GDT: Vegas @ Dallas 8:30 EDT - The Last Breath

[Carmel Corn]

The fork is hovering over the Knights, waiting to be stuck in.

[Second Line Center]

Dallas clinches with a win vs Arizona tomorrow 

[Taro T]

1 more point won by Dallas or 1 more point lost by Vegas & the Sabres have either the 15th or 16th pick minus a wild lottery draw.

I bet KA can get him cheap.

Please no. Not even funny.

What a great game…

Nasty move by Heiskanen!

It’s exactly what I do but flipped with a normal Keeper and I’m right handed. It works in beer league like nobody’s business.

Lehner would be flopping around like a fish on a dock.

Never would've made it past the 2nd shooter.  Nobody shot wide.  😉

Correct.  But Dallas's magic number is 1.

So Vegas would need Dallas and Nashville to lose out and they would need to win out right?

Yes. Barring a 2011 Red Sox or 1995 Angels level collapse, their goose is essentially cooked.

Oh come on.  It's a little funny.

Nashville is out of reach.  They've got at least the 2nd tiebreaker clinched.  (They currently have the 1st one too, but Vegas can tie that.)

Vegas needs to take all 4 remaining while Dallas never even makes it to OT.

Easy to see what a difference great goaltending means to teams… 

[Second Line Center]

Nashville and the Kings are in.

Dallas had great goaltending tonight.  Otherwise, they aren’t much. 

[Amaru523]

Nashville better send Dallas a few bottles of Dom, they just clinched despite playing like straight ass lately.

Could say the same of Vegas. 😉

Nashville is in.  Dallas must lose both games in regulation while Las Vegas wins both of theirs (can be OT/SO).

Yes, they are.

1 spot left.  Those 2 points left in Buffalo are going to haunt them.

[SDS]

Vegas lost this when Karlsson missed an open net.

[PromoTheRobot]

On the plus side for the Knights, Vegas can't fall any further than 16th pick. Vancouver lost 3 straight.

I realize it benefits us and there is also the television appeal, but man do I hate that standings can be determined by shootouts.

I wonder if we might be able to steal Thompson from under their noses like we did with Mogilny  🙂

[Flashsabre]

Seguin and Benn looked cooked. I was cringing watching them in OT
