who'd thunk all it would take was to get Scheif out of the center position and on the wing with PLD?  Amazing how one line up change can turn an entire season around, and turn a team that looked flustered and lost into a behemoth who just steam-rolled right over those hapless Vegas bums last night.

Nice to see a consistent grinder like Lowry get a couple of goals.

Lowry always shows up for the playoffs.

Dubois and Connor were really feeling it last night. Scheifele may have been left off the score sheet but I thought that top line had a fantastic game as a whole and gave the Garbage Knights fits as the game went on.

If that's not a statement game, I don't know what is.

Very strong night for the third line.

Tell him he can bag groceries without a degree.

[Noeller]

Lowry shows up, period. He's the heart and soul of the team.... often takes the opening faceoff of the game to set the tone for the night.

I'm trying to counter his C's get degrees with B' s get (blank), A's get (blank).

My low brow humor could only come up with B's get Boobs. I'm obviously struggling.

Yes, off topic.

Go Jets Go. Leafs suck.

Damn near a perfect road game last night.

No Fleury to bail out those pretenders anymore.

Shots fired. 🙂

Just when I think I can't love that Morgan Barron kid any more than I already do, he goes and gets 75 stitches and keeps playing.

If he lands anymore right than he did, we are having a much different conversation right now.

Thank goodness.

I highly respect the Vegas player who showed immediate concern.

[Goalie]

3 more like that. Giving me covid season against the Oilers vibes 

[Mark F]

what woke up the Jets? and what happened to the defence?

allowed two shots on goal third period. 

lowery, Barron, Dubois.

I wonder if Vegas sticks with Brossoitt or goes with Quick  as a change of pace?

If I had known B's get Boobs I would have left the last 10 multiple choice questions blank on most of my exams lol...Go JETS!

I hope Brossoit gets all the starts, he was pretty cocky when he was here said to he was as good as Helle and should be playing more. I originally took it as being at the bar bravado but he really did think a lot of himself.

He was huge in the faceoff circle as well.

I think they will. Vegas is 2 and out kind of team. Look at their coaches 

Quick is the backup right? Thompson is gonzo?

Heard on the broadcast that Thompson is close to coming back? Not sure.😊

I'd also give a bit of love to Appelton, he played outstanding.

The question is can they keep up this pace?

They can if they stay interested. They played like this until the end of December. Let's just see if anyone does something stupid, like run an opponent when they're vulnerable, and fire them up. 

They can take this series.

Game 1 was textbook Bowness hockey and the team bought in again - it was a convincing victory. On the road in hostile territory, no less

I like their chances.
