Dallas Stars practice interviews after Game 1 against the Golden Knights

Jason Robertson and Pete DeBoer talked to the media on April 23, 2024, one day after the Dallas Stars lost 4-3 to the Vegas Golden Knight.
Vegas captain Mark Stone scored quickly after missing two months and his first-time linemate Tomas Hertl had a nifty goal in his playoff debut for the Golden Knights.
Stone and Hertl scored on the only power plays for the reigning Stanley Cup champion as Vegas opened defense of its title with the win over the top-seeded Dallas Stars.
“Off to a good start on the road,” Stone said. “That's key, and the power play was clutch for us.”
Jonathan Marchessault got his franchise-record 36th postseason goal for Vegas, while Brayden McNabb scored on a 50-foot sniper shot from against the boards in the second period. Jack Eichel and defenseman Noah Hanifin both had two assists.
Hertl and Hanifin were two of three trade acquisitions for Vegas while Stone was on the long-term injured list after he lacerated his spleen Feb. 20. With Stone's salary not counting toward the NHL's cap during that time, the Knights were able to be aggressive at the deadline in March.
“Awesome ... a lot of fun,” Hertl said of playing with Stone. "Hopefully we can just keep building every game and getting better and better for our team. i think we will get better and we will score a lot of goals for our team.”
The Knights entered this postseason as the No. 8 seed and a first-round opener in Dallas, where last year they wrapped up the West final with a Game 6 victory after having won the first three games. Game 2 of this series is Wednesday night.

​@michaelpoteet4171 youre crazy, vegas is not that great of team and barely squeaked into the playoffs. Vegas couldnt do anything in the first game but have calls go their way, get a goal disallowed that should of been a goal, fluke bounces on 2 of their goals... they ended with what 6-8 shots in 30 minutes of play? This team in particular could come back from 0-3. The overconfidence in the Knights fans are hilarious

The Vegas MVP of the series will be LTIR. Don’t count Dallas out yet though, there’s still a lot of hockey to be played.

[@michaelpoteet4171]

@@andrewr022488 if LTIR determined who wins the game then why are the Leafs and Tampa not dominating since they used more LTIR than Vegas.

Stars will never win with Pete Deboer. He's an eternal loser. Sharks, devils, knights all winning teams couldn't win with him.
