Vegas Golden Knights crush Pittsburgh Penguins as Mark Stone’s return sparks a renewed playoff push. Is Vegas poised to reclaim dominance in the Pacific Division after a 6-2 blowout and key losses by rivals Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers?
Tony Dasco and Chris Gawlik dissect the Golden Knights’ elevated intensity, spotlighting Pavel Dorofeyev’s breakout performance alongside Mitch Marner and Tomas Hertl. The duo scrutinizes Bruce Cassidy’s revamped line combinations, Aiden Hill’s goaltending strategy, and defensive chemistry. With insight into VGK’s momentum, they preview the pivotal matchup against Chicago Blackhawks, examine Blackhawks’ trade shakeups, and react to fan-driven “What the Friday” moments, from goalie goal near-misses to Dorofeyev’s new Gordie Howe nickname.
Will this lineup adjustment power the Golden Knights’ resurgence, strengthen their defense, and unleash offense against their rivals?

Pacific is a weak division – Avs and Dallas are stong teams & VGK is average
Vegas is fine take it easy get healthy before playoffs then put ur body on the line
Mitch been great for Vegas since Olympic got over
Cassidy explained how Hill will be used. I was at the game. Most of the shots Pitt had were on the PP. They were mostly one and done. We played solid defense. Hill saw the puck. The shot total really didn't indicate at all with the pressure. We had 17 shots and most of them were quality.
Mini Ovi is a better name for Dorofeyev especially after those fighting tactics. Vegas might have to add a fighting coach.
Tony like the Municipal sweat shirt. Awesome product (Mark Wahlberg)
i am waiting for the show when chris calls me out for being right about everything. evvvvvvrrrrrrrythiiiiiiing. 🙂 luv ya.
Who cares what it took? The "lights" are back on!!! KEEP 'EM ON! GO KNIGHTS GO!!!! OH Captain, our Captain!!! Welcome back!!!
Good game last night. We still had many face palm moments last night. Passing directly to the stick of a Penguin happened more than a few times. These simple turnovers need to be eliminated, or at least minimized if we want any hope of moving forward.
Question. How many points does Riley Smith have? How many points does kolasar have? Riley has shown he will do what ever you need him to do, play Wing, center. I would love to see the 4th line stick in a few more goals.
I saw that McCrimmon says Karlsson is on LTIR but not season-ending LTIR. He says he will return in the playoffs but that the Golden Knights must have at least some success for him to be able to come back.
So hopefully that’s soon.
I need to see more than one game to believe the problem is solved. I do like the lines tho
Do you think faceoff problems become our Achilles heal?
Let's hope this game is not a FLASH IN THE PAN ? Maybe it a unforeseen winning run comming ! Time will tell . 😉😉😉😉
I loved the new 4th line, or is it a 3rd line? Sissons, Howden, and Bowman are an awesome line. Hertle was a bit off last night but the line did well. Hill seems to be improving, life is good.
