And 36 seconds into the second, Vegas scores - Stone. But a challenge.

Pretty uneventful first period - no score and no penalties.

Kind of strange that they didn't mention the UND connection.

Probably would have been OK if he didn't stick his hip out. Pretty wild last few minutes and OT.

Good to see that a Sioux player will get his name on the cup. It seems like it has been a while since that happened. Is Smith injured? The last I saw he was skating off the ice holding his arm.

Hate to hear of anyone passing away at that age, but he was certainly not many fans favorite player.

No pros -period. One transfer -period. Five years of eligibility -period. No 3 on 3 OT -period. No shootouts - period And stay off my lawn!

Yep, next man up doesn't replace the caliber of those two.

Not the result I expected. Missed the first period and started watching when it was 3-1. Another ugly loss.

I wasn't there but my dad went out to watch after the second OT. They called it after 5 (?) OTs. It was Central and RR.

I thought the Avs didn't play too bad in the first game, although they were certainly outplayed. But it wasn't as lopsided as it might have seemed. They hit two pipes and 29 missed the net on two shots from the slot. Tonight it was a nasty third period collapse and it looked over as soon as Vegas scored their first goal. I don't give Colorado much hope without Makar.

It won't happen, but it would be great to have that sophomore class stick around for their junior and senior years.

Bonus hockey

Does Brad know something he is not sharing with us?

That it will be. Should be a great series to watch.

You knew that when the Wild failed to score on that 2 on 1 early in OT that they weren't going to win.

Very well said.

FYP

And Carolina wins it in OT

That was a wild -ahem -game.

Absolutely. Great to see!

Did the refs send him to the firing squad?

Much as I dislike the portal, picking up Rickwood was way beyond expectations. Get a player like him every season and I might change my mind.

That was a pretty brutal high stick. I watched the video several times. Pretty sure the stick touched him, maybe, barely, a little.

I'm a little concerned about Carels since his season ended a few days ago and no word.
