Well we’re here so may as well hope for the best. Settle in and win a game.

What do we do from here? Lyons looked alright but our defense was pathetic, and Chucky can’t seem to stay in the game long enough to capitalize.
Knights are playing decent hockey that’s looking amazing because we’re on some high school shit.
How do we come back from a performance like this?
ohwowitsrambo
Knights deserve nothing. Fuck the refs. This team makes me cry.
-Zep-
Great way to lose confidence by Blowing Game 1 and letting both your goalies get destroyed. Feels like the Tampa round 2 series again.
I don’t know where they go next game with gudas out.
AJFern99
Doesn’t help when it’s 2 teams vs 1. Plus we are not as composed as prior series. Vegas is playing about as perfect a team can play (helps when the refs are gifting PPs)
MrConfuser
Embarrassing. We need to settle down and not let Vegas or the refs get in our heads. Undisciplined hockey is not how we win.
Imzocrazy
When the heat lost game one I said I wasn’t worried because we didn’t get “beat”….we just didn’t show up…and we saw them bounce back next game…
THIS is not that….Vegas is manhandling us….where is the hustle/grit?
CasperCann
20 minutes for Tkachuk for a clean hit, getting jumped, and barely tapping a stick.
This is why the market for the NHL sucks, no football/basketball fan who hates refs already, would be willing to suffer through THESE refs as well.
My goodness. Vegas is a great team, there’s no doubting that but this kinda of shit the refs are ignoring/allowing is insane.
That second goal by vegas was led by the EXACT thing that tkachuk did that got him a 2nd ten minute lmaooo
KingNOTHING_313
Fucking PLAY THE GAME!!!!!!!
NoahTheQB
I don’t care what the refs do/don’t call, having full on meltdown like that is inexcusable. You wanna be the face of the NHL, Tkachuk? Stay on the ice! Going to be a real short series if we keep letting them get under our skin.
schafkj
Paul Maurice needs to go nuclear on this team. Verhaege has been on a fucking milk carton since game 1 of the ECF. Sam Bennett is playing like Calgary Sam Bennett. Tkachuk has six times as many penalty minutes as shots on goal. Bobrovsky turned back into the regular season pumpkin who got benched for Knight and Lyon. The refs have been fucking brutal but if we can’t can’t score a single goddamned goal on the power play we might as well pack it in and start the offseason. We’re making Hill look like the goddamned Wayne Gretzky of goaltending. 12-4 in two games is pathetic.
gudachi
Bottom line is we need to play better. Our top guys have to score. That’s just not happening right now, and their guys are scoring. Barkov wake the fuck up.
Margin4Error
Things that can be true at the same time that many of you somehow can’t understand: Us playing like shit and the refs 100% having a hand in the game.
And downvote me all you want, but that “we were down 3-1 against Boston” crap doesn’t hit the same when this Vegas team could run absolute circles around Boston right now. I’ll always tune in and have faith, (glutton for punishment) but we have too many wounds to try and heal right now and Vegas is smelling blood. This series is so far going exactly like the Tampa sweep last year.

IT AIN’T OVER. GO PANTHERS !

What a shit effort tn

No misconduct penalties for the next two days.

Praying Keith is as pissed as us and asks his son why he likes leaving the ice before the game is done. The hockey stick is used to score goals, not for cross checking players as these guys seem to still not understand. Grow up and get your emotions in check
MicrowavedSpam
I am currently in Vegas.
1. Team played terrible. Yeah some bad calls and bounces but the energy was never there. Vegas is a hard place to play but I wouldn’t say worse than Boston
2. Vegas fans are either total douchebags or very nice, although it’s easy to be friendly under these circumstances. Chirping from those inclined pretty bad though.
3. CATS WILL ROLL 🐈 ☀️ ❌ 🌴
CoronaVarusssss
Maybe the Vegas Knights are just better than Florida Panthers …….
dynamojoe
Utter humiliation. There’s just no excuse for this.
k5berry
The game itself: absolute shitshow. Nothing more to say, we fucking sucked massive ass and need to shape up or else we’re getting swept.
Instead, I’ll take a moment to be a little salty and bitch about /r/hockey. I know we’re all fans and put the homer / hater goggles on, but holy shit those people live on a different planet. The GDT was thoroughly, through-and-through against the Panthers, and yet in the post game thread there’s multiple comments about how whiny and bitchy our fans allegedly were. Hating and taking joy in a team losing is one thing, honestly I don’t take massive issue with that. It’s a part of sports fandom, you give the trash talk back to the teams that have been successful. But when you are so blinded by that hatred that you have to manufacture bad behavior in your head to hate the *fanbase,* you need to go for a walk and touch some grass. That’s just sad man.
SteelersZane
That effort deserves a bag skate
bchill13
OK, those weren’t an ideal 2 games in Vegas. Team looks like it may have been partying a little too hard in Sin City?
Fortunately it’s a best-of-7 series and not a best-of-3, so as bad as team looked tonight, and they looked every bit as terrible as the score indicates, they can turn it around, they’ve done it before.
Emotional_Match8169
I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere here, but I saw elsewhere that they didn’t even hold a required practice this morning. Only a few guys showed up to skate. Think that factored into tonight?

Y’all are funny. Panthers in 7

One of the worst games of hockey I have ever watched. Let alone the fucking SCF
Jagrkid2186
Good news is that most of the mistakes are fixable, lots of missed assignments on defense, avoidable penalties, stop skating past the puck, etc.
Generazn
Hey Maurice, maybe not having practice yesterday and letting half the roster not skate this morning after the game 1 loss wasn’t the best idea… 🙄
s1lentastro1
we struck first in game 1 and it felt like we hadn’t missed a beat, that we were ready to roll. and then, inexplicably, the regular season Panthers showed up. at least the good news is that game 3 is a must win or it’s over. if they don’t bring it, we’re cooked. but remember this entire run was being played with house money. I honestly do believe regardless of outcome, we come back better next year.

Vegas is on point. The Cats are not. It’s rough to watch. Just wish we didn’t lose composure like we obviously have. It’s still a 7-game series, but it’s not looking like we’ll see all 7, or even 5.
I am still glad to be here. And I still have plenty of cheese.

Almost like playing dirty the whole playoffs is biting them in the ass

This has been hard to watch, but not losing faith in this team. Comeback starts game 3
brechbillc1
Looked like the team before the All Star Break.
They better figure this shit out in the 2 days they have until game 3. Otherwise it’ll be the same as 96.
I’ll be in town for the home games to visit family. Was planning on going to games 3 and 4 but after tonight. I’m not so sure. Tickets are $500 and do you really want to pay that much to watch this team take a dump on the ice?
kinglyIII
I mean ok.. onto the next, it’s not over yet
blueandgoldilocks
Pretty sure this is the most misconducts I’ve seen all season
Hoping you guys manage to get the wind back. Nothing’s more boring than being an observer whose team got eliminated already and seeing one team sweep the other in the finals
cr_wolf
A red hot goalie got this team into the playoffs and another got them to the Final. This feels like regression to the mean for this roster. Really hope I’m wrong.
sunsetlighthouse
That was excruciating to watch. Vegas deserved to win. We did not play well at all. I’m hoping we turn things around at home, but I guess we’ll see

I was feeling pretty good when the Indians took a 2-0 lead on the Cubs back in 2016 (still not sure how I ended up a G’s/Indians fan). It sure would be a nice birthday present to experience a finals comeback from the other side…
