Okβ¦. Iβm definitely going to not be humble about this but thatβs me asking a first ballot HOF goalie about pranking people and the National Hockey League putting it in their package.
Marc-Andre Fleury is a national treasure. π. Is the @GoldenKnights goalie the number one Locker Room Legend? #NHLFanChoice . VOTE π

@LaserBlade Iβve never lived there but my wife is Japanese and I have spent lot of time there and I had to laugh at a few of these. Iβve been told the trash bins had something to do with sarin gas attacks. I always see people with pods and staring at their phones especially in Tokyo.

@ElanRene @FuckCarsReddit @TheWarOnCars Right β¦ I spent a week in Nice , France recently and the only reason Iβd need a car there would be a weekend drive in to the mountains. I somehow lost weight despite eating like an absolute slob every single day.

@jDawson2434 @JeffGrubb @VP @POTUS Theyβve made it very clear itβs not a protest against the military, Kap was advised by a veteran on what to do. The right sold the narrative this was an anti military protest , if youβd listen to the people protesting youβd know it wasnβt.

@drewb1165 @ElanRene @FuckCarsReddit @TheWarOnCars My wife is Japanese, she lived 15 minutes her train station. No car and for nearly 20 years she made a 15 walk each way. There is a reason Japanese people tend to outlive Americans. Obviously there are other factors but walking a bit every day certainly helps.

@SouthlandPost Noticed he's wearing a Golden Knights hat. someone might want to fill him that every Golden Knights player wore a Pride jersey this year. Oh and he likes Coke, somebody needs to tell him Coke supports the LGBTQ+ as well.

I donβt know how anyone canβt love what Nick Holden is doing in these playoffs, quite possibly the nicest guy on the Golden Knights is ripping it up. Goals in back to back games and now 8 points in the playoffs oh and he spent most of the season as a healthy scratch #vegasborn.

@DannyDeraney We also have a WWII cemetery in the heart of Manila, 16,000 + Americans laid to rest here. I visited when I lived in the Philippines and itβs really somber amid the chaos of a very busy city. You actually fly over over it when you depart MNL. Iβm not sure many even know it exists

I understand there are a lot of people upset with Fleury and yes itβs a mistake he shouldnβt make but at the end of the day when you have 45 shots and have 4 power plays the game shouldnβt come down to a goalie mistake π.

This is hours after the game ended. I know because I was walking out of the arena and the guy with the boat horn was honking. Had to be at least 11pm and had the person filming walked half a block towards the strip heβd have seen thousands of people in the bars celebrating.
Hereβs a video of Vegas just after winning the cup π.

In chatting with Fleury today I found out that he listened to some Marilyn Manson yesterday on his way to the rink before getting a shutout against the Islanders. He told me heβs a fan and likes Sweet Dreams and Beautiful People. Now that is something I never expected. #VegasBorn.

If #vegasborn fans are looking for some type of omen here is one. When Vegas won the Western Conference in 2018 there was a Shania Twain concert in between games 1 & 2. That was in Winnipeg, guess who is playing in Edmonton between games 1&2 ? Thatβs your Chapmanism for the day.

This is so sad. heartbreaking when anyone loses a pet but I know how much Bark meant to so many in the VGK Fanbase. He was the unofficial mascot in many ways and seeing the way the faces of children would light up when they saw him was incredible. Rest easy Bark. #VegasBorn.

Maybe the funniest aspect of this series is that Evander Kane spent more time running his mouth in the locker room than he would spend looking for his name on the score sheet in this series because his only point was tonight #VegasBorn.

I might catch a lot of shit for this but I am fine with Vegas not giving Marchessault 5 years. Itβs never a sprint. The goal is to be good every year, not just 1 or 2 and this franchise always is 2 or 3 moves ahead of everyone else with these things #VegasBorn.

There is a sad reality that tonight could be the last time we see Jonathan Marchessault play as a member of the Golden Knights. There are other UFAβs as well but Marchessault is the greatest Knight to don the jersey. To me itβs not even debatable that heβs the best #VegasBorn.

I keep laughing at people crying about Pietrangelo being on the ice when the game ended. This isn't a WWF Steel Cage Match, he didn't climb over the glass to get on the ice. He was let out because the game was over. Oh and they ignore the Montour charge on McNabb #VegasBorn

Nick Holden " 3 years here, a lot of good memories, a lot of good people, it's always fun to come back to places you've played and see some familiar faces, would've been nice to get a win against them. A great tribute video, it was unnecessary but it that was nice " #vegasborn.

William Karlsson scores on his own rebound to give #VegasBorn an early 1-0. It was October 21, 2017 he scored his 1st goal for VGK ironically against these St Louis Blues. Heβs scored 95 more for Vegas since then.

In regards to the Mark Stone news, I'm absolutely gutted for him. To see hockey being taken away from him for the 2nd year in a row sucks. I don't know if there is anyone in the world who loves his job more than Mark loves his. Hoping for a full and speedy recovery #VegasBorn.

Always enjoy chatting with Paul Cotter, such a colorful personality. " I practiced in my basement saying I was Sidney Crosby, at the end of the game in the 3rd I was giving him a few hits, I don't know if he noticed me but it was it, it was dream come true" #VegasBorn.
