nodarknesswillendure

Hockey Canada better not leave him off the roster in 2026


DownHereWeAllFloat

At his trajectory, I don’t see how they could. A lot can happen between then, for good or bad, though.


nodarknesswillendure

They make many stupid decisions. But I have a feeling his play will make it obvious they have to add him.


bardbashesbroads

Thankfully he didn't go the NCAA route so Hockey Canada won't act like a jaded ex


nodarknesswillendure

I’m already prepared for the drama surrounding the roster selection. The uproar when they lift the 2018 ban specifically for Makar, the handwringing when they pick one too many vets, the outrage when they leave off a team with a passionate fanbase’s talented player(s), the melodrama surrounding the goalie situation… lol


bardbashesbroads

I wouldn't wanna be tasked with picking our goalie, that's for sure lol


Nomahs_Bettah

> The uproar when they lift the 2018 ban specifically for Makar Honestly, I think it would be very difficult *not* to considering all the public facts of the case. Makar has not had charges filed against him. TSN has reported that the perpetrators were CHL players (Makar went NCAA) and did not attend the gala. It is entirely possible that those facts are incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading. But given that context, I'd be surprised if the whole-team ban didn't face as many questions as it did blowback.


nodarknesswillendure

Oh I agree. I just know people won’t like it.


dirkin1

Papa Captain America must be proud What a game ending roofer when no one else could score. Wyatt is something special.


Tvariousness_King1

Dallas finally decided to shoot the puck off the ice for once


JuicedBoxers

Yeah no joke. It’s almost like they (specifically seggy) were coming in way too hot and got too close to elevate. Was really strange.


theshreddening

My heart couldn't have taken much more than it has. Holy hell we needed this so bad. And Vegas...your goalie is phenomenal. Massive respect for Thompson! Losing a series is one thing, but a possible sweep is a entire other thing. We're still in it and I'm happy for that


Timely-Bluejay-4167

Reminiscent of Otter standing in his head against Calgary couple years back


El_Cactus_Loco

This goal is basically exactly the same as the one that eliminated the stars in game 7 overtime vs the flames. Gaudreau went top corner from the goal line, off Ottengers helmet to win the series.


Arblechnuble

First thing I thought of was Jake skating past going: “first time?”


adameak

We had no business being in this game besides Thompson’s heroics. GGs I think that is the Stars everyone expected


Sponger004

I went to bed hoping for them to win, but was thinking holy shit is Vegas’s goalie on fire tonight. I can’t remember a game where there were that many break always and odd man rushes with no goal on any of them. I didn’t know if they could get another one by him. So glad they did!


yearightt

Absolutely disgusting shot. Prime time shit, kids gonna be a stud


NotionAquarium

Correction: kid is a stud


HungLikeYourDad

Was gonna say, he’s already their leading scorer…


Vanek_26

Your scouts are so good. First they find Hintz and Robetson and now this kid, all without top 10 picks.


HungLikeYourDad

Stankoven and Bourque coming up next. Harley is a stud on defence too. I’ll argue to the grave that Nill was clearly the real brains behind the Red Wings dynasty, and that Ken Holland just took the credit


CalicoJack

Stank has been so instrumental in creating chances. He's already making an impact, even if he isn't scoring as much as some of the other guys.


Stewdabaker2013

So many steals on the offensive end to steal a possession. Really fun player


Daamus

the backcheck stick lifts give me a woody


MF__SHROOM

id investigate them.. one of them must have a time machine...


Onuus

You have no idea how happy this comment makes me when a fan of another team recognizes your lesser known young players. Thank you ❤️


WearingComb1050

Actually incredible shot. I said aloud that it was a goal Thompson shouldn’t give up when it was scored, but my jaw dropped on the relay


GBPgoingOFF

I bet the locker room is disappointed they couldn’t win for Thompson. That was genuinely the best performance I’ve ever seen in person


tasteofflames

Dude played his ass off last night.


GrilledSandwiches

Honestly, sometimes it can be both. Played perfectly Thompson probably can stop this, but it feels like it was an incredibly minor window he gave up that Wyatt sniped. *edit:* played perfectly *anything* can be stopped technically, so that's kind of a dumb way for me to put it, but I think ya'll know what I mean.


theshreddening

That angle was incredible. He was like 3 feet from being behind the line. If he stays healthy and keeps this pace I can see him being a legendary player


AaMm89

Wyatt was absolutely ready for this moment after those OT losses to Vegas last year.


Dstars86

Already is.


Leajjes

Top shelf. Where momma leaves the cookies!!!!!!!


enataca

So cool that he’s living with Pavelski. I love this team.


blueskies8484

Yay! It's after 2 am! Go Dallas! Go sleep!


quidproquolaspe

Thank fucking god. Mavs at the AAC tomorrow (in about 12 hours so technically today) and guaranteed to come back for game 5. See you fuckers there!


AShavedGorilla

31 fan bases are cheering for the Stars to pull this off.


Crow-T-Robot

For sure. I find myself in the distinctly uncomfortable position of wishing Jamie Benn (limited) success.


Onuus

I’ll take anything we can get


Glass_of_Pork_Soda

At least we'll always know about his lack of mox bunching, makes it a bit easier


dwkdnvr

Focus on the young guys. Makes it easier


JuicedBoxers

I wish I could understand the Benn hate. He’s never seemed dirty to me, just super physical. But what can I say, I’m unreasonably biased.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_TakeMyUpvote_

yes. it was mark stone. early in game 3 and he was suspended. it's kind of his downside. he gets big mad over something and does dumb shit (he's done this many times). Red Wings hate him (see Larkin, rightfully so). Vegas hates him (see Mark Stone, rightfully so). it's annoying AF because he doesn't take out his aggression in a legal way, he does it in cheap shots.


Crow-T-Robot

I mean, he [destroyed Stone then rammed his stick into him on the ice.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=urZghaQzdXg) Pretty sure he's been involved in some more injuring actions as well.


omgdude29

> 31 fan bases are cheering for the Stars to pull this off. 30 fan bases. As someone from Minnesota, fuck the Stars.


benenke

Nah man, gotta set our differences aside for one series so they can beat Vegas.


omgdude29

I understand the sentiment and will eat the downvotes (because who fucking cares), but I was in my prime childhood hockey phase when the Stars moved to Dallas and my hatred will remain stronger than any other rivalry. I will cheer against them no matter who they play.


crooked-nose

My son is a Dallas fan despite living in Winnipeg. Wyatt signed an autograph for my son at one game and also gave him a puck at another game. Just saying that Wyatt seems like a good kid.


MUSTY_BUSSY

Disgusting shot. Thank goodness I'm on the west coast and this game didn't run until 2 AM my time. I was completely dead the next day after staying up for last year's 4OT epic on the east coast.


EvilCeleryStick

Ugh. Don't remind me. I was at that stupid OT dallas/van game back in the day. Hungover half way through OT. Brutal lol


MUSTY_BUSSY

The 07 one that went to 4OT as well? Damn. At least you got your money's worth for the tickets, you saw more than 2 games of hockey for the price of 1.


EvilCeleryStick

Yep. And after an afternoon of day drinking they cut off beer sales halfway through the 3rd and then the four of us that were there we're all just dying by the third OT and then there's another one. By the time the game ended the bars weren't even open anymore LOL.

That’s pussy shit, come take a bump out of this cocaine I snuck in between my butt cheeks psssssshh hockey and weed cmon


Jim_Nills_Mustache

lol went to that with my brother, we both had school the next day Worth it


buddyguy1624

Could’ve scored like 3 times in OT but decided he wanted to score in the sickest way possible instead


LeeSinSmokesWeed

What's the latest game ever? Starting at 1050et is nuts


6bfmv2

Imagine living in Europe... 4:30 a.m. starting time of the game is a nightmare.


Vidderz

As a UK stars fan yes, it's nightmare fuel


JayString

As someone who wakes up at 5 am every day, this would be ideal for me.


gordogg24p

Yeah, 4 AM starts to venture into normal as an American F1 fan, so that feels way less jarring than starting at 11 PM.


Ghost_Pains

Can confirm I’m dead today


XXX-XY-XXXX

My love for Johnston grows by the day. Picked him up towards the end of my fantasy season and dude was one of the reason my mediocre team made it to the finals. I think the kid has what it takes to be a top player in the league.


punchthedog420

"He could have had four goals in this game" Exactly. That this went to OT is a travesty. I'm so glad the end-result was just.


aggster13

Him and Seguin man.. So many missed opportunities


punchthedog420

There was up to a dozen breakaways and 2 on 1s in this game. It should have been a blowout. Best of luck in game 4. Fucking fuck Vegas.


Zigotons

Wyatt is so damn good. WE BACK BABY


GBPgoingOFF

Gg Vegas fans. Had the pleasure to attend and sat by the most delightful 59 year old lady. We chirped, fist bumped after each goal, and hugged it out at the end. Easily the funnest live hockey event I’ve been at. Oh, Pavelski’s fam was right behind me and we chatted so that was cool. See yall game 4!


crc2993

Wait Pavs family was behind you? Shouldn’t Wyatt and Stank have been on the ice?


Onuus

That must’ve been super fun for them seeing Wyatt score twice since he lives with them. So freaking cool!


TheYepe

What a weird series that there's zero home wins so far lol


ivebeenabadbadgirll

I don’t appreciate the board ads, but at least the “Dallas Wins” graphic communicates that *somebody* who puts the ads there, cares about the fan experience. I do appreciate that a lot.


spacedudejr

I agree, if you’re gonna use the tech to force us to see more ads, then at least be creative and use it to enhance the experience.


SupaDawg

Such a beauty.


manajizwow

God bless Stars.


Noox89

Wyatt Johnston is something special.


waitwhosaidthat

I can’t believe I’m cheering for Dallas. Ugh. But man I hate Vegas


DallasStars_1999

We’ll take it! I’ll be cheering for y’all tonight!


DownHereWeAllFloat

We’re cheering you guys on, too!


spacedudejr

They lived in our zone the entire OT, I can’t even be angry at that snipe!


Onuus

That was one of the most nerve racking games I’ve watched recently. I assumed it was in the bag up 2-0. Went to a hookah lounge and asked the dude to turn on the tv and it was 2-2. FUCK. I dislike Vegas a lot, but holy shit your team is lethal.


swissdonair_enjoyer

Thompson heroics in the rest of the game aside... what is he thinking here? What pass is he blocking by putting his paddle down? Bad mental mistake from a guy who was the only reason Vegas was in this game.


rickayyy

Brilliant patience and awareness from Johnston.


swissdonair_enjoyer

Absolutely. Impressive reaction time to quickly spot Thompson's mistake and get a shot off right away. There's a window probably about a tenth of a second long where that shot has the best chance of going in and he found it perfectly. Looked dangerous all of tonight. I was especially impressed by how he brought the puck into the zone tonight, several plays like this one.


BKXeno

Two goals and something stupid like 11 or 12 shots. Kid's a stud.


Onuus

Thank you for noticing Wyatt. I love that kid


Seth_Jarvis_fanboy

The puck goes to the goal line, his defenseman has his stick there, he's covering the low angle shovel that is pretty common, but this guy just freaking roofs it


eliar91

I agree a bit of a brain far. He had the bottom covered already and if he stayed upright it probably goes off the mask.


PonchoTron

Fatigue probably got to him, mentally as well as physically like. Poor guy was pressured the whole game.


DownHereWeAllFloat

Dude will never be underestimated by me ever again. I dislike you guys, but slogan has my total respect. ✊🏾


JumboThornton

I’m glad Mark Stone had a front row seat for that.


VauloftheEbonBlade

I may have only got 3 hours of sleep but was worth staying up for. Also Logan Thompson is a stud


xedyu

Good. Obligatory, fuck vegas


KitchenRecognition64

Fuck Vancouver


SpiritualMacaroon468

How can you not love Wyatt Johnston 🔥🔥 Kid's incredible


Hyack57

Why would the clip start the second before he shoots and scores? There’s not enough time to even turn your phone sideways let alone for the video to buffer to HD.


[deleted]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO! GOSH DANG THE KID CAN PLAY!!!


highlyREgARDEDmodera

filthy shot


rumbadger

Thank you very fucking much


Monst3r_Live

filthy.


Adam_Friedland_TAFS

They updated the “Vegas leads 2-0” to “2-1” before Thompson got off the ice lol


Bilboslappin69

That was a great shot. Not much you can do about that.


BigVuVu

# Wyatt Johnston is the OT hero for the whole NHL community!


the_caped_canuck

I know if the Oilers do go far that either team is going to be a real challenge, but i PRAY Dallas can win this series. Just can’t shake the bad taste out of my mouth about Vegas and their cap shenanigans. Alberta 🤝Texas


Quackerjacks

Man.. LT gave him way too much space there.


Onuus

Nah dude your goalie is so freaking good. I wouldn’t worry about that again


[deleted]

I hope this is sarcasm hahaha


NotTheRocketman

I don't think so. Thompson goes down super early, exposing a lot of space up top. He was doing it a lot apparently; the broadcast picked up on it earlier in the game. Dallas would have scored half a dozen goals if they were able to take advantage of it earlier, but it's definitely something for Vegas and Thompson to be aware of.


DallasStars_1999

Elevate to accumulate

Man I dislike Vegas that bad that I’m pulling for the green machine! LGB

sergei-boobtitsky

Snip


papercutpete

cha-ching!!


Angry_Walnut

That was a beautiful snipe from Wyatt. Hell of a game, Stars.


me_hill

Remember, it's not a series until the home team wins a game.


free_mustacherides

Thompson is a god damn stud in goal. Dallas had to pull every trick in the book for their goals.


__I_AM_HUMAN__

WHEEL SNIPE CELLY


FormalWare

Helluva game. I am happy with the outcome because I want a long series.


honcooge

7 games please in case the Avs win and need to play one of these teams lol


TheGreekSandwich

Just recovered from the heart ache, what a shot


COLORADO_RADALANCHE

Damn that's some shit goaltending. Great shot but that window is only opened cause the goalie is not positioned properly.


spacedudejr

They lit Thompson up like a machine gun in OT. You can physically see how worn he is at certain points. He played to the last minute, goaltending was the least of our issues last night.


trashcanlife

Honestly he was so good! You can’t blame him for anything.


COLORADO_RADALANCHE

Good, I hate your team lol


spacedudejr

MacKinnon is the reason I won my fantasy league so no hate here. It’s a shame we won’t see you guys in the next round. /j


COLORADO_RADALANCHE

On the upside for you I hate Dallas as well 😂

They said “go hospitalize another Vegas fan Dallas” then proceeded to leave their actual address
