  1. UnhealthyCheesecake

    Being an AHL goalie must be crazy, you wake up one day facing prospects and old dudes, and the next, you’re out there tasked with beating a team on a 17 game point streak

  2. UnhealthyCheesecake

    VGK against regular opponents: i sleep

    VGK against teams with massive streaks: *real shit*

  3. appledatsyuk

    Team is looking incredible this first period. We can beat anyone playing like this

  4. ketamine_and_chill

    “LeT ThEm KnOw ThE PrEdS ArE oN FiRe”

  5. UnhealthyCheesecake

    Hey just a friendly reminder that this team is going to be ADDING Tomas Hertl

  6. UnhealthyCheesecake

    Starting a crowdfunding campaign so we can collectively pay for the re-signing of Noah Hanifin

  7. 2min4roughing

    So wait, are we back, I think we’re back,
    It feels like we’re back

  8. RestlessInVegas

    Hot take: we should have more first periods like this.

  9. SiiirPatski

    Holy fuck Patera is proving himself tonight with these insane saves!

  10. Vegas_Golden_Refs

    We might be 3-0 but the star has been Patera 2 insane saves back to back.

  11. UnhealthyCheesecake

    Who would win:

    The hottest team in the NHL

    OR

    One Pa(n)tera boi

  12. EnricoMatassaEsq

    Patera is playing like a man possessed. I say hot damn!

  13. Wafflemonster2

    Dirty Golden Knights are taking advantage of the league by utilising the infinite vezina tier goalie glitch

  14. buzzinggibberish

    Don’t worry Jiri, you’ve been great

  15. RestlessInVegas

    Hell yeah!!!!

    ![gif](giphy|PjIHy9W2w087zGZlNc|downsized)

  16. joey_1324

    This might be smokin hot take, but I don’t care: Hanifin is pretty fucking great

  17. TheGiantRascal

    Patera has been fucking astounding tonight. I missed the goal Nashville got, cause I figured we were doing good enough that I could leave for a minute to take a squeege, but then that happened while I was gone.

  18. Wafflemonster2

    That hug from Hanafin to Karlsson after that goal looked pretty damn genuine for a guy that’s been on this team for like a month.

    Our charming, loveable Swedish boy has already worked his magic and Hanafin will be signing with us for a $6/8yr because it would pain him to be separate from Wild Bill

    CONFIRMED

  19. TruthfulAJ

    Wow.

    TV: here’s a great shot of offsides.

    Ref: lol nope

  20. FloralDemon

    Nothing like some butt clenching VGK hockey. Reckless Optimism back up to 11.

  21. Vegas_Golden_Refs

    From a 3 goal lead to start praying we get at least 1 point.

  22. 2min4roughing

    We should not be sitting at 4-4 right now
