Hertl vs Pavelski is a win / win lose / lose for sharks fans. Both got to treat this like it is their final chance at a cup even if it is not. Seeing Hertl and Stone play together and sitting next to each other on the bench was really odd as a sharks fan and after seeing the video of them fighting years ago. It is cool that they both moved on from that old rivalry. May the best team win.

It's definitely been odd (that fight was epic), but apparently they became friends during injury rehab. 😀 The Stephenson/Hertl/Stone line is going to be a force in the playoffs. And then there's Marchessault/Eichel/ Barbashev...and the grinder line of Carrier/Roy/Kolesar back together. Karlsson and pick your favorite player on either side. This is definitely going to be interesting!

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

@@vickybrogan6959 Well that was not a fight over disliking each other so to speak. Stone hit Timo Meier clean but it looked like he hurt him and Hertl was just defending Meier and he might not have seen the actual hit. Hertl is generally a nice and happy person and seeing that Stone hit Meier clean it would be easy to forgive him and move on. Hertl and Stone both do not fight anyone that often so it was epic sure. Even as a sharks fan some knights players seem pretty likeable it is just a few do dirty hits and that can sour that. I feel exactly the same way about sharks players who do that though.

That doesn't negate the fact that the salary cap system is broken, and teams exploiting the loopholes are seeing huge success against teams who are not in recent years.

Wait, why wasn’t Hill in net? Wasn’t he the reason they won the cup last year? 🤔

[@michaeld6147]

Because he has been absolute hot garbage since December

[@Astrea946]

Hill hasn’t really been good as of late and this is coming from a knight fan

[@ConfideKylie]

Ah ok, thanks.

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

"Wasn’t he the reason they won the cup last year? " I fell over laughing reading that. Hill was benched and if you think Hill was the reason they won the cup it is a complete insult to the rest of the knights team that constantly carried all 5 goalies to victory last season. Not a single knights goalie had a losing record last season and it was not because all 5 are #1 quality NHL goalies. Hill did not even play in the first round of the playoffs last season and if Laurent Brossoit stayed healthy I highly assume the knights would have won the cup anyway even if Hill never played.

If you watched any highlights from any of Vegas' recent games in the season, you'd know why he's not in net.

Here we come Stanley for your cup . Las Vegas will win the cup again. Me and others that live in Las Vegas are watching a dynasty at work. Go nights go.

The Canucks aren't in the same universe as Vegas or Dallas. They'd get swept by both (provided they can even beat Nashville)

Nucks beat horrible nashville one game, and their delusional fan base now thinks canucks are a serious threat, LOL. Your teams whole mission was not playing the big bad scary knights in the first round?

came here to see what close calls there might have been in final couple minutes, I guess nothing happened at all?

[@dps0610]

I love how salty everybody is on everything Vegas is mentioned in or shown on. You'd all love your team if they used the rules the same way to be consistently competitive.

[@babyyoda6549]

It’s not possible for every team to do the same thing Vegas does because it would look so suspicious that the league would clamp down, but they don’t because Vegas gets away with it, how could you compete against the team like that that can fix the game like that by getting all those players and not paying a price when it comes to the salary cap?

[@dps0610]

@@babyyoda6549 it’s ridiculous to think that the league allows it to happen because of only a single team doing it. 16 teams are over the cap by end of year. All but Nashville in the playoffs are over the cap. Secondly, nothing can be done about the rules because that’s collectively bargained. They’d have to open the CBA entirely and re-bargain what players and owners agreed to.

Dallas has lost every game 1 the past i don’t even know how many series. I’d guess at least 4. I was expecting this although the stars looked pretty good. Ya get couple bounces the other way and this could have been a completely different story. I do like that the stars kept at and didn’t let any calls dictate this game.

As a Czech fan I’m confused what to feel.. On one hand I deeply hate Vegas but on the other hand I love Hertl😅

Hertl isn’t a Knight. He was just a player picked up because Vegas is cheating again.

Congratulations, Stars, for becoming the only home team to lose Game 1. That's a very Dallas thing to do (except the 2023 Texas Rangers, thankfully). 🙄

[@67skins75]

Those name tags on players on the P is really annoying. Is this the new version of the 'Fox Puck'? Haven't Americans learned to follow the puck yet?

How about adding the penalties to the highlights seems obvious.
