Now it's up to Florida to answer and they will get a chance on the power play. Whitecloud was amazing during Stanley Cup Final Media Day on Friday, talking about how, when growing up, he didn't play hockey to become an NHL player, he just played hockey because he loved the game so much. They got a bigger thrill when Whitecloud scored with 13:01 left to give Vegas a 3-2 lead. The home fans got a big thrill when Matthew Tkachuk was sent into his own bench by Vegas defenseman Zach Whitecloud. Video: Gm1: Stone bats puck to himself and scores I swear I saw that guy on The Strip today. In what was my favorite part of the game presentation tonight was a bit they just did showing Toby Maguire doing that dopey dance from "Spider-Man 3" and then showing a guy in a "Spider-Man" costume in the crowd.
There is 6:19 left in this game, but Vegas leads 4-2. It was a bad giveaway from Florida that could seal its fate in Game 1. To make matters worse for Florida, due to the failed coach's challenge for high-sticking, Vegas got another power play. Stone batted a clearing pass out of the air - it was close to high stick and it was reviewed - and beat Bobrovsky. This place is absolutely going bonkers right now after Mark Stone scored to make it 4-2 Vegas. Thanks for following along tonight and be sure to catch all the great postgame coverage from NHL.com. There was a big announcement near the end of the game - with Vegas scoring two goals in the third period that means free tacos from Taco Bell for everyone. Then Reilly Smith, another former Panther, iced the win with an empty-net goal.Ī few things to remember: Vegas won Game 1 of the 2018 Cup Final against the Capitals and didn't win another game.įlorida was down 3-1 to Boston in the first round and had gone 11-1 since then.īut if you're Vegas, you could not have asked for a better start - you showed that Sergei Bobrovsky was human, that you could shut down Matthew Tkachuk, and that Adin Hill is ready for the spotlight. It was a wild affair that got a little testy with about four minutes left resulting in multiple penalties and game misconducts for Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk, but when all the dust settled the Golden Knights were 5-2 winners.įlorida nearly made it a 4-3 game with about two minutes left, but Adin Hill stopped Sam Reinhart on a breakaway.
