  1. Sconesmcbones

    Lets show up these swamp cats with a big win tonight

  2. Steve_Hunts96

    Despite all the missing pieces from that magical day in June 2023, we must show these Panthers that we are **TRULY** the reigning cup champs, and thoroughly whoop their ass again.

    #GO. KNIGHTS. GO.

  3. UnhealthyCheesecake

    At this point, taking Dorofeyev out of the lineup would be a crime. Guy’s earned it

  4. I have a massive soft spot for Dorofeyev since he lost all his teeth on the ice.

  5. Steve_Hunts96

    #HOW THE FUCK DID MARCHY NOT SCORE THERE!!??? HOLY SHIT

  6. Wafflemonster2

    With all the demoralising injuries lately, I went into this game with my goal to optimistically focus on Dory and Denisenko, especially Dory on that 2nd line, and it did not take long for that to pay off lol

  7. FridayCicero702

    Sweet, free order of large fries can be claimed tomorrow at McDonald’s since we scored first at home.

    Thank you, Doro.

    Now let’s win this game!

    🍟

  8. Waffeln_Remix

    Yo where the fuck was this during the winter classic?! This is the team I love!

  9. MINImanGOTgunz

    Team looks infinitely more locked in than winter classic game.

  10. Maleficientviolet

    This is a much better start to the game than we’ve seen recently. I like the effort.

  11. Make4LokoGreatAgain

    Doro scored. Fuck yea baby. Trying to get the game on at the gym is a bitch

  12. John_Goblikon

    If you’re playing the Panthers and getting more penalties than they are… you’re doing something wrong.

  13. Steve_Hunts96

    Random, but SO to the Blues for knocking off Vancouver tonight!

    Let’s take advantage of that and tie up the standing points!

  14. Why are you looking for the perfect shot?! You should be getting some fucking shots off

  15. FlurriesofFleuryFury

    #IT AIN’T OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER

    #RECKLESS FUCKING OPTIMISM

  16. joey_1324

    Well when you shit the bed with all that 5 on 3 time that’s what happens

  17. fellowENT18

    Crazy what happens when you shoot on a power play huh

  18. FloralDemon

    Surprised Bruce didn’t drop any f-bombs there. Coach was pissed.

  19. Wow Cassidy literally saying everyone straight up not on the same page to the play they were suppose to try on the 5 on 3. Yeah that feels about right with how things are going right now.

  20. FridayCicero702

    Just freakin’ score already.

    Granted, compared to how we’ve been playing lately I’m surprised we’re only down one goal.

    This game is still totally within our reach.

  21. Antichristopher4

    I would imagine the jumbotron would be considered out of play, but that would make sense

  22. 2min4roughing

    I liked hockey a lot better when the oilers were losing all their games and we were winning all our games

  23. Maybe I’m just a Thompson apologist, but man, he deserves a lot better from the team this game. He’s been making really great saves

  24. thedeepfake

    I don’t mind losing. I do mind watching this team playing like they don’t give a shit.

  25. friskyjude

    I miss being able to blame Steve Spott, it seemed so simple

  26. Steve_Hunts96

    3 fucking power play goals given up now…

    Un-fucking-believable.

    This team is fucking dogshit right now.

  27. FlurriesofFleuryFury

    hats off to the east coast fans and anyone watching the VGK from around the world because it’s 9:20 pm here and I’m falling the fuck asleep. Night everyone. Remember we’d rather watch this shitshow than not and it’s a privilege to root for the Vegas Golden Knights.

  28. NorthboundUrsine

    Boobirds are out in the fortress… rightfully so.
