“It’s fun hockey right now.”
How a rough Valentine’s Day weekend turned into the springboard the Silver Knights needed to return to the Calder Cup Playoffs:

“We didn’t know what was going on.”
A hole in the ice caused a 25-minute delay that required fire extinguishers to smooth the surface, and an EDM concert going on in the background.
On quite the eventful scene last night:
Blake Coleman on another 2-on-1. Dorofeyev got turned around and couldn't find the puck, and Calgary went the other way.
2-1 Flames
Mitch Marner gets the tip on Shea Theodore's shot and they finally get one by Wolf.
1-1 at 1:47
49-93-61 continues to be very good.
Morgan Frost held for as long as he could off the Lauzon turnover, and sniped it past Hart on Calgary's second shot.
1-0 Flames

“Every time I’m going to come back here in the future, it’s exciting for me. This will always be a home in my heart.”

And here we thought it was going to be a calm coast to the end of the season. Silly us.
A quick reset for the Golden Knights with seven games to go:
www.reviewjournal.com/sports/golde...
End of 2: Golden Knights 3, Canucks 2
Two goals by defensemen and the third's primary was from the blue line. Not sure the last time that happened.
Shots are 25-17 #VegasBorn
Not sure Shea Theodore has had a breakaway like that outside of a shootout. Walks in all alone off the pass from Barbashev after winning the puck battle and fires it home.
2-2
Great play by Tomas Hertl on the rebound to find an open Rasmus Andersson for his third goal in four games.
Tie game.
Marner nearly with the goal of the year, fires it wide between his legs.
We've got a mix in the top six.
Howden-Eichel-Dorofeyev
Barbashev-Marner-Stone
R. Smith-Hertl-Sissons
C. Smith-Dowd-Kolesar
McNabb-Theodore
Hanifin-Andersson
Lauzon-Korczak
Evander Kane in his 1,000th game, off a 2-on-1 after Lauzon misplayed the puck.
1-0 Vancouver
Power play off to an ... eventful start in the Torts era.
Enjoy the hockey.

Well. Uh.
The Golden Knights fired Bruce Cassidy this afternoon and replaced him with John Tortorella.

Dylan Strome one-timer fresh out of the box.
We're tied again. 11:06 to go.
Oh, boy. Marner for tripping. Capitals, from down a man for 4 minutes, now go on a 4-on-3.
In the spirit of Easter, PP1 has risen. Mitch Marner from the point, Stone in front.
Golden Knights, by way of divine intervention, have the 4-3 lead.
Kolesar for tripping. Capitals back to the power play, or in other words, the Golden Knights have them right where they want them.
Jack Eichel on the rebound.
This game is drunk, and it is tied.
Two shorthanded goals in 25 seconds has to be a record of some sort.
The building is alive again.
Uhhhhhh.
Rasmus Andersson shorty.
3-2
What the hell?
Off the floor, on the board. Nic Dowd revenge goal is here. What a play for his first in a gold sweater.
3-1
Rough game for McNabb continues with the high stick.
Anthony Beauvillier on the tip.
3-0 Washington
Boo birds are out with 24 seconds left on the power play.
