Not exactly the start the Golden Knights were hoping for taking two penalties and avoiding multiple shots off the pipes, however Vegas avoided disaster exiting the period at 0-0. A dominant forecheck led to the Golden Knights first goal from Jonathan Marchessault. Then, a shot from the high slot from Nate Schmidt appeared to hit off the crossbar, the game continued on but was then stopped moments later to take a look at the goal. It was ruled good and Vegas had a 2-0 lead. The Golden Knights played one of their best periods of hockey of the postseason in the 3rd, controlling play and giving the Sharks absolutely no room to breathe. The Golden Knights are going to the Western Conference Finals!!!

VGK really looked like they started to wear on the Sharks in that period. Got to keep the pedal on the gas though.

An unselfish play by the man who was let go by the San Jose Sharks! And the Golden Knights have done it! They're going to the Western Conference Finals!

Two requests for Mr. Foley….
1. Issue stock so we can buy shares in the Golden Knights ala the Packers and the Celtics.
2. Regardless of the outcome of the next series (and then the finals)…..Please take the players, coaches, staff and families (add the Sin Bin guys too) for a week in Hawaii for a vacation. That gesture worked well for Eddie DeBartolo and the 49ers.
Thanks
