WINNERS! Golden Knights Eliminate Ducks in Blowout Victory, Advance to Western Conference Finals
When the Vegas Golden Knights took the ice on Thursday night, they did so with one mission: beat the Anaheim Ducks and advance to the Western Conference Finals. They certainly rose to the occasion– they struck 62 seconds into the first period and never let up en route to a 5-1 victory. Less than a minute into the first period, William Karlsson sprung Mitch Marner on a breakaway.
What followed was one of the most impressive goals in Golden Knights history. Marner moved in on Lukáš Dostál, shielding the puck from a pursuing Jackson LaCombe. When Dostál moved to cut off Marner’s angle, the forward pulled up, stopping on a dime.
Marner went forehand-backhand-forehand-backhand, and finished the play off forehand, between-the-legs, while skating backward. Mr. Game Six.
Stretch pass from William Karlsson, and Money Mitch is in on a breakaway. Dostál closes him off, no problem. Money Mitch with the pull up, tucks it home, and puts his team up early.
