There is an old saying among hockey fans that a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in sports. The Vegas Golden Knights found this out the hard way.

Before game 2 between the Stars and Golden Knights, Jonathan Marchessault told the Athletic’s Jesse Granger that tonight’s game was a must win and that he expected his team to show up.

In the last 200 minutes of play, the Golden Knights have scored just one goal with an opposing goalie in the net. Tonight, the Golden Knights offensive problems continued as they were shut out for the second time in three games.

The last time the Vegas Golden Knights played in a game 7, the conclusion became something fans and players alike would like to forget. Friday night’s game 7 against Vancouver made up for those transgressions that happened last season.

Sometimes a hockey team can do everything right and still lose. The Golden Knights fell victim to this idea Tuesday night.

The National Hockey League Stanley Cup Playoffs have introduced some interesting things into the playoff format. One of the most peculiar of them include back-to-back games, which have not been around in the playoffs for awhile. Aug. 29 and Aug. 30 saw the Golden Knights facing off against the Canucks and winning both games.

In hockey playoff series, the second game often becomes more important than one might think. This is because the team that won game one has a huge opportunity to take a stranglehold on the series. The team that lost game one also desperately needs to win game two, so they do not go down 2-0.

One day before the Vegas Golden Knights were set to open the second round against the Vancouver Canucks, the Golden Knights became the focus of some major controversy. The controversy involved their goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and his agent, who posted a picture of Fleury being (metaphorically) stabbed in the back by head coach Peter DeBoer.

The Golden Knights faced off against the Chicago Blackhawks in game two on Thursday, winning in overtime 4-3 after an up-and-down game.

For the first time in Vegas Golden Knights history, Marc-Andre Fleury did not lead the team out onto the ice to start a best-of-7 playoff series.
