    I don’t think I’m being dramatic in saying this is a MUST WIN

  2. SpicoliTattoos

    It may be away for the lads but it’s home for me! It’s the one time a year I can walk from my apartment and see my favorite team play.

  3. UnhealthyCheesecake

    Fun Fact: The VGK have never lost on March 4th, 2024.

  4. Vegas_Golden_Refs

    No way we lose against Columbus right?

  5. I think we win tonight, but it won’t be dominant. Jackie aces needs to ease his way back in to Stanley cup form. After letting up seven in Buffalo, I will bet they are defensively focused and Cassidy has them “getting back to fundamentals” (coach speak to say that they suck too much right now to get creative). I’m thinking 3-1 VGK

  6. drop-cord

    These lines look SO MUCH BETTER with Eichel back at 1c

  7. I heard the more red Eichel’s face, the better he plays

  8. joey_1324

    Hopefully getting Jack back gives the boys some jump tonight and they play half way competent

  9. Grasschoppa

    #GO KNIGHTS GO!!! SKATE SKATE SKATE!! ANTE UP, CHECK THAT FOOL!

  10. benseifert666

    I’m stuck watching the Jackets’ broadcast, it’s no Dave and Shane but it’s pretty tolerable so far

  11. Available-Cat-8940

    Side thought: you know who I miss?

    Will Carrier.

    The Carrier/Roy/Kolesar line bangs……and isn’t offensively null.

  12. BeardedPaladin

    Is this not a must win game? Why are they playing like this game doesn’t matter

  13. fellowENT18

    Does this team just talk about and work on nothing? Same shit every single noght

  14. Ah, shit. Maybe we can reset after the All-Star Break.. oh wait..

  15. BeardedPaladin

    Let it be known! We are all still here! Still watching! All the haters saying as soon as the Knights weren’t good we would all bail are wrong!

    Cause we suck bad right now lol

  16. UnhealthyCheesecake

    “This player hasn’t scored a goal since 374 AD, the Romans had just launched an attack on the Goths. He breaks his drought against the Golden Knights.”
