Vegas must have been fucking around during the regular season because they are not playing like an 8 seed.

Probably won the cup, hard to keep the defensive intensity for 82 games but they are a really good fucking defense and they ramped it up.

Oettinger fucking sucks. Gives up 2 pathetic shots while Thompson is a fucking brick wall

The first shot was basically unsaveable and he was screened by his own defender. The second shot he probably shouldve had, but that was still a hell of a shot.

Combination of getting some guys like Stone and Pietrangelo back for playoffs and being able to flip the switch for the Cup defense. I didn’t think Thompson was this good.

No shit. They are the defending champs. Houston was a tough out in 95 also.

Dude has been a goal stopping machine all year when he is "on". And he is most certainly "on" this series.

Thompson had made 20 more difficult saves.

Otter is not making any of the ridiculous stops you usually need to win playoff games when guys fuck up in front of you.

If any of the players could elevate the fucking puck on a breakaway, this game would've been over halfway through the second period and all goalie discussion would be moot.

we have no idea how to do that.  every shot goes right into his leg pads.   buncha chokers.

the move to the backhand on the last breakaway was just a give up.  had zero chance.

I still can't believe Roope didn't finish which led to the shorty.  He's probably 90% in that situation and on a cold streak we haven't seen from him.  I was convinced he had been injured but certainly not there.  Just unbelievable.  We would have a 3 or 4 goal lead if Thompson wasn't playing great OR we just fucking finish like we have all damn season.  But fuck it.  A 1 goal win is the same as a 6 goal win.  Get composed, play your game, and just fucking win.

Let's talk about why Seguin cant elevate a puck, why Pavs is playing like a plank of wood, and where the actual fuck is Roope?

Seguin is a shell of his former self. Pavs is just old. Roope is on a six or seven-game scoring drought. That cannot happen.
Otter just can’t make the saves you need in the playoffs. 

This is two postseasons in a row that this has been the case. Disturbing trend.

Don’t think so.

Razor was saying we are basically playing 5 defensemen. Lundquisr has like 2 min TOI. Did he get hurt or are we double shifting Miro?

It was kind of a joke in that he disappeared for the last 2 periods.  I think deboer must not trust lundqvist.

I have zero faith that we are going to beat Thompson before they find a way to put one past Otter. The guys we need to score — Roope, Duchene, Pavs, etc — just haven’t been able to get it done this series.
