Big W, 4-2 with goals from amadio, eichel, hanifin!
I, for one, could go for a big time win tonight
I will politely request the biggest of W’s tonight for our boys
#MARCH-ASSAULT UNDERWAY!!
A great passing play to score a goal? Don’t wake me up if I’m dreaming!
First time getting to watch a game live in a while and a good way to start
#FLAIR EARLY ON! What a beautiful play!
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO
Holy shit coming out and playing from in front right away I didn’t know we still had that ability
That passing tho 🚨

I figured it out! Vegas just needs to sign very short deals so EVERYONE can have a 40 goal contract year.
That’s how it works, right?
I really hate how much we love giving shorties.
I can’t put into words how much our PP makes me vomit.
We do better on 5v5
You know that has to piss Bruce off so bad lmao
“fan caught a puck” cut to the dude clutching a towel to his head fuck man hockey be like that
Let’s settle down the game, get some discipline, and we can win, need these points
Last time we were down in a game I decided to leave to visit Pizza Rock in downtown Las Vegas and by the time I came home we were leading and eventually won that game.
I shall return later and hope a victory will be considered extra toppings.
⚔️ 🍕 ⚔️
It’s pathetic how bad our PP is
Are people booing the PP?
We are going to win this game. Team has played too well to lose. We got this !!
VGK playing hard. Keep up the hits. Get it!!!!!
FUCK YEAH HOWDEN
Thank you Howden!
I LOVE HAVING AN NHL 4TH LINE AGAIN
# GO IN YOUR HOME PUCK
Wow this period has been refreshing. This has been full on VGK identity
I love Brett Howden
All my homies love Brett Howden
Good on Howden to get us back to even!
Now… time to take this game completely over. No bull shit 3rds tonight, only dominance!
#༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ VGK TAKE MY 3RD PERIOD ENERGY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
I’m going w a Eichel or Hanifin GWG !! Go Knights Go boys !!
# RECKLESS FUCKING OPTIMISM
**WE ARE ONLY DOWN BY ONE.**
# 4TH LINE KEEPING US ALIVE LETS GO HUTTY!
Good job, Hutton! You also look kinda like Austin powers. So good job twice!
Koleslaw has been phenomenal this game, holy shit
Just got home after leaving for pizza while being down 1-2.
I come back to my television and witness a VGK tying goal.
I think I should just go stand outside until this game is over. Let’s freakin’ win this!
#GKG
Someone needs to gif that Hutton wink and caption it with “yeah baby”
Can Stanley Cup Champ Adin Hill please make his return to play off form now
Seems like Jack is consistently putting the puck in the right place for a goal but EVERYONE else isn’t processing at the same speed as him
IM SORRY, HOW WAS THAT NOT A TRIP REFS?
Tripping is acceptable apparently
If Vegas loses this game, I want Adin on the bench for a while. He clearly needs to sit and readjust himself, because he has not been him lately.
It hard to say but if we lose this, it seems like it’s on hill
Put LT in, let Hill sit and think.
Rest of the team played well. Fourth line played great. Gonna have to start thinking winning out is necessary
Cassidy an MVP if he gets this one.
Hill has been off since he came back from injury. I don’t know wtf is up with him.
I knew it wasn’t gonna be definitive enough, but I appreciate Cassidy going for that challenge
Props to Cass for fucking real
