  1. drop-cord

    Big W, 4-2 with goals from amadio, eichel, hanifin!

  2. CrazySwine

    I, for one, could go for a big time win tonight

  3. I will politely request the biggest of W’s tonight for our boys

  4. Valkkorr

    A great passing play to score a goal? Don’t wake me up if I’m dreaming!

  5. lonewolf210

    First time getting to watch a game live in a while and a good way to start

  6. joey_1324

    Holy shit coming out and playing from in front right away I didn’t know we still had that ability

  7. RestlessInVegas

    That passing tho 🚨

    ![gif](giphy|9WXyFIDv2PyBq)

  8. Antichristopher4

    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?

  9. Vegas_Golden_Refs

    I really hate how much we love giving shorties.

  10. RoombaArmy

    I can’t put into words how much our PP makes me vomit.

  11. buzzinggibberish

    You know that has to piss Bruce off so bad lmao

  12. FlurriesofFleuryFury

    “fan caught a puck” cut to the dude clutching a towel to his head fuck man hockey be like that

  13. 2min4roughing

    Let’s settle down the game, get some discipline, and we can win, need these points

  14. FridayCicero702

    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.

    ⚔️ 🍕 ⚔️

  15. IrishICEE

    We are going to win this game. Team has played too well to lose. We got this !!

  16. holy666diver

    VGK playing hard. Keep up the hits. Get it!!!!!

  17. Wow this period has been refreshing. This has been full on VGK identity

  18. CoolOpotamus

    I love Brett Howden
    All my homies love Brett Howden

  19. Steve_Hunts96

    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

  20. IrishICEE

    I’m going w a Eichel or Hanifin GWG !! Go Knights Go boys !!

  21. FlurriesofFleuryFury

    # RECKLESS FUCKING OPTIMISM

    **WE ARE ONLY DOWN BY ONE.**

  22. Waffeln_Remix

    Good job, Hutton! You also look kinda like Austin powers. So good job twice!

  23. kingfishyjr

    Koleslaw has been phenomenal this game, holy shit

  24. FridayCicero702

    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

  25. EnricoMatassaEsq

    Someone needs to gif that Hutton wink and caption it with “yeah baby”

  26. 2min4roughing

    Can Stanley Cup Champ Adin Hill please make his return to play off form now

  27. crline3924

    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

  28. Steve_Hunts96

    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.

  29. Smashthecrown

    It hard to say but if we lose this, it seems like it’s on hill

  30. 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

  31. PhoenixRoadrunners82

    Hill has been off since he came back from injury. I don’t know wtf is up with him.

  32. I knew it wasn’t gonna be definitive enough, but I appreciate Cassidy going for that challenge
