Stone says "let's be honest" the game should have been over after 2, but it was Fleury who kept them in the game, and then two big saves in first 20 seconds of OT.
Also says the team's best line of the playoffs scored the equalizer, speaking on Marchessault.

The Golden Knights had 599 penalty minutes in 82 regular season games - lowest in the league.
They currently have a league-high 201 penalty minutes in nine playoff games - including 134 in their two losses in this series.

THOMPSON: "my career - I’ve said that many times. And I love being Adin’s goalie partner, we’ve become brothers on and off the ice. I’m happy to accept whatever role is given and look forward to coming back healthier and better in every way. I can’t wait for camp!

Hockey won't work in the desert.
Vegas will be terrible.
The winning won't last.
This winning is a fluke.
They wont get past L.A.
They've met their match in San Jose.
It was fun, but Winnipeg is the best team left.
DAMN, HOME ICE ADVANTAGE IN THE STANLEY CUP FINAL?!?!?

Zay Jones just hauled in an underthrown 40-yard post for a TD, after sprinting by Casey Hayward Jr., and veered into a gallery of media as if it was opening night. It was his second celebration of the morning.

This young man was on his way to a job interview and had a bit of trouble with his tie. The lady in the red coat noticed him struggling and nudged her husband with her elbow. She then blocked him to help him evade any embarrassment. What a beautiful photo!
Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said this morning All-Star goalie Logan Thompson was close to being cleared, but was unsure when.
Tonight I was told by someone with knowledge, that barring any unforeseen circumstances, the target day is Saturday for Thompson.

owner Mark Davis was at the team facility. Saw him walk across the front lobby in what feels a bit somber this morning. Bit of a stoic look on his face.
Our AP photo saw him a little after, saying hi to those in lobby before getting in his Mini Cooper to leave.
This quote from
@ZachWhitecloud
in July epitomizes his heart and soul for the game. I don't care who you are, you have to feel for a great young hockey player who got the hockey world to learn his name and earned the respect of some of the league's best players.

“There’s an old saying when something gets taken away from your everyday life, you see how much you need it. You crave it. You need that stimulus. For me, hockey is that stimulus. I don’t know what life is without it.”
Zach Whitecloud in his own words👇
"I felt that support from the stands. Probably pumped me up even more. I always loved playing here, even when I was coming (from) Florida (to) here. Great experience playing here in front of this crowd. Still think it's the best fans in the league."

Among goaltenders who have made at least seven starts in the postseason, Adin Hill ranks No. 1 with a .934 save percentage, and is No. 3 with a 2.11 goals-against average.

When DeBoer congratulated Fleury on being nominated for the Vezina Trophy, he said the 36-year-old immediately credited his teammates and called it a team award.

Going on a limb here to say this is the first time in the history of ice hockey that a brother and sister scored at possibly the exact same moment - if not, seconds apart - with Phill Kessel scoring for the Knights in Chicago and Amanda Kessel scoring for Team USA in Henderson.
Received a text from an AP colleague who I hadn't spoken with since VGK's Stanley Cup run. He wanted my CashApp ID because he had a gift for me from a Facebook fundraiser for freelancers who are out of work.
Talk about being floored! WOW! So very thankful of this gesture.

The roster for "Team Reilly" has been announced for the Battle For Vegas softball game.
Joining captain Reilly Smith will be Golden Knights members Jonathan Marchessault, William Karlsson, Jack Eichel, Dylan Coghlan, Keegan Kolesar, Nic Hague, Logan Thompson and Zach Whitecloud.
Denver and Las Vegas sports fans the last 12 months...
Denver celebrated the Avalanche with a parade last Summer and will celebrate the Nuggets today.
Las Vegas cheered the Aces with a parade last Fall and will celebrate the Golden Knights Saturday.
Meanwhile, in the AFC West.

I wish I would have gotten more of this, but Marc-Andre Fleury was last off the ice and took his time as the crowd gave him a huge roar... so he delayed a little more, soaking up the love from his fans.

Remember what

told us after the MNF game: "The first day I moved here, Tom Brady was on the front cover of the newspaper."
The paper of record has him on the front page of its Replay section after Sunday's loss with a slippery headline 👀👇
You outlasted most Bulldogs!!!
You made everyone smile!!!
The best there ever was!!!
Thank you for 12 1/2 years of laughter and love!!!
RIP Daisy Girl.
A friend, a Golden Knights fan, just texted me and compared Brady's return to Foxborough for this game to when Fleury returns to Las Vegas for a game.
Poor soul.
Not even close.

While the rest of Las Vegas is still reeling from the firing of Gerard Gallant, I'm a little more disturbed that after 22 years with the company that secures the T&M and Sam Boyd, a beloved fixture at UNLV events has been let go.
