Stanley Cup Finals; Vegas Golden Knights vs. Carolina Hurricanes
https://www.nhl.com/ ^

Posted on 06/04/2026 6:39:10 PM PDT by WhoisAlanGreenspan?

The Brett Howden shoe is in full swing here. Seconds after Carolina kills a penalty and gets the crowd going, Howden comes in and scores a gorgeous goal, not only beating all-world defenseman Jaccob Slavin to the net, but using his body to shield off his check and then beating Freddy Andersen with a slick move.

That's now 13 goals for Howden - yes, you read that right. The guy is on fire.

Vegas now has two goals on six shots.

Carolina needs a spark here. They look a step behind Vegas.

It’s nuts. We were traveling today and just got home in time to see each one of these goals. Not looking good for the Hurricanes.

VKG’s Mitch Marner has a hat trick with all goals being scored in the 2nd period.

I notice hockey is different than soccer in that an own goal is awarded to the last offensive player to shoot the puck.

Not even considering the 2 disallowed goals in the 2nd period, VKG was very close to tacking on 2 or 3 more goals than the 4 they officially scored that period.

This series has to go seven games. It’s already turning into a classic series.
