I forgot what losing feels like
Could have clinched and didn’t. As is tradition
Disappointing, but not really surprising. Gotta be better than that.
Frustrating loss, hopefully we turn it around Monday. At least we’re still 1st in the Central
Just no puck luck tonight. Let’s get em’ back on monday
Darby wanted the night off from being a human punching bag.
We were bound to have a stinker of a game, but we’ll bounce back. Gotta make the race interesting
1st in the central baby. Who said you need to win, you just need other teams to lose more
Just me or did they seem half a step behind most of the game?
eh. not gonna win every night
hope shaw is okay. fucking sucks for him
Our team is incredibly multi faceted, we went from relying entirely on Kaprizov to relying entirely on Boldy.
All I know is praying for two people to be good has worked well for the oilers, let’s go!
Fuel the Gus Bus.
Sucks to lose but more than anything I’m just hoping the best for Shaw. 🙁
Addison must have taken a shit in Dean’s cheerios to be sitting for Klingberg or Goose.
Unfortunate because their goalie was looking behind him after a bunch of shots clearly showing he wasn’t super confident. Just couldn’t get the good bounces past him because I bet if we did, it would’ve shaken him.
Can’t even blame the refs on this one which is rare for a Vegas home game.
Shaw is probably done and that fucking sucks especially with how the 4th line has been playing. But also now we have an NHL ready player in Nyquist to slot in.. did Guerin anticipate an injury!?
Last thing, a lot of chatter about what goalie starts first in the playoffs.. you gotta give it Gus. He just provides such a calming presence when he’s in net and the team feeds off it.
We are still first in the central even after that loss.. it is our position to lose
i hope shaw is okay 🙁
Hopefully Shaw gets better soon! Seems like losing him shifted the game. We had all the momentum to start. We’ll get ‘em on Monday though
Drunken Saturday thought.
I want Gorgs job. Live at an airport, conduct two interviews, and cash a paycheck.
He actually does a good job.
Fucking feel bad for shaw.
Wish Flower could play like we’re doen 2 the entire game.
Not gonna win them all.
11 forwards for basically the whole game isn’t a recipe for success.
On to the next one.
Very nervous for the playoffs considering the team needs show up when something is on the line. The game against the Avs was a must win but you have to be able to win multiple must win games back to back, there are no off nights in the playoffs…
Still love this team but I’m nervous.
man, really felt like nothing was going our way this game.
first game i showed to my buddy who just moved to minnesota too…

Well guys we know we can’t win them all. The Shaw injury with all the lane juggling hurt more than expected, let’s hope is nothing serious because I really like this 4th line with Shaw Dewar and Reaves.
Man Shaw looked rough there. Hope he’s okay.
eh, we didn’t even play that bad. Just didn’t go our way
I can’t stop thinking about Shaw. Really soul crushing. I love that dude.
