I thought Kadri looked as good as any forward in the league late in that series. And I had no idea who the fuck that was until last week. 

the avs are going to be good for a while.  I hope we take advantage of that series win.

We needed a shutout after that last series.  We can win shootouts or low scoring games. I like it.

But he also gets lost defensively. Two goals including the game winner came from him watching the puck and not his man.

They don't look as fast as the Avs, and they don't hit as hard as the Flames.

Maybe they just had an off night.  But I wasn't terribly impressed by their defense.  I was, however, very impressed by their goaltending.  That kept Vegas in the game, and it's going to win them some games in this series.

This is what I said to some buddies as well. 

Happy to win a low scoring game against these guys

No. They seemed slow getting back. We also weren't very surgical on offense, though. Seemed to be a little too hesitant but good keeping will make you do that I suppose.

Game probably should have been 2 or 3 to 1 or so.

It was their 3rd game in 4 nights including a tense game 7 and they were short their emotional and physical leader. They're going to be much tougher and I think faster in game 2. They were worn out as Vancouver did the Stars a solid by taking it to 7

Eh. It was our 5th game in 8 nights. We went to 7 too. It was an intense game too. Not sure either team can use being "worn out" as an excuse for game 1.

Reaves is a big part of their team but I wouldn’t call him their emotional or physical leader. He’s a third-line guy at best in their lineup.

Vegas is nowhere near as explosive as Colorado.

Great game. Now watch Reaves as he boards Miro and Klinger next game and try to injure them. Refs better not swallow their whistles in that dirty SOB

I’m not particularly sympathetic to claims of being worn out this year. Everybody is facing the same challenges; the Stars had a similar schedule.

If Vegas is worn out, then the conclusion is that they are fragile. Guys who are tired are more easily injured. And a team that can’t overcome the loss of a third-line forward isn’t going to recover from a more significant injury.

Personally, I don’t buy the “worn out” assertion. I think it’s more of just an off night that could’ve happened regardless of the rest.

Impressed with how the Stars can win close ones. The seventh one goal win in 10 wins in the bubble. 

Must be nerve-wracking being a Dallas fan.

Difference is they had a back to back games 6 and 7 and the Stars didn't. When turning around that quickly to gave 1 it makes difference. They will look faster and more physical game 2

They will but that's because they don't want to go down 0-2.  0-2 means you have to win 4 of the next 5.  this is a huge game for vegas.

I believe I heard in Vegas' last 3 games, if you take away the 2 empty net goals they scored, they have exactly ONE GOAL against an opposing net minder.

At what point does that start to get into their heads.

And as we saw in the last series, the Stars' net minder is not exactly standing on this head.

I hope that was due to how potent and high flying the Avs' offense was and he can get back to playing good. Once the goals started coming in about game 3 (I think), I texted my cousin who is a die hard hockey fan (I defer to him on hockey) and he said he was not worried about him because of how good the Avs offense was and they would make any goalie look worse than what he really is. He looked back to form last night. Let's see if that can continue.

Also, give me a 1-0 nailbiter than these 5-4 games any day of the week. Last night was amazing!

Whoever pissed in Benn's Cheerios before Game 1, needs to repeat the process.

To that point, he was better against the less-deadly Flames with a 2.6 GAA in 5 games, but he wasn’t a world beater. 
Vegas is a very proficient scoring team, though not as deadly as the Avs and it’s all a lack of the Avs’ speed. They are a really good all around team though, and while I think Colorado was better Vegas is very good. I’d like Dobby to be nails, but if we revert to the offensive machine we’ve been, it won’t matter. The thing is, we can win in multiple ways and I’m not sure Vegas can. 
Let's not forget, we faced some sub par goalies in the first to rounds.

7 more wins. Staring tonight. 

Vegas predictably looks faster and getting to spots quicker. Have to weather it and step up the intensity. First goal is going to be much bigger this series than the last. 

Synced up the ticket stream so I can listen to Razor and Bogorad, makes the commercial breaks interesting. Nothing like listening to a good contractors list spot over a call of duty commercial

So reaves can just cross check as much as he wants apparently

I’m just glad they didn’t then call klingberg for giving a couple back. 

Pretty even first. We should have had some good looks but just couldn't get the puck in the spots it needed to be. 

Hopefully we weathered some of their early energy. Dob looks very settled and had a couple good saves. 

That was what I was trying to post. Hilarious. Just don't know how to imbed the twitter 

Just clearing the puck is a minor miracle much less being able to set up any semblance of an offensive display

Alright. We've got em right where we want em.
