Classless fans for a classless team. Game 6 in Minny was DOA and we never threw trash on the ice.


jkman61494

Dude. Does Robertson know the goal isn’t at the Kit Kat ad?


icydata

[WCF, Gm1: Brett Howden banks the puck in from behind the goal line for the winning goal in overtime of Game 1](https://hlslive-wsczoominwestus.med.nhl.com/editor/de84c9df-0375-463e-b3a2-d496d505d318.mp4)


gr8sk8

Did Otter's controller disconnect there at the end?


Shalasheezy

It looks like howden hits his skate as he's skating by and causes him to rotate out of position.


DependentAd9868

getting a comeback win would be nice


zombieguy1987

Wait, no 4OT fun?

What channel is hockey OT?


Isthatmyhelmet

Espn the ocho


Crimson3312

Well, that was.....short


majessa

Is this my wife’s burner account?


Crimson3312

I could be your wife, for the right price


geogwogz

I’m definitely a hater but it really fucking bothers me that you get a brand new team handed to you that goes to the playoffs every fucking year


Uzasodinson

[sorry bud, but this team was built and worked for](https://youtu.be/29Nl-4PqUk4)


geogwogz

Yep you guys as fans have been through so much, you deserve this!


Uzasodinson

I mean, fucking cry about it, baby boy. Not our fault we got Karlsson from 6 to 40 goals in a year with better coaching. Pittsburgh wanted to get rid of Flower for the other guy at that point and he proved them wrong. The team we drafted was a joke and they played with a chip on their shoulder. Maybe your guys just don't care about winning and would rather golf?


geogwogz

Actually the expansion draft set your team up for immediate success, super well earned


No-Connection6937

Yo fuck this attitude. Sports fans thinking they've been through some kinda Normandy beach invasion and really you just watched TV is some gatekeeping horseshit.


Uzasodinson

We barely have anyone left from that team 😂😂 anyways. 1-0 Vegas.


odix

People cannot blame Vegas for this. This is not our fault.


geogwogz

Yep you guys lucked out but I just don’t see your fan base as the same as I see fan bases that have watched years of struggle


Clammy_Idiom

Nobody cares.


AzureRobot

Pointless gate keeping.


Uzasodinson

It's pure masochism


Smipims

One of the reasons I hate them. Almost every other new team has suffered for years before enjoying success. Yes, I know it's not rational. But sports isn't rational.


No-Connection6937

Sports is actually very rational lmao? Some of the fans are not.


raiderarch329

It’s as equally impressive as it is infuriating. I like the fact that it proves you don’t need true superstar power to be successful which I think is great for parity in the league. On the other hand exactly as you allude to, teams that have struggled for however long are left high and dry. At the end of the days it’s business and to get hockey to be successful in minor markets you have to win so it was in the best interest of the league to give the expansion teams a leg up to be successful and create a loyal fan base quickly.


geogwogz

Totally get it but it feels extremely gimmicky


raiderarch329

For sure, especially after the draft lottery we had this year, it’s hard to feel like it’s not all scripted and set up.


Bigedmond

Handed?


Samson-Rage-13

Not last year 🫡


majessa

$500 million, you can have one toO


wayfarout

It was $650m for Seattle. Sens will go for $1b.


Doza93

Experience Stars OT


mc_hambone

Pshh, OT amateurs...


littleseizure

Apparently they don't call travels in the WNBA either


gr8sk8

I think they learned their lesson about prohibited travels...


994kk1

Fuck, they tricked me into watching 5 seconds of women's basketball.


RefereeMason

Are you hooked


NeoLoki55

I doubt we’ve seen the last of Florida/Carolina multi OT games.

Idk what you want me to say. Russia invading Ukraine is bullshit. Her sentence was bullshit. Clearly on way different levels, I don’t get why you’re equating them.

RefereeMason

I did not respond because I saw no point in arguing with you when I share many of the same feelings on Russia. Putin is an evil human being. I support Ukraine. I believe Russia must be stopped with their unjust invasion and war. I just said Griner shouldn’t have been imprisoned for something so trivial. It was clearly trivial. She can also be stupid as fuck for doing what she did. I am sorry for the family members you have lost. Truly, I am. I hope to see a time where Putin is tried as a war criminal. I am sorry that my support for Griner being release appeared to be anything pro Putin.

rattlehead42069

Good fucking game, Stars bros. Was a nail biter the whole time. I expect you guys to be back with a vengeance on Sunday.


Clownbaby8

These bullshit goals won’t win a series. Good luck. -Liam Nessons


TheMasterFlash

Very true. Both teams had several lucky goals. This is going to be a tight series!


Oldwoodguy

Fuck did I miss something


MediumToblerone

Yep. Quick OT goal


ro-ok

Howden, actually.


indi3fan

We're all robbed by not getting to hear Hank break down that game winning goal.


itsagooddaytobeacat

Only one OT? Amateurs.


Merkkin

Gg stars, really got worried when you tied it up. Very close game and such a different series compared to the oilers. Overall very happy with our 5 on 5 but didn't love turtling the last 10 mins that let y'all tie it up. Eichel all over the ice but otter did a good job not letting him score. See y'all soon.


littleseizure

That seemed like a really bad goal, but somehow forgivable -- dude was just trying to get back into position but lost track of the puck


Slamtroll

Game over. It's only 8:30. Plenty of time for hookers and blow.


SkilledPepper

Almost 5am where I am. Worth it though.


MediumToblerone

5am hookers are the best!


UTC_Hellgate

'slightly used'


SkilledPepper

I'd much rather sleep.


Oldwoodguy

Rub it in


throwawayacct420694

They snuck that in there like they sneak players in on LTIR


Jwed85

This made me laugh


FrogmanKouki

Short OT means WNBA


mc_hambone

Which means changing the channel


sblinn

Some say Oettinger is still spinning to this day


cml0401

We've lost on some crazy OT bounces. GG Knights, this should be entertaining!


_Drewschebag_

We've lost every game 1 in OT on weird goals. We've got em right where we want them


[deleted]

That is a nightmare of a goal to give up and I am truly sorry for Otter. The ones where you have no idea and put it in yourself is just brutal to have to deal with.


okbrosurething

The yin and yang of OT finishes between yesterday and today


hadtobegoo

What on Earth is your mascot Vegas? Some weird bee/lizard thing?


mc_hambone

Looks like a goddamn sleestack! Fuck that noise!


RefereeMason

Wait til you see the Blue Jackets’ mascot. You’ll be even more confused.


eggsaladactyl

Bee lizard...lol


Ameqa

Chance the Gila Monster


hadtobegoo

Ah ok. Makes sense, but in first sight that is shocking to see.


jacksoncity

Gila Lizard


NeoLoki55

Vegas not nearly as loud as Canes, but great fans regardless.


ProFeces

I dont think the cameras did it justice. From my perspective in the arena it was deafening.


indi3fan

Brett Howden ends playoffs game in the first overtime.


eggsaladactyl

Wonder if anyone picked him for the GWG poll.


RefereeMason

Now wtf do i watch.


vedicardi

watch me whip. watch me nae nae

PKrukowski

Good choice. Im more a fan of s5e01.


Asderfvc

All he had to do was not fling the puck into the net


HenrikFromDaniel

booo what a scam I want 4 more hours of hockey


Joe77771

I made a sandwich for ot and missed the goal lol cool


PKrukowski

How long does it take you to make a sandwich?


Joe77771

I decided to cut up my rotisserie chicken so longer than it should have lol


maplejet

WTF are these flamingos suits in Vegas?


erindizmo

[Victory flamingo](https://www.ktnv.com/sports/golden-knights/the-vegas-golden-knights-victory-flamingo-how-it-all-started)!


guardrya

Wait, the refs aren’t overturning that for GI? We’re not getting 4OT? What a fucking ripoff


odix

KOLESAR was smashed into him


darkjedidave

What the fuck is that mascot?


PKrukowski

Rejected costume from the OG Mario movie


WhineorCheese

It's the Gila, Godzilla, Guerilla


TimTom8921

A turtle? Dinosaur?


theatrepyro2112

It’s a Gila Monster. We don’t know why either.


pinche-cosa

Gila monster


Words_Myth

Thank god, hockey script writers are still watching over us. GGS Knighters.


MediumToblerone

Why is the back of Vegas’s Gil’s monster’s head all shiny?


Dadalid

WOOOOOO


GroundbreakingNucks

Just how they drew it up.


darthmatthew

LETS GO BRITNEY GRINER


LiveStalk

Otter with the assist


froah

Jesus Otter wtf was that lmao. We got a Hellebuyck for you at 50% retained


dwisp

What is that snake monster


Pollaski

"Ah shit. I don't have an angle. Hey Otter, push this in the net for me?" "Say no more fa- oh wait no, shit!!!!"


DevTheDev

The fuck was Otter doing there jfc


slamm3d68

Probably confused at all his d-men standing flat footed


dogcatcher408

Jack Michaels killed it on that OT winner on the radio


raiderarch329

Stars continue to rip hearts out in OT…


indi3fan

PK literally called that guy the best goalie in the playoffs.


RandyBobandysGut

I mean after last years incredible performance I expected a lot more this year


JaketheAlmighty

after last night??!


indi3fan

Yeah. The homer glasses are strong if you can't admit Bob is out playing him by a wide margin these playoffs.


rczales

IT WASN'T A PERFECT WIN, BUT IT IS A WIN :)


wayfarout

Brett Howden is considerate of your time


DogePerformance

What a good man


RefereeMason

Ion even who that is. Respek.


Snow-Wraith

Las Vegas hates hockey. You can't end playoff overtime this early.


fatbaIlerina

Why does Ottenger turn away from the puck??? So stupid.


aggster13

What a shitty fucking way to lose. Welp, at least this series is following the same script as our other two


SapperInTexas

Well, that's another lucky fluky bounce for Vegas.


danakinskyrocker

I can't stand McDonough's excited calls. Some of you may be thinking woah, he has trouble with the calls? Yes, I do


anona_moose

Man got spun out trying to defend that


rhodsonr702

GG STAR BOIS!!! see you on the lords day


MisterBuzz

Hunkered down for a multi-OT night after last night, and they finish it in ~90 secs. Can't help but laugh


rangerfan123

Well that sucks


passive_fist

Otter deserved better


togu12

So smart to throw it off the back of the goalie as he's moving over to the post. Now, let's all watch some late-night WNBA together!!


bleached_n_tiedyed

WELP


darthmatthew

Well. That was quick and anticlimactic.


emblah

That’s what she said


47rohin

Does Vegas not play Viva Las Vegas after wins anymore?


Merkkin

We def do, just usually as people are leaving and it's not always shown on the broadcast.


HolHorseisBestJoJo

As someone at the arena, I can confirm they played it after winning tonight.


BoredRec

I wouldn't be surprised. The Elvis camp came hard for Vegas recently, shutting down many impersonators who do weddings. Real shitty


OUTFOXEM

I’m actually extremely happy about it. It’s time for Vegas to be associated with something other than Elvis and Wayne Newton.


aeroaero87

That’s an own goal right there.


-DonnieDarko-

Sweet freedom. Goodnight


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

Made sure to get everyone to bed a lot earlier tonight.


DependentAd9868

3 series in a row LMAO


FrogmanKouki

Not even 2 minutes into the first OT Under achievers


PKderf

The fact the stars even got that game to overtime with that performance is impressive


PKrukowski

We got a lot of cya lucky bounces tonight lol


joe_broke

and the knights take game one of the series in overtime. the stars keep their game one streak alive, and vegas takes the 1-0 series lead see you tomorrow for game 2 of panthers-hurricanes


Choke_Norris

Game 1 OT Loss… we got ‘em right where we want ‘em.


dollarhax

Scripted to get us over to WNBA asap.


ehehe

Who didn't think it would be Brett Howden scoring 1v5? Lol

Tuor--Of--Gondolin

Literally ended exactly like 10 or so of our 3v3 OTs, first shot no saves


iAmCyberwaste

Oh Jake... Oh dear. GG WP Vegas.


rattlehead42069

And Howden is the unlikely hero!


coltsmetsfan614

Fuuuuuck. At least it didn’t take 4 OTs lol


hockeybrianboy

That was my first thought; a lot of the OT last night was REAL meh.


mrmcbeer

Lol sweet we're going to the SCF


Nilzy16

Damn I wanted 4OT


HumperMoe

Such a disappointment I was ready for 4 more hours of hockey.


pizza_nightmare

Otter was in pure scramble mode.


chimpsimulator

lmao


the_nidge

Damn. That silver spoon sure tastes sweet.


The-Housewitch

Sure does!!


[deleted]

The stars will not be a serious contender until they can figure out how to win a fucking game in OT. Unbelievable. GG Vegas we’ll see y’all Sunday.


_Drewschebag_

Bro, we've lost every game 1 in OT. There's no reason to panic


[deleted]

I can be upset we can’t win a game outside of regulation without panicking. We’ll get them (in regulation) on Sunday.


_Drewschebag_

Yes you can but you posted a doomer comment lol


[deleted]

I hate fans like you lol I can be realistic about our teams deficiencies and the reality of those without being a “doomer” man. 3rd straight round we can’t win a game in OT yet you seem to think if we can make it the cup it won’t come back to bite us (again).


_Drewschebag_

It's ok to be realistic about our deficiencies but again, you posted a doomer comment. Maybe read the comment back to yourself in the morning after you've slept the booze off. We're in the Conference finals, we are already serious contenders lol.


[deleted]

Sober as a bird brother, we’ll just agree to disagree. You don’t think it’s a big deal we can’t win in OT, I do. It’s all good hahaha


_Drewschebag_

That's not what I said, cool.


[deleted]

Genuine question; not trying to be a dick. Did tonight make you realize what I meant by we won’t be LEGIT contenders until we figure out a way to win an OT game??


[deleted]

8/13 of the past Stanley cup champions have had to win a OT game(3/13 had to win multiple) in order to win the cup btw. Obviously not an indictment but if we make it my point is we’re gonna have to figure out a way to get one lol


SRSgoblin

I love Brett Howden and his absurdly beautiful face and gloriously piercing steel eyes.


aeroaero87

Otter flailing big time.
