New York. Will there be a 2017-2018 Wild Bill style show again this year?
Well, William Carlson at least scored a goal on the spot as Vegas opened the season with a dramatic win over the Los Angeles Kings last night.
“It felt good and it was good to get paid right away,” he told Sportbladet after winning 4-3.
Then, when the Vegas Golden Knights entered the league five years ago, it was William Carlson Hotter than the scorching sun of his hometown, and to the astonishment of the outside world, he scored 43 goals.
He has since found it difficult to repeat this feat, but now it seems like it’s time for a repeat.
New Knights coach Bruce Cassidy nearly spoke in tongues about the blond Swede’s intelligence and competence during pre-season and in the night’s season opener, away from the Los Angeles Kings, the 29-year-old from Marsta hit the spot.
Happy with the game – and the result
First, he helped score a goal signed by his old friend Jonathan Marchesault, then he himself channeled Alex Petrangelo’s shot into a power game.
– Yes, it was fun. Overall, I think I played well and of course it’s good to get a bonus already in the first game, says Wild Bill when we get to him after the final whistle.
Like I said, the new coach spoke well of you, how do you feel?
– Of course it’s good to hear that, but I don’t think too much about it, I just try to go out and do my work.
Well, now that you’ve scored the goals live, we journalists think it’s 2018 again…
– lol. Well, I don’t know, I just take it one game at a time.
Decided late
The first show itself was dramatic. The Nevada visitors lost the lead 2-1, 3-2 in the third inning, but with only 26 seconds left, Mark Stone swept the decisive ball behind the heartbroken Jonathan Quick.
“There isn’t really much left and it was great to experience some strong feelings of this kind again,” William continues.
– But even though they have some really good players who don’t need much to score goals, I think we kept the pace for most of the game and won fairly.
Swedish King’s star Adrian Kempe hit his junior season Wild Bill with 35 songs last year and only continued the same way opening this year.
Four minutes into the third half, he scored the first goal of the season with an assist from Radar partner Anzi Kopetar.
However, that wasn’t enough to get any points this time.
