At this point I'm going to guess Vegas wins 1-0 in the first overtime period.

The way MAF is playing reminds me of the 2018 playoffs.

Flower deserves a shutout. The dude has gone insane and stood on his head.

Neither goalie really deserved to lose that game.

They both played great. If I had to pick one, I'd have MAF for the dub, but a win is a win and Minnesota came out on top.

Wild continues doing the same thing they did all year to Vegas. Out Vegas, Vegas at their own game: more physical, block more shots, play solid defense, and get good goaltending.

What a crazy and lucky coincidence that as soon as the playoffs start and the cap ceiling isn’t a thing Nikita Kucherov is coming back!

Do you really think they would put their best player on LTIR just because of the cap?

Well he was already expected to come back soon, but I think they may have waited on him a little so they wouldn't have to worry about the salary cap.

So excited to see the Panthers play. I’ve got my Panthers t-shirt on, and let’s see if teams I’m cheering for can go 4 for 4 in game 1.

Yeah he was practicing a month ago in non contact jerseys, it doesn't take a month imo to go from non contact practices to normal practices

Originally, no, but I definitely think he could’ve come back way earlier than tn

Not sure how the Panthers will hold up in a series against Tampa. I'm pulling for Florida but I have my doubts, hope they prove me wrong.

Less than 4 minutes in and we’ve already had 2 big scrums. These teams do not like each other.

I wasn't watching the start of the game ... but I realized it took a LONG time for a big scrum to happen in the Pittsburgh-NYI game.

Edit: To be clear, I mean I didn't watch the start of the FLA-TBL game ... I saw the start of the Isles-Penguins game

That should be a good goal. Playoff Sam Bennett returns.

Edit: Nevermind, on other angles, that’s goalie interference.

How that hell is that a minor penalty? Kotkaniemi got ejected for less than that in last year’s playoffs.

He did push Vasy’s pad before putting the puck in.

The lighting should be tried for attempted murder at this point

I missed the first six and a half minutes or so, but based on what I saw, that was a great 1st period!
