Watching the 3rd period of the Stars vs Kraken. I hope I don’t jinx the Stars, they have come back to take the lead.

I was watching Panthers-Leafs, last I had checked it was 2-1 Kraken.

Those fluorescent jerseys are not pleasant to my eye.

I like them.  Not as an everyday jersey but it's a decent 3rd.  I wouldn't buy one though.

Another nail in Vegas’ coffin.

Stars hang on.  Win Tuesday and VGK is pretty much done.

LAK vs Anaheim up next.

Good one early

 Kings attacking relentlessly but not sustained and no goals yet

[Doohicksie]

Kings on the board, 1-0

[French Collection]

There is even a chance Vancouver wins a few more and knocks Vegas down another spot.

[Norcal]

If the Kings lose it'll be because Stolarz is still hot.

He's been good on the first. 

[Flashsabre]

Kings win. Dallas wins. Good night for the pick.

Keep in mind the Dallas and Vegas numbers will probably flip if Vegas beats Dallas on Tuesday and SJ today. It all comes down to the Dallas Vegas game.

538 is a little more down on Vegas’s chances.

Even if Vegas beats Dallas on Tuesday, if Dallas beats Arizona and Anaheim to close out the season, Vegas can’t catch them without winning all 4 of their remaining games.

True but it gets easier for Vegas with a Dallas win. Without it, game over.

Yes it is getting downright goofy.  

Robin missed a dozen games, returning April 3rd. In his six games back, he has given up 17 goals and a save percentage of .892%.  This includes the stinker against NJ. 

So head coach says he’s totally healthy this whole time and pointed the blame of the Devils loss on Lehner (coach said, “This time of year, you’re looking for your guy to be better than the guy at the other end, and that wasn’t the case tonight.”)

So then the last game against the Caps, Lehner gets the start—but got yanked to start the second period in a 1-1 game. Made 12/13 saves. Puzzling.  
 

Then yesterday The Athletic announced Lehner is having season ending surgery from an injury he suffered in March that he was trying to play through. So DeBoer lied about him being heathy??

But now that has changed and Lehner is the backup for the game tonight.  

Is this a case of the team deciding what a player should or should not be doing with his body (Lehner wants surgery and the team said oh no you’re not…at least not yet)?

If so, how ironic.

If Nashville can pull themselves together tonight and beat the Wild, then a Sharks win vs Vegas would clinch the playoffs for both LA and Nashville. Dallas would then just have to go 1-1-1 in their last 3.
