I still see Nikishin's ceiling as crazy high, even though he looked like a rookie at times, which he is. I would want to hang onto and watch that learning curve a little while longer. Even with his occasional clunky shifts, he has shown the poise to recover from his own mistakes. And his passing...

Kotkanemi is such a puzzle. You have to figure he's not a lazy malcontent because if he was, he would have been gone a while ago. Was this just an instance of where his effort does not translate to the style demanded of him? I mean when has anybody ever said, "nice pass by KK"? He's physically...

Still not enough respect for Slavin, but ok. There's always next year,

That Vegas "fan base" is about as real as that phony city they play in. Fake crowd noise, mass exodus before the Cup is even awarded. We threw a blanket over them and there was NO home team advantage in the stands to even give them any encouragement. Aho was fantastic at the dot last night, what...

If we can survive the first 10 minutes, I like our chances.

Unless you're a pouty whiner like Mikko. or a tax expert like Jake, or a Fox on Broadway.

Or Adam Lee Decker, for the performance he hopefully won't have to deliver.

Canes will dress 3 goalies and Pyotr will get a game misconduct for fighting during the warm ups.

With 2 days off and a full practice, everything is on the table. I would not be surprised to see some juggling on the blue line. I see Nikishin unable to effectively defend or move the puck in some situations, so pairing him with another offensive guy in Ghost, I dunno, looks like Vegas is...

Bussi was great, but his puck handling still gives me jitters, and extended shifts in our zone. There were a couple last night. How's Pyotr feeling?

talk about putting a team on his back. Sheer will.

Had to watch the highlights this morning to make sure this really happened. Boy, do I wish I could get the Canadian Sportsnet feed for this series. Those folks really know how to call a game. Vegas being forced to play with 4 1/2 D was key, you could see Hanifin and the others gasping for air...

Seems Jarvis is hurt or nursing some ailment, (ok, who isn't?) I'd flip him with Ehlers, it seems like he can still backcheck. and would not affect the existing chemistry too much. But, we lost Game 1 last series too, so I guess we'll see. Love how the pre game heads were predicting a low...

boy that Sean Mc Donough, what a hockey encyclopedia.

The hockey realist in me sees some adversity for the Canes in this series. But the hockey fan in me is hoping for the continuation of this undeniably historic postseason run. The match ups at center will be interesting tonight because I think that's the one edge Vegas may have. An "on paper"...

wow Rod looks to become first ever to reach final as player and coach with same team since expansion era.

Batten down the hatches, they will come out hard. Pretend like it's a road game, stay patient, survive the first 10 minutes. I like our chances.

Habs are a step (and a half) quicker. Which kinda makes sense.
