Kyle Dubas & Brendan Shanahan need to do actual work before next season starts, maybe start by exercising Harold Ballard ghost out of the building.

Carey Price is the only thing keeping this a low scoring game.

I had no intention of watching hockey in August, then Bo Horvat started acting like a first round draft pick, and damn, before you could blink, I was hooked.
Some of the moves he made, not once, but several times, wow.
Now I'm off to watch game 3.

Every now and again TSN will show Mike Milbury going after someone in the stands and hitting this person with his own shoe. This was back when Milbury was member of Boston Bruins (so he is running around in the stands in hockey gear).

Marc-Andre Fleury agent may have taken things a bit to far.

Coaches will say “go with the hot hand” and currently that’s the Vegas backup goaltender. Ironically they got him at deadline from the team they just beat Chicago.

This whole hullabaloo didn't seem to affect the play of the Golden Knights. Men against boys.
