Jeff Paul: Game Three: It’s Tuch Time The Vegas Golden Knights will deploy Alex Tuch as their first line center, looking to avenge their Game Two home loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

Still frustrating to me that the Wild were fleeced out of Tuch In the last expansion draft.

And this is who the Wild protected.

Zach Parise, Mikko Koivu, Jason Pominville, Mikael Granlund, Nino Niederreiter, Charlie Coyle, Jason Zucker

Well Coyle is playing for us now...

Definitely a fav player in Tuch. Was a great addition and he has really come into his own.

Go Vegas!!

Pretty dominating period. PP continues to be useless. It’s gonna come back to bite them at some point.

Yup. Though thinkin ref shoulda called the second penalty there on the slash.

Geeez. Almost gave up a shorty too

And just when we get a lead…. Bloody hell

Vegas PP is one of the worst I've ever seen. They are just lazy out there.

Hard to win a series if you can't even get one goal on the PP.

30-8 SOG… 1-1…

Idk if I should be laughing or crying at this. Will depend on the result.

Inexcusable

Maybe he felt sorry for them because they hadn’t done anything all game and was in a giving mood?

Well deserved L. Montreal came out in OT like gangbusters.

The Fleury goal was horrid in every single way imaginable. Demoralized VGK and gave the Habs life.

Jesus what a time to have a total mental lapse and give up a bad one. Fleury just went full Freddy Andersen there.

And of course lose in OT at that too. Bloody hell.

Are your backends sore ?

Are you going to be able to work in the casino today ?

GO HABS GO
GO HABS GO

MAF now joins the (He handled the puck like a cow handles a shotgun highlight reel) right beside Steve Smith. I'm a Wild fan but let's go Vegas!!!!!! Time to get serious and beat Montreal, The Habs are undeserving of even being In the playoffs.

Haven't seen Vegas play much until the playoffs, so I was quite surprised to watch how Fleury...

1) Gives up a LOT of juicy rebounds
2) over-reacts and puts himself out of position - leaving the net wide open
3) can't play the puck if his life depended on it

Was he like this in the regular season?

i'd give Fleury a mulligan on that really bad goal. Vegas nowhere without him this seaon after the Knights treated him like a piece of poop. Went out an got Lehner who was lousy compared to MAF. Tried to trade MAF's ass to anyone in the off season - this after he joined a new team and basically put them on the map.

Oh I wasn't talking about a specific goal.
Just generally - that's my observations in watching him in playoffs so far.

He scares me (not in a good way) sometimes. TB would put in a lot more of those rebounds than Habs have.

Every time he touches the puck behind the net I have visions of a Hab turning that into a goal.

Deboer's comments about guys playing center is interesting and refreshing to hear, wish he'd have a chat with his ol buddy Maurice about that.. Lol

Signs pointing to Lehner starting today. That’d be real ballsy move by DeBoer.

This is why DeBoer is an idiot. MAF is prime for a rebound game and the players can step up and bail out a teammate. It isn't MAF's fault the forwards can only score 2 goals on 45 shots

But it was his fault the game went to OT.

I don’t really care who starts. I’m a fan of the team not any individual. But I am surprised he made the switch. Considering Lehner has been off for so long.

Anderson was also somebodies man, who wasn't covered. No word on who that was. Someone didn't make a great play in OT with a turnover, and the defensive pair is guilty of a horrible change, never caught their names tho

Vegas playing uninspired hockey so far 1/2 way through the 2nd
