Binnington had some crazy saves to get the Blues over the line tonight, including stopping a Scheifele one-timer with the goalie pulled.

Mark Stone looks absolutely nothing like Bergeron the way he skates and handles the puck, but they are such similar players in the way they affect the game.

Vegas appears to be adding Nikita Gusev. 26 year old forward, he lead the KHL in scoring with 82 points in 62 games for the SKA St. Petersburg (Datsyuk’s team, Kovalchuk’s former team). He was originally Tampa’s 7th rounder in 2012 (Christ can that team draft) and went to Vegas in the expansion draft.

Adding a guy from Russia right before the playoffs seems a big ask, no matter how talented the guy is. Be very curious to see how they work him in (if they're still playing).

Make it a Saturday night game...definitely a better vibe. And that viewing party place is going to be ridiculous for the away games.

I live a half-block from the heart of the Red Mile...this could be a fun spring.

Stastny makes it 3-1 seconds into the 2nd period

Getting the Goucher / Hnidy stream is an absolute treat

MAF with a huge poke check to deny a Evander Kane shorthanded attempt, then Stastny again. 4-1 Knights.

He tried to chicken-wing Marchessault earlier right after Vegas had drawn a penalty. Marchessault embellished it but Joe wasn't far from connecting

Not gonna be easy for SJ to keep up physically with Vegas unless they resort to shit like that. Carrier, Bellemare, and Reaves are gonna remind them of it every shift the rest of the series

Yeah, I like Joe, but he needs to miss a game for that. It is exactly the kind of hit that needs to be removed from the game.

California. Duh.
16 seconds into the 1st, 21 seconds into the 2nd, 36 seconds into the 3rd.

Whatever plan the Sharks have had going into each period has been immediately blown up.
