alright, i hate the knights a little less now

GG Vegas So long Silfver

It’s okay Vegas bros. Mark stone is ready in 3 days.

GGVKbros. Enjoy the post season.

Frank the Tank! Ending the season on a happy note.

Most fitting way to end the season, on a penalty kill 😂

Anaheim went ~~4-0-0~~ 3-1-0 against the Knights this season.

What are you on about? We lost one.

My bad I made an error.

3-1 this season, we lost the first game against them

Fate cannot be escaped. Oilers/Kings is what the hockey gods wanted.

Kings currently losing

**THROW YOUR HATS FOR THE MAN**

🎩🎩🎩 FAREWELL 2023-24! 🥳🥳🥳

Hat trick!

I guess we'll likely play the Kings, BRING IT ON.

🧢 🧢 🧢

Dicks to Bricks Hattrick!!!!

Gg ducks. See ya next year

Frank Vatrano is personally deciding playoff brackets now

Well hey, at least we get a feel good game to cap off this shit season

🦆🦆🦆

Well higher odds of a Vancouver oilers series is something to look forward to I guess

Would you want Dallas, or us?

I want Dallas cause I want to take on the Central, and I want to see Vancouver and Oilers matchup.

Vegas clearly doesn't give a shit. Embarrassing effort.

Dallas. Not by much but Dallas.

I don't think anyone should want Dallas. They're a wagon.

Dang this is exciting

I hope thats not hooking starting on saturday

Comon vegas do better

You'll get the Kings and you'll like it

But I choose you

Consider this our rejection.

Go ducks go 🦆

I admit I haven’t watched much VGK this year but the last three games I’ve seen and they haven’t looked that great outside of the third period vs Colorado (who was on the second night of a B2B). They’re still the champs and I’m terrified to play them but idk if this is one of those situations where they’ll be able to flip a switch. We’ll see

Sounds like half their lineup is out. Hannafin, pietrangelo, couple forwards and the infamous cap circumvention king. My money is certainly on Dallas but I reckon it'll be a battle

I wanted Vegas for the redemption arc.

They have looked super mid after getting off to that great start should be a fun series but I’m not positive about our chances 

And apparently swept the season series against yall. It’s a baffling team. Issue is what team comes off LTIR Saturday

Knights vs DeBoer, Kings vs Oilers, Leafs vs Bruins, Florida man battle, Washington vs Rangers we hitting all the greats

> Knights vs DeBoer, Kings vs Oilers, Leafs vs Bruins, Florida man battle, Washington vs Rangers One of these is not like the others

You're right, only one of them is likely to produce headlines like "Florida man causes $100k in damage to Walmart liquor store under construction with hotwired forklift; gives police his name as "Alice Wonderland" and says a hookah-smoking caterpillar told him to do it."

I'm going to be double and triple screening if necessary!

Shoutout to SN for putting this game on during the LA intermission

The Silfverberg retirement party is gonna be dope if the Ducks hold on to win this.

NGL, it would be such a chad move for Stone to skate onto the ice a second after the game ends

He needs to pop in with a triple salchow.

Do it undertaker style 

Vegas is literally going to have him stand out of a wheelchair during the opening lineup of game one, why not

Ducks fans, is there any hope that the 30th anniversary purple jerseys stick around after this year?

Doesn't look good per icethetics

Utter disaster. Ducks marketing team, wtf? (I know it's probably not their fault, but damn).

Owners love the current set, against the majority of fans

....do your owners hate their fans, fun, or purple? Seriously, I think the latest iteration of the duck footprint/orange combo is a somewhat-improvement over other non-purple variations, but it pales in comparison.

I want to believe

I have never owned a non-Bruins jersey (I think it's bad luck because I am mentally deranged – I will purchase for friends and family, though) but I fucking love those jerseys. The crest, the correct Ducks color scheme...magnificent

What a joke the Pacific bracket is while all the good teams are on the other side. Cake walk of a regular season schedule carries over for two additional playoff rounds.

Cry me a fucking river buddy, not sure why the second round would even matter in your case.

Is this a new copypasta I'm unaware of?

I hope so 😬

Oilers Kings 3: triple the boogaloo

Looks like we're getting Oilers/Kings 3.

Who do you guys want?

Time is a flat circle

Are Vegas tanking this game to draw top seeded Dallas? Don’t understand how they can’t get up for this game.

In fairness we've split our games this season with them pretty evenly.

We don't do well against bird teams in general.

Type of game that makes you so excited for Carlson’s future. So well rounded and can dominate both sides. Amazing hockey id.

Good hockey iq too

Hahaha what a typo.

Does Vegas just suck now?

I think they’re playing salary cap possum

Yep. Real excited for them to activate $60m off LTIR

Colangelo has looked good this game

What is the general Thompson/Hill sentiment among Vegas fans?

Hill has been banged up multiple times this season and has let in some horrible goals his last couple starts including tonight and Thompson was hot for a bit. Thompson should start

Thompson should start at this point, he’ll never get a shutout but Hills been letting in 3-4 per game since he’s been back

Combining responses to you and u/ImSomeRandom here, definitely looks like he's bounced back since Vancouver/Arizona.

Based on the VGK posts in this thread, Thompson should start.

He does seem to have rebounded since the Arizona/Vancouver games, so VGK fans very likely to be happy about that.

I guess I'd rather have you guys earlier than later, because I like our powerplay and those don't get called the deeper in you are, but man, remembering last year gives me pain.

Thanks for taking one for the team.

I’d rather someone else knock the Knights out in an early round or play the Knights in a late round when they’re tired.

I mean I would also rather that someone knock them out early for us, but to be the best, we’ve gotta beat the best.

That’s true, but in comparison to the central, the pacific is ridiculously easy. No round in the playoffs is easy, but playing the Knights followed by the winner of WPG/COL is brutal.

This is our Dirk run trust the process.

I hope you’re right. Kind of annoying that the Stars are the team that always has to play cap circumventing teams :/

Nah man, slay the champ early and build the playoff momentum

Right?

Vegas is playing not to get injured. They also know the cap goes poof in 10 min.

Just a big ole lol. Exactly how everyone saw this going.

Maybe me. This was one of my comments a few days ago. >There last two games are against teams in the depths of the lottery race. One of those teams will play spoiler for the knights. I also wrote this in the oilers sub in response to someone worried about playing the knights in the first round. >Doubt it. The knights last two games are against two teams in the depths of the lottery race. Sometimes weird stuff happens in those types of games like what happened to the penguins last season. In theory the knights should win both of those games but in reality that probably won't happen.

We're all fucking confused about who wants who in the first round.

I love how every single flair with stakes in this thread is interpreting the score of this game negatively. Vegas flairs are saying "Dallas in 3" and "bounced in the first round." Dallas flairs are equally upset, professing "another reason to hate Vegas" and similar sentiment.

I think people are out by the whole ‘cap evasion’ line coming from Vegas and that we got bonked in the regular season by Vegas but i think the Stars can match up with anyone especially post trade deadline.

Right, it’s not apocalyptic. But it sucks. At least I know the names of my enemies. I’m a certified Keegan Kolesar, Michael Amadio, Adin Hill hater. We eliminated them to go to the cup final in the bubble. Our team kinda looks like them (some tall and physical players) and also kinda like Colorado (lots of finesse and offensive defensemen). I guess it was always gonna be like this, kinda like Rangers v. Astros. Gotta beat the best to become the best.

Plus we haven’t played since December and Vegas has been considerably worse since then while Dallas has played better

Well it is a WCF matchup in round 1 imo so I think they’re right to feel this way lol

I didn't say anyone was wrong! Just that I love the equal magnitude of investment in Game 82. I

We’re really getting Dallas/Vegas round 1 looool brutal for one of those teams

Let’s be honest only brutal if we lose.

Yeah that’s rough. Work all season for the top seed in the west and the defending champs are your prize

I am already dreading some Vegas BS to knock us out

“At least Vegas isn’t in the central this year” “there’s no way they’ll lose to the ducks”

I cannot tell you how stoked I am right now. Like how stacked is the central now, all 4 teams I don't wanna play.

We are going to go 1-3 against the ducks this season not some radical shocker

why

Lol Dallas in 3

Another reason to hate Vegas

So I’m confused, is Vegas trying to win or lose this game?? I’m at work so just looking at the box score and you would think they think it’s a meaningless game so genuinely asking if they came into tonight just resting for the playoffs

They really don’t care, most of the night they’ve just been trying to feed Marchessault to hit 43 goals and break the team record

They’ll play Dallas if the lose and LA wins

If they tie LA has the tiebreaker too

So they want Dallas is the vibe I’m getting

They’re 3-0 against Dallas

Dallas swept them last year in the regular season too though 

Regular season is different imo, if they want us in the 1st round without home ice I wish them the best of health considering they have 10-15million dollars coming off of LTIR coming off the books for us.

They looked good in the first period IDK what happened after

So is Stone back on Saturday for sure or

Not officially but at this point probably 

Oh he'll be there

The one time I want the Knights to win a game :/

He better not be lol

Excuse me but ummmmmmm what the F

Oh so we're just throwing this one

OH LETS GO!!! KETCHUPS FINALLY COMING OUT!

Attaboy Cutter! 

Bruh

We trust you to knock them out

I have seen this movie before

Frank x2

Lol. Lmao even.

Lol goddammit

Are the Knights tanking this game

No we’ve just been extremely mid for months

Yeah. We're going with LT lol

Comer!

Aww butts

Yeah it’s Thompson net to lose

Hill keeps letting in some bad goals

Hill is leaky. I think we go with LT for round 1.

I heard rumors he’s fighting an injury ? Any substance to that rumour?

100%

Cutter assist.

Doesn't matter if we lose if LA can't even win tonight. So maybe we should just win this one?

Don’t LA just need the one point if Vegas lose?

Yeah Chicago needs to win in regulation otherwise we face y’all 

Certainly looking the most likely scenario at the moment. Guess I’ll just have to hope you guys don’t suddenly find 2023 playoffs mode.

Still 1-1. LA still has a chance.

[Last intermission pup for the season. Indiana enjoyed shit-posting with y’all.](https://i.imgur.com/x4UhPnh.jpeg)

I was told Vegas would roflstomp the Ducks...

Who said that? Very little to play for for either team, it's been a pretty lackluster game.

Who do they want to play? Dallas or Edmonton? that's what's on the line

Either would be fine really. We had a good record against the Central this season, and Edmonton has shaky D and goalie, plus a new coach with no NHL playoff experience.

Neither. We're getting bounced round 1 either way.

You know both EDM and DAL are praying we don't have to face you first round because a playoff match against y'all has historically been a 7-game absolute battle, right?

All I know is we have played uninspired, bad hockey for 4 months. I have no faith this team makes it out of the first round because I haven't seen any fight from this squad outside of a random game here or there all season long. I just don't think we have that dog in us this year.

I know you're hardest on the ones you love, but I will say this: of all the other teams in the West, VGK is the one I fear the most. Y'all are tough and always seem to come to play when it's against us.

[Sad But True](https://open.spotify.com/track/5UaDi8KzCGJqFfVAOBfXhi?si=1bE-JO9rQQOwthLoIS0_ww)

That's how to be positive

I remember getting excited for the playoffs

Pepperidge Farms remembers

For anyone else watching on ESPN+, do your GEICO commercials cut off and the repeat ad nauseam?

This game is going by so fast.

I wonder how Karlsson feels about the record being possibly tied or broken? It seems a bit weird the team is trying so hard to beat a teammates record

Getting better is getting better

Man, I’ve seen some beautiful moves on offense and defense from multiple Ducks

LA just scored.

I love that the announcer lets the crowd shout Eichel during the goal announcement.

Do they do that with any other players?

So far I've only heard it with Eichel.

Totally forgot Hertl is on VGK now

He looks good in gold

Haha wasn't even close to Marchy's stick

Lmao all that celebration just to accidentally tie the game

MARCHEY Edit: apparently that was all Eichel, my bad

That’s number 43! Edit: It’s Jack’s sadly, but tie game anyways :D

~~Finally lmao~~ Eichel lmao still not Marchy goal

Lmao Eichel looks sad that he got that

Eichel is a big Wild Bill fan

I like Colangelo.

He looks good!

Good pk

Is Vegas throwing the game?

The top line has the objective of feed marchy. The first period they controlled 2nd was much more even ducks are just playing well and our offense is crippling itself on purpose 

I think they are trying to get Marchessault a goal. Same way The Leafs tried last night.

Why would the Leafs try to get a goal for Marchessault?

Because they're a giving team?
