Should Adin Hill get the start in Game 4?#VegasBorn | #StanleyCup https://t.co/sF09W4dwPs pic.twitter.com/oFHEkCXEFv

Fantastic stick from Smith to breakup what looked like a sure clearance. Eventually Theodore walks it to the high slot and fires one to the top corner. VGK have a lead for the first time since Game 1.

1-0 VGK

They gotta split up Eichel and Stone at this point, Stone seems to be playing a step behind, need a finisher up with Eichel to get him going. Vegas’ forecheck seems non-existent compared to the Wild’s. Need to get the cement out of the skates and show some desperation. #VegasBorn

— Al Powers (@powersimagery) April 26, 2025

I'm still pretty optimistic, we look miles better than we have the last 2 games, good defense for the most part, fast on the puck, getting our chances. Trust the process#VegasBorn    @GoldenKnights

— y-A Knight in Playoffs Country (@KnightTimeTX) April 26, 2025

Our Knights are just playing too sloppy and weak.

Wild are dominating them and will beat the Knights in 5.#VegasBorn

Just said in the still-going-after-years @VegasKnightly group chat: “It’s just embarrassing overall if Vegas bombs this shit. I don’t know another explanation for it.”#VegasBorn

— Andrew Choi (@choi_aj) April 26, 2025

Eichel, Petro and Hanifin enjoy the bench. They are unplayable right now. #vegasborn MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT BRUCE

— Glenner (@gglenner) April 26, 2025

We won the Pacific Division and then just decided that was good enough for us. I mean what the hell is going on? #VegasBorn

— ???????????????????? ???????????????????????? (@aaronsygiel) April 26, 2025

The same mistake VGK made in Game 3 has now been made by the Wild in Game 4. Too many men penalty gives the VGK PP another big chance.

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) April 26, 2025

Keep Eichel and Hertl; dispense with everyone else. Rebuild the team with young, hungry players. Try again next year.

Every facet of the game is so bad right now.

All of it. #vegasborn

This game is going worse and worse.#Vegasborn

— y-2023 STANLEY CUP CHAMPS (@Thuzhan29) April 26, 2025

Big difference on this Wild/VGK game is Gustavsson. #VegasBorn just needs to penetrate his weakness by positioning themselves properly in front of the crease and be ready for rebound.

— ????⚔️Nickyrian⚔️???? (@nickyrian) April 26, 2025

Why are @GoldenKnights playing like this is the first time they've ever met? There is no sense of urgency, passes are sloppy, defense is lackluster & offense just doesn't care if they score. Where are the real #vgk ?#GoKnightsGo #VegasBorn #2025StanleyCupPlayoffs #ForTheRealm

Playoff hockey and vp, name a better combo…

The Golden Knights are going to need to force the Wild to do something they haven't done all year, blow a game with a lead to start the 3rd period.

Minnesota are 31-0-0 carrying a lead into the 3rd. The only team in the NHL with a perfect record.

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) April 26, 2025

20 minutes to save the series. #VegasBorn

— Alex Norwood (@AlexNorwood23) April 26, 2025

Not for nothing but these next 20 are the season. #VegasBorn

— Eric Rabbers (@ERuns) April 26, 2025

We need two off this PP of 4 minutes! #Vegasborn

Gustavsson has taken every good look from Vegas and made big time saves. Impressive stuff from him. It’s gonna have to be greasy. #vegasborn
