    Vroom, vroom. Let’s bolt on those Pirelli tires and take Montreal out like it’s a 3.8 miles long track with 17 corners and 3 long straights along with 2 drag reduction system zones.

    With Adin Hill in the driver’s seat, I’m already envisioning the offense running circles around Jake Allen.

    The Mountain was at its vertical peak last time it was in the net, stopping all 20 shots in a highly impressive 5-0 shutout against the San Jose Fins.

    And the last time he faced the Canadiens on October 30th, he stopped 37 of their 39 shots in our satisfying 3-2 shootout victory.

    But we’re not here to look in the rear view mirror.

    Let’s burnout on these Northern hatchbacks and apply tiptronic transmission while they choke on our exhaust.

    Today is going to be a good day.

    🏁 GKG 🏁

  2. Riftmarked

    Long day in a long week, could really go for a VGK win

  3. Markel100

    This team needs chandler Stephenson the offense has been real shit since his injury

  4. RoombaArmy

    I feel like the first line has not scored a goal in 15 years.

  5. EnricoMatassaEsq

    Dominating every offensive stat except the one that really matters.

  6. UnhealthyCheesecake

    Not fun fact: We haven’t scored a goal in 91:26 minutes of game time

  7. cookbacondrunknaked

    Well I am watching but I’m traveling so it’s on my phone. Miss you guys.

  8. FloralDemon

    Should be a double minor for hitting Howden’s beautiful face.

  9. RoombaArmy

    Fine, I’ll just do it.

    BOOOOOO EICHEL YOU HAVE NOT SCORED A SINGLE GOAL SINCE YOU WERE IN BUFFALO

    WE LOST THE TRADE

    TUCH IS BETTER!!!

  10. SiiirPatski

    We are getting fucked by these horseshit ghost calls

  11. scumbagscuba

    Only time I’ve ever seen a guy still standing after being tripped

  12. Now that’s how offensive draws are supposed to go down after the icing!

  13. RoombaArmy

    First vgk goal: was in the shower
    Second vgk goal: was drying my hair

    I will sit in my bathroom until the end of the game. Just in case. You can thank me later if we win, and if we don’t feel free to mock me for being superstitious.

  14. Steve_Hunts96

    Cotter… it is a requirement you get a birthday goal.

    #MANIFEST IT

  15. jennrandyy

    I’m taking credit for that Eichel assist since I fueled him

  16. UnhealthyCheesecake

    Ayo dawg, I heard you like goals

    So we got you a 6 goal 2nd period

  17. Mmm that didn’t seem legal, Bruce throw up the 🖐️
