Game 1 Reaction: Stars fall 4-3 to VGK | Shaky start proves costly, adjustments must be made!



The Dallas Stars fall to the Vegas Golden Knights in game 1 by a final score of 4-3. The Stars came out flat in the first period and the Knights struck three times, including twice on the power play. Jamie Benn and Jason Robertson scored in the period to cut the deficit to one heading into the 2nd. The Stars out shot the Knights in the middle period, but failed to pierce through Logan Thompson who started in net for the VGK. Jake Oettinger was not very busy in the final two periods, but Vegas made his life tough on their goals. Joey breaks down game 1 and why Vegas was so successful and why he even has some optimizing moving forward in the series. It’s no question the Stars will need more from Thomas Harley, Miro Heiskanen, Roope Hintz, Matt Duchene if they want to beat Vegas at full strength. They will also have to make adjustments in their defensive zone exits and the way they attack Vegas. The Knights blocked 20 shots and forced a ton of shot attempts from the perimeter by Dallas. The Stars must find a way to win in front of both nets if they want to have a chance in the series. We will see what kind of
response Dallas has in game two on Wednesday night.

  1. Even if they go 7 the Stars just aren't up to the challenge. Tired of seeing Vegas just abuse the Stars, Otter specifically, and just do whatever they want. Bad draw for the Stars.

  2. No worries. The Stars typically take the first game to settle into a series and they’re the better team.

  3. if they lose game 2 this series is over, its gonna be just like last year if not worse. If there's one team the stars can't beat its vegas
