It looked like a somewhat uninspired from the Golden Knights but they managed to stay in the game for a majority tying it at one and two. Both times they surrendered the lead. A number of Vegas shots hit the post included a James Neal 3rd period attempt that even fooled the T-Mobile Arena goal horn operator. In the end, the Golden Knights just could not find the equalizer and dropped their first out of five games against the Coyotes.

- The sappy “holy crap they made the playoffs” post is still coming. Although it’s going to be more like an “I’m not ready to reminisce” article.
- UFA contract negotiation updates on Neal and Perron.

Couple solid chances in close late, but this one was never meant to be VGK's game. Took too long to get going and then when they did they couldn't bribe the post. #VegasBorn

Am I the only one who sees a negative correlation between the 1000 decibel “SCORRING FOR YOUR GOLDEN KNIGHTS”….message made right about the time the first opponent rush post goal comes and the VGKs inability to stop that rush? Yet another game giving up a goal and momentum within minutes of scoring.
