Opening ceremony in Vegas was both unique and cheesy.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Good first period. Shorty and PP, 1-1.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Vegas dominated much of the 2nd, late late goal by Florida 2-2 after 2.

 

[biggunsbob]

Vegas takes a 3-2 lead. 13:00 left in third. What I have seen in the 3rd teams look pretty even. Shame I don?t want a 6 year expansion team to win the Stanley cup. Seems Blasphemous.

 

[biggunsbob]

Panthers get. PP

Crap PP for the Panthers

 

[biggunsbob]

Vegas PP

Giveaway.

That?s that. 4-2 Vegas.
Vegas pressure causes a turnover and very fast shot score and goal.
Panthers are challenging for a high stick.
Challenge denied game over.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That was a heck of a shot.

Teams do come back down by two.

 

[biggunsbob]

I can?t stand Vegas. No way this team should be this good so fast.

That's just the way it works. Hockey wants it.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Not with 5:19 left.

Yeah because that never happens.

 

[biggunsbob]

why can?t Steve build a team this good ? Makes zero sense why the Red wings are such midgets compared to other clubs.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Very good game one. Honestly I don't care who wins..

Not buying that. Makes zero sense that they want the Red wings to be terrible unless you buy into the theory like I do that Gary hates the wings.

Vegas would have have had great attendance with a crappy team. The rules stink that allowed them to get this good in 1 year like they did for Vegas.
Make the finals in the first year. Bullcrap. Plus all the drafts the the wings have fallen in.. **** Gary.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Okay now it's over..

He doesn't hate the Red Wings. Lol. Teams just starting out they want them to compete, brings hope. Vegas, Seattle and whoevers next.
