good thing for Vegas too, Dallas cashed in quickly, they likely would've laid it on for a couple more had it been assessed as a major.

oettinger masterclass. gotta love him and how solid he's been

I think Vegas started really strong in 1 and 2, all the players were healthy (Stone a bit slow, probably not 100%, its the playoffs, he's gonna play injured. You can say that's my LTIR copium, I'm used to it by now) Game 2 was really physical, much more than game 1, with Dallas laying some of VGK guys out. The Dallas hits were insane. When VGK returned home, something switched. Idk if the VGK players were just more hurt and playing through stuff, some players were taken out from the lines and everything got switched up. It's been a mess ever since, and Dallas has taken advantage. Better goal tending, better depth, and healthier guys. Game 3 was pretty even fight down to the wire, Knights just couldn't mount any comeback in the 3rd. Game 4 was really weird? Dallas didn't score super strong goals, they were all very... lucky.. and completely taking advantage of Thompsons weaknesses in net: rebounds and off-angle shots. Combined with two super stupid penalties in the second, and Vegas just couldn't break Dallas after that. Game 5 was Dallas being the better team, and Vegas just losing all steam. Everyone looks 25% except Eichel and McNabb, no one is playing well, Dallas is forcing mistakes and desperate play from Knights who have barely had ice time with their lines. Marchy just looked pissed deep down, and he seems completely cancelled out with how Dallas is covering. I have no idea what Game 6 will look like, but unless VGK gets some fight in them and Cassidy flames the shit out of Petro and some of the others making undisciplined bonehead plays, its probably the end of the road. As a VGK fan, it sucks, but I'll accept our 2023 victory and walk away happy. Our guys are just constantly injured and made of glass, its insane how many were injured throughout the season. To Dallas, if VGK indeed blows a tire, it was a well fought series, a conference worthy matchup, and cant wait for the rivalry to continue. I cant really hate the Stars, this loss is on VGK. Dallas has a really strong team, beat the Oilers for us.

Vegas is the main team in their town, its just hockey is not something Nevadans and transplanters know a whole lot about. Dallas is the 4th most popular team in their town, but in Texas Football is and always will be king so many stars fans are just passing the time in the offseason. I enjoy both fanbases though. You know they are true fans. Went to Dallas in 19' back when the AAC would only be at 60-70% capacity due to their continued mediocrity. I've been glad to see their rise and sustained success. Vegas was way better entertainment, but a lot of visiting teams fanbase take over because it is a destination and arguably the nicest arena in the league. Knights are the heart of Vegas and you wont find many of their fans in this comment section but there are few teams in major sports that mean more to their town than what the Knights mean to Las Vegas.

@vammainenjeesus I have never met an actual fan of this team before, you have got to be at least partially trolling.

I dunno what the deal is with Petro but I don't remember him doing this cheap shot stuff at all when he was with the Blues. I do remember him taking Draisaitl out of the series with a cheap shot last playoff so it seems to be a recent pattern.

Knights discovering rapidly that, with the Coyotes moving to Utah, they are no longer Bettman's favourite non-market team.

As a Flames fan, I'm happy to see Tanev doing well, and I'd really like us to get that 3rd rounder! Go Stars! 🤪

Axe chop on Draisaitls wrists last year, spinning backfist on Seguin this year. Pietrangelo can help himself in that corner. Hope he puts his swing to better use on the golf course next week.

How can he say that he can't see Vegas beating Oettinger 2 games in a row, Vegas has already beaten Oettinger 2 games in a row in this series.

The whole series, basically everyone but Eichel and Thompson have not been in it. Thompson has been carrying the team, especially I think game 3 or 4 when he faced almost 50 shots.

I always worry when Eichel has to be the primary shot taker. I don't think he even likes that role. He is such a great passer and creator for his team so you know everyone else is down when Eichel has to resort to what he has been this series. Last year he couldn't get a goal, this year he has had no choice. LT has been a pleasant surprise. Outside of the dumb goals he allowed in on game one, he has been better now than he has been all season. I agree with your take though, everybody else needs to dial it up. Especially if they want a chance to play on Sunday.

I wouldn't even be surprised if Petro's flying elbow is a suspension for Game 6

Hit with his backhand not elbow, watch it again

One thing I've learned about NHL playoffs is it's not over until it's over. There are no easy opponents unlike basketball where it seems rigged for teams to win and sweeps aren't uncommon.

You mean the team that used hockey sticks like hatchets last year can be undisciplined? Who knew 🤷‍♂️

Gotta get myself a rubber Otter mask 😂

Was in Vegas and got tickets to game 4. Felt like lots of Vegas passes and afraid to take shots. I think they got one shot after pulling the goalie. They were down and needed to score. They were waiting for the perfect shot. 2nd period had lots of hitting but no results. Dallas seemed to want it more.

It was so strange at the end of game 4, it was like VGK thought they only needed 1 not 2 lol

I think it goes back a little further than Game 5. Looking at Game 4 halfway into the 2nd period there is a clear shift. VGK looked tired, like an entirely different team for the rest of that game. Game 5 and the line changes, the goalie change was like blood in the water. I mean seriously. Thompson is the only reason this series is even going to 6. His game 2 performance was unreal. Also something to consider: the Stars played game 4 and 5 missing two starters. Dividends of depth paying off. Probably the homer in me but the boogeyman looks less threatening in the light. VGK has put their style of play and best effort on the table. And like last year in the WCF where the better team won I expect the same this series. Perhaps the Knights find another gear. It is the first time they are playing in an elimination game since 2021 so we shall see.

are we forgetting when Pietrangelo literally tried to chop Draisaitls hands off last year lmfao the dude is a horrible

I'm a VGK fan, but I will be the first to admit I'm disappointed in their play and their composure the last three games. Much as I'd love to see us force a Game 7, I don't know if they've got it in them this year. Maybe they stay disciplined tonight and get some puck luck, but Dallas looks HUNGRY for it this year. They've been playing good hockey all season and I feel like the VGK just sort of squeaked by.

As a knights fan I’m genuinely just so ashamed of everyone on the team rn (besides Thompson) and especially Petro for being a ghost this series and being a defensive liability, that is not the veteran defensemen we’re supposed to have

I never considered Vegas a villain, mainly because that will give them and their fans a chance to rally around being "the villain". Vegas are assclowns, talented and damn good, but assclowns.

Whats up with teams being down 2-0 after losing both at home then winning 4 in a row. Only seems to happen in the NHL.

It's the law of equilibrimum as a state of balance between opposing forces or actions. They won two on the row they get cocky and overexited and law of equilibrimum strikes with bad strikes. You can see that in gambling you can get ten in the row wrong when you chase lost money or became over emotional when you win.

WHAT! I thought Petro learned his lesson after his 1 game suspension for slashing Draisaitl. Isnt that why Player safety gave him the suspension. Bone head play by Petro, reminds me of the disciple issues of Kadri on the Leafs. Not the same severity but same pattern

damn Pietrangelo is gaining himself quite the reputation.

Channeling his inner Benn from last season in the playoffs. He just cost his team the series and I love it.

At least this time when Pietro committed the stupid obvious attack, it was at a time that the game was still in doubt, as opposed to last year when the game was decided and he slashed Draisaitl. His stupid attacks need to cost him, or he'll just keep doing it, and more than the 1 game suspension he got last year, only because they were able to pull Nurse as well to offset the loss.

Game 5 second period was spent almost wholly in dallas’s zone, I was waiting for the tying vegas goal the whole time. Felt like Dallas was on an eternal pk but they put the clamp down on Vegas hard

What's good about these villains? Don't answer that.

I'm honestly shocked they decided this was only a 2 minute minor.

“A match penalty shall be assessed to a player who punches an unsuspecting opponent and causes an injury” Rule seems pretty clear. Not sure why they walked this back. Even if the double minor only applies when a stick is in play this should not have only been a minor.

Absolutely loved pietrangelo when he was in St. Louis but not anymore because of stuff like this. It’s like he flipped a switch after signing with Vegas. Seeing him win the cup last year after the hack on Draisaitl was disgusting.

Cowboys From Hell playing lockdown sacrifice pretty incredible. I have a feeling Pavs will pick it up next game finishing Vegas season

That was an egregious penalty at a horrible time in the series by Pietrangelo, for sure.

Who does Pietrangelo think he is? Only Brad Marchand gets a pass for that stuff... Vegas appears to be coming apart. Can't say i'm overly saddened.

What a dive by Seguin

Oh no! What if the Las Vegas Injured Reserves get kicked out in the first round? Guess they'll have to "inconspicuously" put even more star players on LTIR halfway through next year's regular season in order to acquire more stars, all of whom will miraculously be back in prime shape just in time for game one of the first series!

Great analysis

Pietrangelo got away with a lot of non calls last year playoffs. Glad they see his crapolla

The Pietrangelo penalty is an example of the NHL's lack of credibility in its application of its own rules. Seguin is dripping blood as a result of an obiviously dirty and $tupid penalty and only a two minute minor [after a review no less] is issued. Flash forward to tonight's only game [Bruins vs. Leafs] and the double minor issued to Pastrnak on Bertuzzi. If you wanted to see the red on Bertuzzi you would need a magnifying glass and you might have been able to see the superficial scratch but not any dripping blood. Boggles the mind. Of course, the league has never been know for its good officiating or consistent and even enforcement of its own rules. The only thing that has ever been consistent about NHL officiating is its inconsistency. It is frankly an embarrassment and now that the league has embraced the gambling industry with open arms, the lack of consistency in officiating is even more problematic as it relates to anyone watching that it is on the level. As far as Vegas goes, the only thing better than seeing them go down in flames [other than them not making the playoffs] would be to see the Bruins choke another first round series after being up 3-1. Seeing the rat turd cry last playoffs was great and seeing what he would do as an encore this round would be worth the price of the ticket all by itself.

All I want is to see the epic fight at the end of next game, Vegas with nothing to lose will murder the stars, especially if they loose the game

Since my team's not in it, all I have is rooting against teams I hate: with Tampa out and Vegas facing elimination, I might not have much to root for soon 😊

This Petro guy is something else he and Pietrangelo both suck.

Are you not going to comment on Seguin acting like he was sucker punched by Tyson?? I don't even think that Pietrangelo would have deserved that penalty if Sequin didn't fall to the ground like he was shot. The blow glanced off the shoulders and was half blocked by Seguins forearms. Seguin is one of the toughest players out there... and you're telling me he gets KO'd by a back hand?? Come on. He deserves an oscar for that.

Real VGK fans are sick and tired of Alex Pietrangelo

Pietrangelo thought punching an opponent in the face wasn't a penalty for Vegas after that one punch from Mcnabb to Suzuki in 2021.

Agreed. Pietrangelo has been a liability all series. That penalty should never happen. Sure, seguin tried to injure Shea earlier. Sure, he then flopped for a penalty. Sure, he generally annoying af. But there is a time and place, man. Not in a 2-2 game 5 on the road. Your video is spot on, sir

HOW is the Pietrangelo penalty not at least a 4 minute double minor. I've always thought any injury inflicted during a penalty is an automatic 4 minutes - especially if the player is actually bleeding. I did not think it required a 5-minute major, but someone please explain to me how that was not an automatic 4 minute double minor???

Last year it was Dallas, particularly Benn, making stupid decisions. Perhaps Vegas mocking the league and its ridiculous LTIR rules has made them think they can take dumb fouls and get away with it. I feel there are a lot of temporary Dallas fans right now (yes, they also have real permanent fans). I also picked them to go the Final so I need this.

Are Dallas fans getting that green light up watch EVERY game??
