Clear Skies In Carolina - Game Notes - 06.03.26

Well- Well, I did hear some news.

I did hear some news to bring this b- get this back on the rails.

They did drop some ticks in Carolina.

Carolina brought 'em in to try to slow down this Vegas Golden Knights team.

Ooh.

Because they are out of control right now.

Seven games they've won in a row.

I saw a great stat that the, the win percentage on the teams they've beaten is the, is the, is the best.

Like, it, it's the hardest strength of schedule of the teams they've beaten.

Obviously it started with, uh, Colorado, or Anaheim, who was good.

Then Colorado four in a row, and now Carolina, who was just a beast all year.

They beat them.

Uh, seven in a row.

It looked a little dicey early though, Arm Dog.

It did.

Like, what was your expectation going in the game? Like, I, I kind of felt like, I was like, "Okay, let's see what this is.

This is two teams, play similarly." I was going through the pros and the cons.

Like, Vegas is bigger.

Vegas's stars are bigger.

Uh, Vegas does this better.

Carolina does this really well.

Uh, Stoff put out the tweet that he thinks Carolina will get it done with their speed, which was really evident in the first period.

Ehlers right out the gates, 25 seconds into the game, bing, first goal in transition, quick strike.

I, I, I was just like, I was pretty adamant though, Merles, w- if Vegas could get their feet under them and just kind of settle into this game, that it, that the game would change.

You know what I mean? I don't know if you were feeling that way too.
