Golden Knights Confident, Will Tie the Series with Minnesota Tonight
Everyone knows the Stanley Cup playoffs are a marathon, not a sprint, but the Golden Knights are still stuck at the starting gate, after losing 1-0 in overtime Sunday in Game 1.
“I don’t look at last nights game like we totally outplayed them and walked out of their robbed in the game,” said Golden Knights Head Coach Pete DeBoer. “I thought we could have won that game, we did enough we could have won it, but again, we didn’t play well enough, long enough to make sure we won it. I think we can be better and we have to be better. I think our group has been real good at self-evaluation and response, I think that’s one of the strengths of our group, they’re an honest group.”
For just the fourth time in their brief playoff history the Golden Knights lost the opening game of a series, however they are 3-0 in Game 2’s following that game one loss.
“I think the experience helps,” said Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb. “Goes a long ways, we’ve got guys in this room that have won multiple Stanley Cups, we’ve got great leadership throughout our whole team and it’s one game. There is a lot of hockey left.
The “Puck drops here” tonight at 7pm in Vegas.
