Well the Jets just stole game one - Hellebuyck stood on his head (47 saves) and the left post saved two more, so despite a hell of an effort by the Preds they could be in for a very rough ride considering the Jets had the best home record in the NHL this season....

Please, he did not push him.
That's a really tough call. Surprised they overturned it, but could have gone either way
Im pulling for the Sharks, but I disagree with that overturn.
I am biased as a long time goalie, but that was definitely interference. Seemed like the Vegas player intentionally made contact with the butt end of his stick, displacing Jones and his angle. Moreover, the guy that made contact got the goal, and put the puck in a place Jones likely would have been if he had not been run into. I think that one was pretty clear.

Vegas is such a unique team. They just have four #2-3 lines and three sets of #3-4 defensemen that they just roll at you all game. I keep waiting for them to lose, but they just keep playing so damn well despite the lack of "elit" high end talent.

Need to know who it was that just screamed "how the fuck is that not icing" from the Nashville side

Hellebuyck needs to have that Arvidsson shot

Also, what was Chiarot doing?

Also also, Subban didn’t look good coming off the ice just before the end of the periods. Laine got him pretty good while he was tied up with Stastny.

I remember a lot of people pooh-poohed that pick. It looks pretty damn smart now
I was so happy when the Jets picked him because it left Hamilton available for the Bruins.

More proof I don’t really know anything about hockey though I try.

No one cares alert:

I can't stand NBCSN talking about combined line points. Yes Nashville top line has 8 combined points. So that's either 3 or 4 goals. Say it that way instead of a pointless stat that is giving multiple people points for each goal....

It's so annoying. Almost as bad as when mediots combine +/- stats.
