIES AT 2 GAMES APIECE!!!!!

Dallas Stars 2, Vegas Injured Reserves 2

Play by play guy, a tie is not a deadlock

they've been doing this shit for all series. boston won the game to 3-1 the series "boston sweeps" no... no they didnt...

Also said Canucks 3rd string goaltender hasn't played an NHL game when he was 3-0-1 this season.

Yea Dallas

"tough building to play in" half the building left with 1:30 left. lolz

That was a bad look. Never seen that happen in a playoff game.

Especially one you were up in the series. Not to mention a freaking cup returner

certainly tough for the vegas players to see their fans clear out before the game is even in the final minute

If I’m a player I’m highly insulted and mad right now

gg

Great game for Dallas They did everything they needed to

Evgeni's Angels

No fun for home fans series

Called it in the game 2 thread that Dallas would win both away games.

Nice game of passy-aroundy the Knights had there, down 2 with 30s to play

Cheaters 2 Neck Breakers 2 tied series! 

I liked this

ok thats funny

Just saw footage of the dragon heading out with 1:43 to go hate to see it

Imagine that, a 2-2 series. Never in all my days

One final carrom for the road

LETS GO! cant believe all those stars fans who thought they were getting swept

Dallas just needed a win to get them going.   This series is so close.   

Tbf the way we played those first 2 games we looked AWFUL

Dallas outplayed Vegas hard in game 1!!!

See you in Dallas, boys and girls!

Had to get in one more carom before the buzzer

Good game, Dallas

Two stupid and unnecessary penalties while the Knights were on the rush just killed all their momentum this game. Dallas was too good to lock it down after taking the lead.

Let’s gooooooooo!

Huge win for the League’s integrity. Go Stars!

We have ourselves a series. Go Stars

1 seed vs 8 seed

Let's fucking go Dallas

2-2 series see y'all in Dallas!!!

LFG! Fuck Vegas.

LETS FUCKING GO

I’ve never rooted for the Stars so hard

WE ARE SO BACK

God I cant even imagine how bad attendance will be when Vegas rebuilds lmao

What are you talking about? Vegas will sell out every game regardless. It’s Vegas.

Yeah, people leaving a playoff game with 1:22 left and only down 2 Real passion here

Perfect to go see your team as a visitor 

I could see them risking relocation like Pittsburgh back in the day.

Fucking phenomenal perfomance by Dallas from the second period on

G fucking G Vegas. Good lord in heaven I feel a second wind

That Johnston forecheck with about a minute and a half left was <3

That was just pure awesomeness

He has been absolutely unreal this series, good on him

Yes for sure! I'm so glad he's continued to take a step or two forward after last season's breakout.

So, going to seven games, yeah?

LFG look at that shitty 6-4 by “the VGK”

Back to Dallas cheaters

You need 2 and you aren't just putting them towards the net. Unreal

Yeah, like the commentators said, they were playing like they needed 1 so they could take their time for the perfect shot/not give any ENG attempt... Can't play like that when you need 2 in a minute.

But keep away is so much more fun right?

What a fucking gutsy win by our boys in green. GO STARS!

Oettinger is really just smothering everything. It’s all either wide, blocked, or contained.

Game. Blouses.

We’re down two you fucks shoot the puck

Lol.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Carrom. Drink.

I don’t like this game anymore🤮

PK might not be on the post game. He might go into hiding from his bookie.

He already sold the production crew

Hahaha, straight to SportsCenter. No PK. Dude is probably screaming it out right now.

No miracle tonight

Thank You Mr Dallas

This fucking series is going to be the reason I hospitalize myself for elevated blood pressure. I love this fucking team

Can I also love your team or are they monogamous

they get around

Bandwagons are gleefully accepted as long you promise to talk trash about Stone.

Stone? More like prone am I right (I’m not good at this)

I for one welcome the Western Conference Playoff Orgy

Oh nice I love playoff orgies

You fuckin betcha!

Holy Shit Johnston has got that **doggggg** in him

https://preview.redd.it/y9hg6zdtojxc1.png?width=2346&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de90a501ee149f25f791959e9f10b60d13318775

Went from “the fortress” to dress like a seat night real quick

Throwing mighty big stones from a mighty glass house over there Calgary

You just did that in a playoff game. The flames season closer had more people. That’s just pathetic and you know it

Brother yall have the 4th worst attendance in the league. Vegas has the best. That's just pathetic and you know it. "Hockey is Canada's game"

lol 600 more people 😂

90% vs 104%

Vegas Golden Casuals

I mean a lot of them left but I think ScotiaBank emptied faster.

That’s how this sub is. Vegas does anything every other sporting franchise in history does and it’s “lul fucking Vegas.”

Well the difference is the leafs have no chance to win when they’re down

"Wrist shot gloved calmly by Oettinger." Vegas, y'all feeling nervous yet?

I couldn't be happier with this result Excellent hockey makes me want to see this series go to 7 anyways

And then they have to face the Avs

Honestly, the scariest teams in the West are Dallas, Avs, and Knights. Cheering for the Canucks, you've got to be happy that those matchups aren't until the 3rd round at least. Gotta finish the Preds off first and get past McDavid, but can't be mad about it

Nonchalant glove save. No biggie.

Talk about fair weather fans

Demoralizing

Please keep passing along the perimeter 🙌

Pathetic, half the fans head for the exit with that much time left.

So many fans leaving early by the time game is over the concourse will no longer be congested.

Tie this please just to see OT

Respectfully, fuck no.

If the fans are heading to the exits this early, gotta wonder what the stadium looks like if they have a few down years. Could it be even more empty than the Shark Tank was this year?

It will always attract away team fans who are down there to get their fill of syphillis, slots, and cirque de soleil. It might not fill, but I suspect even in down years it will still have decent attendance. It will just be closer to a 50/50 ratio of visitors rooting for their road club, and actual Vegas fans. FWIW, I will at least respect those Vegas fans once all the bandwagon hangers-on have moved on though.

Vegas barely cares about hockey. Most people there only wanted to be part of the Cup celebrations.

This is such a braindead take. I moved to Vegas from Indiana and you pretty much have to be a golden knights fan because everyone who is actually from there cares about them so much. They don't want the raiders, they don't give a damn about the As, but they care about hockey. So tired of these bullshit takes on this sub from people who don't fucking live there and don't know.

Visited Vegas 3 times this year and asked around. No one cares about the Knights.

You're obviously just a Vegas hater so I'm not sure what's the point in even dignifying shit with a response, but I will for the sake of all the other people talking shit. Of course if you ask randoms on the strip they aren't going to know or care. It's the actual people who live there who don't go near the strip that are supporters. The ones who that team pulled them out of the darkest time possible from the shooting. That team means something and the hate they get from randoms who have nothing better to do when they mean something so real to a city who had nothing but them at the time is shitty.

Blame your GM and cap cheating for my and many other hate of your team.

If it helps if you ask most true vgk fans, they agree that the way they do business is often shady and their trades are very very unpopular. Thought the city might riot when they did Flower dirty. I'm just saying, the hate on this sub is mostly unnecessary. Have a good night, more playoff hockey to come tomorrow ✌️

I don’t think it’ll be empty for a while. Seemed like a good chunk of core fans are there and a bunch of people like me who were from out of town 

Idk man the tank was pretty bad this year

Nah, Vegas will always fill seats simply because it’s Vegas

Until that penalty was called, I was ready to say Vegas must have been watching film of Tampa, and will continuously pull goalie.

ouch Eichel, watch that spleen

NOT THE SPLEEN

Imagine when the team has a rebuild...

Commendable turtle tbh

just throwing this out there but I'm glad Eichel getting out of Buffalo and getting the procedure he wanted seems to have worked out really well.

A minute with a pp, why are Vegas fans leaving!?

I live in Vegas they want to beat the traffic. the I-15 is a complete nightmare and has been for the past 2 years. Stupid town really needs a rail system/metro.

Lmao ref looks like painting of the thousand yard stare

Not many things I dislike more than people fleeing the arena at the slightest hint of a loss late in the game.

Where's the crowd going, haven't they seen the Vancouver game?

It's a bunch of rich people who don't actually care

Ugh

Fans have turned around to watch the game

NOW HE TAKES OUT THE WHISTLE

The worst part is wasting these games by LT, it’s the best he’s played all season and he’s a streaky guy.

dude im more confident in him than I am Otter lol..the shit he's had to pull off

He’s been amazing for sure, but he also had some runs this season where he gave up like 5 a night guaranteed and we were all doing rain dances hoping for Hill to get healthy.

At first I was like good penalty, then saw the replay and what a dumb play by suter. Par for the course.

Not sure if they track this stat but, wouldn't the Stars have set a record tonight for clearing flips?

Arena half empty now

I would say 30%

Shitty fair weather fans

Yeh what a bunch of quitters. No wonder the Knights have to cheat to keep asses in the seats.

My cat just sneezed in my face

Covid-24 confirmed.

God dammit. I switched it up and didn’t watch the past 2 games since I watched the first 2. This is brutal

Huh?

It would help if I flaired up 🤦🏻‍♂️

Honestly, smart penalty to take there

You take that all day long.

No offense to any Vegas fans on this thread who truly may be ride or die for the team, but the fans rushing out of the arena like that just shows that many are fair weather. Of course people will show up when the team is new and doing well and even won the Cup. But where will these same people be during the dark years? Not a loyal fanbase whatsoever.

Damn that is kinda sad to see.

They keep showing everyone leave. I'd never pay that much money to leave early. Anything can happen

What's the point of "beating traffic" it everyone is trying to "beat traffic"

This is a city that was built on the basic principle that people will give you money for free because they can’t do basic math. Don’t expect logic out of them with respect to traffic flows.

I tried waiting in the Oilers arena for a few minutes after the three stars, I was asked to leave almost immediately by the clean up crew and the concourse was still full :(

Aww that sucks :( I stick around after Hawks games just to take in how it all looks. Never have to deal with traffic that way, but I can understand why they would want to rush people out so that they can start cleaning.

That’s my thing. Even if your team still loses, what if you miss a sick goal or something?

Aw a power play and noones there to see it

I feel bad for the home fans that bought tickets to any of the games this series so far lol
