Less-than-ideal start for John Gibson’s Red Wings debut….

On the bright side, those Detroit uniforms are incredible and Gibby’s vintage setup looks tremendous with them.

Jack Eichel on how much the talent of the roster played a factor in his decision to stay in Vegas- "That’s one of the reasons why this is such a special place to play. It’s an organization that wants to win the Stanley Cup every year, and as a player, that’s all you can ask for."

First game of the year, and what a hockey game it has been!

Golden Knights and Kings are heading to OT tied 5-5.

Jesse Granger @jessegranger.bsky.social · 21h

Brandt Clarke ties it 5-5 with a backdoor tap-in.

Another great play by Quinton Byfield, who looks like he's leveled up for 2025-26.

Trevor Moore makes it 5-4 with a shorthanded breakaway.

The Golden Knights' top line is COOKING.

Marner to Barbashev to Eichel back to Barbashev for a tap-in goal.

That was pretty.

5-3 Vegas

Holy moly.

Mitch Marner with a gorgeous play, and Jack Eichel crushes the one-timer into the net.

Look out, NHL.

Last year the Golden Knights had their best power play ever, finishing 2nd in the NHL at 28.3%.

I know it's only one game... but this year's might be better. They're whipping the puck around the zone against what should be a good PK.

Jesse Granger @jessegranger.bsky.social · 22h

Pavel Dorofeyev hat trick!

He buries yet another into a wide-open net after a brilliant pass by Mark Stone.

3-3

Jesse Granger @jessegranger.bsky.social · 22h

Eichel is so good at using his body to shield the puck.

He draws a penalty doing it there, and the Golden Knights will have a 5-on-3 for 1:13, looking for the tying goal.

Jesse Granger @jessegranger.bsky.social · 22h

Spectacular passes by Jack Eichel and Mark Stone, and Pavel Dorofeyev puts it into the wide-open net for his 2nd goal of the night.

Quinton Byfield has been so good tonight, and he just saved a goal by stick-checking Mitch Marner just before he got to a puck in the crease with a wide open net.

Pavel Dorofeyev gets Vegas on the board with a sneaky little shot that tricked Forsberg.

He timed it perfectly, firing it between the defender's legs in transition.

Quinton Byfield took Jeremy Lauzon to school for a breakaway, then deked Hill out and roofed the backhander.

2-0 Kings
