Golden Knights 6, Blues 4!
VGK wins again tonight in the round robin to determine the #1 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs!
I watched the second half of this game while doing cardio at the gym and it was a shock in the 2nd Period to look up and suddenly see the Blues with the lead after they scored twice in just 21 seconds. But then VGK responded with 3 unanswered goals to get the victory. VGK next plays Colorado on Saturday (that will be a tough game) and if they win then they will receive the #1 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs. I will be watching that game.
Edit: It is really weird watching NHL playoff hockey in August, although I understand the circumstances.

I think that Fleury and Lehner give VGK the best 1-2 goalie combination in the entire NHL. Hopefully that will translate to success in the playoffs this year.

Golden Knights 4, Avalanche 3 in overtime!
Hell Yeah!
My team, VGK, just won the seeding round robin!
Can you say "#1 seed?"
VGK is now the #1 seed for the Western Conference Playoffs!

VGK as the #1 seed in their conference plays the first round against the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks do have more top-end talent and playoff experience than VGK and qualified for these playoffs despite being a #12 seed- but I think VGK has better depth. So I respect Chicago. Hopefully the good guys- VGK- win!

I doubt he will actually win it since VGK was expected to be a playoff team anyway, but I think there is a solid case for VGK coach Peter DeBoer to win the coach of the year trophy. When DeBoer replaced Gerard Gallant this season, VGK was only #7 in the Western Conference but under DeBoer VGK is now the #1 seed. It really is not easy to go from #7 to #1 in just a couple of months or so and I think DeBoer deserves the award if he was to get it (but I doubt it.)

Golden Knights 4, Blackhawks 1!
VGK gets off to a great start in the playoffs by winning their first game to take a 1-0 series lead!
Reilly Smith scored twice and Robin Lehner was awesome as tonight's goalie. I think Fleury will be the the goalie for Game 2 on Thursday.

Damn I haven't been keeping up with hockey like I use too. Didn't realize they got rid of Gallant. One of my favorite Wings growing up and the only guy I stood in line to get an autograph of for myself. If he hasn't been picked up hopefully Stevie Y brings him back home to Detroit.

Knights might take it all this year.
