It IS Knight time!
How do those singers remember to not sing the word “night”in our anthem? It s so cool the way the audience sings it instead, but I can’t believe they don’t forget.
“I don’t know whether the success of the Golden Knights is a great miracle sports story, an embarrassment to the NHL, or both”
Probably both! How do I get a professional franchise, get to cherry pick my team (yes there are players that would not go to LV, imagine if they had all gone.) They are now in the finals for the cup. I would say its rigged, but I won’t since they are in Los Vegas. So what happens to the Raiders ounce they get there?
He has been singing it that way all season.
Some big Hollywood singer offered to sing the National Anthem for the Knights and they refused her, sticking with our local guy. He does a great job.
Whole town has Knight fever.
No Caps here.
So many people do not want the Raiders here.
Oakland Police told our Police that they would pay Las Vegas to take the Raiders,so much trouble comes along with them.
Oh, the same guy sings for them every time? Didn’t realize. At least they aren’t stuck with Pia Toscano like the Kings.
You going to a game?
You can count on entertainment, not family friendly! Just be guarded with your person and family, as the fools rule the roost!
Son and grandson have been going to a lot of their games, did not go last night as tickets are through the roof.
One guy at beginning of season took a $30,000.00 loan on his house to buy season tickets.
At beginning of season the sports book here had a 500 to 1 bet if they win the Stanley Cup, saw a guy they interviewed on tv last night said he made that bet for $500.00, will be nice for him if they win, $250,000.00.
McPhee knew what he was looking for, and the NHL tried to make the team competitive. Probably not this competitive, however.
The Capitals need to steal one tonight or history is stacked heavily again st them.
I expect a tighter game from both teams tonight.
Go Knights!
Stack it up, go Knights,
Can’t remember the last time Orpik scored.
3-1 Caps!
That was a good game to watch!
I’d like 5 more games like that one.
The last time Orpik scored a goal was February 26, 2016.
Heard Orpington scored back in 2114.
How many times can a Golden Night player be punched in the head by a Washington player, with out a 4 minute major? We have 2 so far, at least. Are the referees blind, or just paid to be so? I stoped watching the NBA because of this crap!
Now Washington trips their own player. The Knights get the penalty.
Washington doesn’t even need to play like goons to win. They are more skilled than Vegas and also doing all the little things that they never used to do (forcheck, backcheck, block shots by everybody).
I’m pretty happy for most teams that win for the first time but I can’t for Washington because they intend to injure their opponents. The refs are enablers of this crap. It’s too bad because hockey is a beautiful sport.
Won a game in the Stanley Cup Final.
(what I've been telling all my Caps friends! (^8\ )
