njbuff Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 You gotta think the clock strikes midnight for Vegas now, don’t you? We have been saying that forever though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclc79 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 The game's opening analysis by Eddie O put the burden squarely on Holtby's shoulders, and he did not disappoint. WSH got the steal in Vegas that they needed. It actually is a series. Who wants to watch the same old basketball anyway. BORING!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 1-1 against a team that’s known to choke. Not time to say it’s over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Awesome game yet again. I have a feeling the Caps take Game 3 too, and then Vegas ties it up in Game 4. Love how even it's been so far, and the physicality has been great too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher72 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Caps have paid their dues, VGK have not. Id' like to see the Caps win it all this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Vegas story, but for the record I'm rooting for the Caps to win it all, that's the kind of photo that if I ever met Holtby I'd love to have him sign. EDIT: Also just as aside since he's in the photo and it made me think of it, the adult league I play in is in Baldwinsville, NY, which is Alex Tuch's hometown. If the Knights won the series I'd imagine the Cup makes an appearance about 25 minutes away from my house.

titans04 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 man is he going to regret not raising that puck, he had the entire net open and Holtby wouldn't of be able to get it raised off the ice. Works for me though the longer the series the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it stays flat on the ice it would have gotten under the stick/blocker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sets hockey apart from many other sports: one guy can certainly steal a game, a very hot goalie. And we have two in this series! Does the NBA have this? I don't think so! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for me though the longer the series the better. I can't fault Tuch for that. The puck was rolling and on edge when it got to him. I'm sure he thought to just get it off his stick as quickly as possible before Holtby had a chance to recover. But that is a moment where, if Vegas loses, people on both sides will never forget it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Listen, it can't be that easy, as we have seen other goalies make that play or similar. It LOOKS like a 100% goal shot, but clearly, that's not the case. Here's a bunch of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Never said it was easy, I'm sure it's not but he had the top 90% of the net open. I would also bet if asked he would say the same thing. In the end Holtby makes a game saving save and we're headed for a longer series which ultimately is all I care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclc79 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Who will be the hot goalie tonight? I would guess both will be making great saves, but one save will stand out. And this is so much better than King James (and his shorts suit, lol!!) and KD and Steph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Ovii has taken a lot of grief over the years. If the Caps win it all, I’ll be happy for them, even though we are supposed to hate Washington. Not counting Vegas out yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclc79 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Can Vegas rebound after being outplayed in game 3? Part of their problem is a PP that has not been all that good in this series. A few PP goals could change the dynamic in a big hurry. And MAF is still competing; their D needs to watch those giveaways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ELIAS6 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Vegas is going to be competitive beyond this season, I would like to see ovi win his cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
