Las vigas. The Golden Knights hit the jackpot again on their home turf in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Although the Dallas Stars played better, they won again in sudden death and are now just two wins away from the Stanley Cup Final.
– It’s been a long road, but we kept tiring them out and finally got paid, William Karlsson tells Sportbladet after the 3-2 win.
Yes, the second round between the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars also went into overtime and that means that for the first time in history, this year’s inaugural four Conference Finals were decided this way.
On a Sunday morning at the T-Mobile Arena – the game started at 12:00 Vegas Time Impossible! – However, he searched for a long time that the stars would connect the western chain.
They were the better team, preventing the Knights from getting any chances whatsoever and taking a 2-1 lead with two and a half minutes remaining.
But then Jacques Eichel posted a fine chip from behind the penalty area to Jonathan Marchesault in front of it and moments later he was level.
– Mm, that can be considered quite decent, William Carlson smiles when we meet him next.
– He was really great and Marchesault rarely misses the position.
“He sat far inside.”
Then overtime only lasted a minute before Chandler Stephenson grabbed and scored a rebound to make it 3-2.
– It’s all about winning, no matter what it looks like, continues Wild Bill.
– This time it was deep, Dallas is very good at playing with bullets, but we kept weakening him and finally got paid for it. It feels like a really nice scalp.
It’s also typical of Vegas returning underdogs. Almost 80 percent of the matches they won in the playoffs this year happened exactly this way.
– Is that much? Heh, yes. Yes, of course it is a great strength, as William points out.
The hope is that he and his teammates, now up 2-0 in the series, will take another step toward the Stanley Cup Finals over the next two games in Texas.
It will be difficult to go to Dallas and beat them there, but we stick to the mentality of one game at a time and we will try to win the next game. We hope we can make a better match than today.
The next match will take place on Wednesday night.
