Vegas Golden Knights’ overtime woes strike again as John Tortorella suffers his first loss behind the bench. After building a two-goal lead and watching it evaporate against the Seattle Kraken, VGK couldn’t seal the deal in another heartbreaking shootout. Can the Knights regain their killer instinct before the playoffs, or is their extra-time frustration becoming a fatal flaw?
Tony Dasco and Chris Gawlik spotlight Mark Stone’s standout play, analyze Adin Hill’s shaky goaltending, and question shootout lineup decisions. Colorado Avalanche’s President’s Trophy clinch adds intrigue as VGK faces a potential playoff preview. WTF Friday fires up Silver Knights’ ticket drama, Keegan Kolesar’s nightly role, and laughable player comparisons, while key stats, upcoming matches, and playoff clinching scenarios keep hockey fans locked in. Which Vegas players will step up as postseason pressure mounts?

Dorofeyev has been terrible lately. He is weak on the pucks, turns the puck over constantly and always swings and misses on rebounds. Eichel and Hertl need to contribute goals. The first Hill goal he might had been screened by Lauzon. The second goal a fluke but the 3rd was stoppable. Hill is vulnerable on his high blocker side. Teams know this that is why he always gets beat there. 3 goal posts and missed nets in the first hurt us. Eichel, Dorofeyev stink in shootouts. How about Howden and Hutton? As soon as we went to the shootout we were cooked because Hill has not won a single shootout all season. If Hart was in net it is probably 3-2 VGK victory in regulation. As far as Reilly Smith he is better than Kolesar and Saad. I don’t see what Saads value is? He never scores.
The VGK has to be the worst OT/SO team of all time. If they can't get the job done during regulation, just assume they are going to lose. Eichel had so many chances to score and didn't score in the SO neither. Blowing 2-2goal leads was a big setback here!
Turnovers in goal cost us the game . Should have been a easy WIN ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Another poor outing for Hill should help secure Hart for the remainder of the season and right into the playoffs!!! And still hoping my prediction of Hart as the 1 and Schmid as the 2…
This game was over because we couldn’t score again in the shoot out. 1 goal would have given us the win. The blame goes on stone, Eichel, Theodore, and Dorofeyev. If one of those guys score we would have won.
Eichel has been a turnover machine every game & the side to side passing curse leading to turnovers every time still there.
Aiden Hill is Horrific no need for him to be in back of the net when they are close in- Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
It wasn't Adin Hill's fault (this time).
Great idea Chris, that should be the line celebration ,all Five Guys in the stare down..
Seattle worked their butts off this game, energy level was very high. i wonder if the Kraken see VGK as their arch enemy / biggest rival. They're also not a bad team overall and was in 1st place in the division for 100+ games this year.
