third time in four years to the semis for vegas it's the first time in seven years for montreal philip de noe took the opening face-off with josh anderson and paul byron as it's tipped in and now flipped down by arturi lekken into his goals in the final two games against the winnipeg jets out there now with the know and gallagher's centering pass as blurry with an early big stop of brendan gallagher they've been relentless on the puck they've had good sticks and won the battle and it's to know w
ith the backhand pass and what an early save by fleury and now reeves trying to get it out but the fourth line of montreal gets the better of that shift but now [Applause] suzuki after it on the far side now it's coffee old trying that shot big shot rebound kicked away and fleury makes another stop and another turn to side so mark andre blurry shrimp early to see josh anderson moving that way but here's the rebound control in front one two here's a third that goes right off the toe and look at [
Applause] looking for anderson on the right wing he'll fired across the goal mount fleury will give you he'll give you rebounds and second chances there were three chances there off of the top angle shot by congress here's anderson on the booth fleury held his ground what a dangerous dash for josh anderson he's trying to battle through we didn't see this much in the last series from josh anderson fleury does a good job of holding his ground cassie mentioned to watch joss anderson in our pre-game
show and he is flying early here's a face-off win scores with a blast and the golden knights have struck first [Applause] to keep the board gets the match up he wants stevenson across mcnabb for the one-timer and then good screen in front i don't think stone got a piece of it but you can see the reaction of carrie price that he never even moved to this one before he lets theodore know that the penalty has come to an end a couple of shots on that power play riley smith in front jay theodore does
n't take the shot scores martinez does [Applause] [Music] absolutely sells this one wholesale watch it come back to the slot he actually slaps this down on the ice and stops his stick so for carrie price he's got a respect that the shot is coming price is down on his knees martinez right on the doorstep he was ready for it and he pounded that one through you can see price got over it rebound came out in front stone breaks away ready on the left two on one back to stone how did you see that what
a stop carrie price up mark stone a turnover and i said about transition of this vegas team they can make you pay pacharetti with the perfect pass and how about the glove just stayed back in his net able to react side to side and stone made the shot that he wanted he would eric gustafsson suzuki slot shot michael coffee oh he hit the side of the net what a look for cole coffee looking for his first stanley cup playoff goal suzuki in front bumped it's a bullet caught field scores and there it is
his first stanley cup playoff goal is a power play marker and gets the canadians on the board look at it good puck movement from the wall down low little bumper pass and a rebound that there's no way that flurry can put that rebound anywhere else tyler to foley just down low off the far pad and you could see caulfield seven game point streak for tyler to foley the longest for a montreal canadian in the stanley cup playoffs since secuo in 2008 scores tipped in front of the net not a great feed ma
tias janmark gets it back for vegas face-offs are critical aren't they and you saw in the first period the first goal on a clear win this was chandler stevens go to the net good things happen this one caught kanyemi can't control it this gets deflected off of romanoff here as he's trying to get the block hits his stick price can't react and oh just past kulak kulak's looking at the puck but you can see janmark in front gets good position gets his stick on the ice and that one clinching game seve
n victory here alex tucked centers in front big stock price and another up perrier in front of the net back to the line white cloud right out a rebound comes to anderson sweeps it around it'll be kept in there by white cloud who has got an assist on the third vegas goal centering play now picked off by stone [Applause] it was stoned from the other side this time at stone with the pass across and that push with the left foot as price able to catapult across a little awkward at the end of it but h
e did everything in his power he read the pass across was able to dig in and get that one as marcia went down so caught field out to the late stages but back in come the golden knights tuck slot pass a redirect there by shea theodore who's been all over the ice took a run and now a vesna finalist here in vegas forgotten man last year the stanley cup play left corey perry off at the montreal line gallagher trying to get loose and stolen tucks in now it's time in keeping plays alive there's tuck i
n all alone a little between the defend golden shot stopped by price nick holden with that knuckler that got vegas on the board in game seven against colorado riley smith holden moves up holden [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] scores the battle down below william carlson absorbs the hit and a little no-look pass and another cross scene you can see the reaction of price he thought the puck was getting passed back the other way he started over to his left couldn't make the adjustment charada
unable to get there and how about the vegas golden knight defense and now it's martinez turning in the zone gets it to stone mark stone off the boards in front and stevenson tried to deflect it down and price will hold on rory perry along the boards for weber across for caught field perry in front so is to know banging away and mark andre fleury's got that saw earlier similar play like this that created three chances look at fleur he's got it trapped and he makes sure he put pressure down minion

@ski1as

I'm not able to watch the games live. So thank you very much for these great game recaps!

@simvrod

Knight’s goalie really gave the team a foundation to build on. Enjoying all the Stanley cup ice hockey from here in the UK

@jw_023

(1:35) Fleury’s move here to go from the splits to a reset position is impressive as hell.

@levkosenko

Vegas defensemen outshot Montreal's defensemen 18-0. That just a small sample of complete dominance.

@ms.zelman3032

Even though Habs lost, that save from Price at 3:11 to 3:15 was awesome.

@2BCProductions2BC

The Price was right but only for the Golden Knights

@spinoz2319

20 Leafs players went to a bar. "Hey, bartender!" "Yeah?" "Will you please open the TV, there is playoff hockey coming."

@borisgrishenk0

Imagine Vegas sweeps then gets swept in the finals.. Oilers would be the team that got swept by the team that got swept by the team that got swept by the team that got swept by the team that won the cup

@michaelmazzarella72

Hockey is a game of adjustments—if Montreal can’t make them they’re going to get swept

@ColonizerChan

Honestly price did a great job given the deflection goals and one was really really close. Looking at loads of other saves he had, I hope he starts next game. Offense connect on a couple other attempts and habs might be able to pull it off

@kylemac1988

As I said well before the Knights beat us, my upmost respect for Fleury! Pens dropped the ball letting that dude walk! I would be more than content with either team winning the big one!

@TheMAKS702

Добро пожаловать в реальность канадский дивизион..

@user-vv5sx4df7f

Болею за Монреаль. Парни молодцы, с 18 места в полуфинал вошли. Но Вегас реально сегодня их порвал.

@timheyer5660

Vegas wins by putting pucks on net, not dancing around like the Leafs do. Great coaching by the Knights

@jordanbeck2310

thank you for including hits

@darylhodkinson5369

Does anybody Know if the 4th an 5th games are going to be played Commy Canada ... thanks

@PumaTomten

We can surely come to the conclusion that once Fleury left Pittsburgh they stopped being a cup contender.

@sportsfanatic2163

Expected. Montreal a great story but Vegas is a different animal.

@Blizzardous1

love the highlight videos as usual

@nayfenwhen_

It’s over 110 degrees over here in Vegas. How are we good at hockey?
