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.

I saw it. Both teams played good, aggressive hockey. That tripping penalty (good call!) was very costly. The announcers had just finished saying that Caroline was not great during the power play all season. Well, they were good when it counted.
Yeah, I love when finals go back and forth like this. So exciting!
So I hear. Who will occupy the AAC? Tractor pulls?
Probably become a Mega-Church like the former Compaq Center.
The trade of Lil Stanky for Rantenen may have been a stinky.
Canada - Still no Stanley Cups since 1993.

He’s probably been hanging around Popovich too long.
Could be.
I’ll be watching anyway.
That’s his issue.
“ That 2nd Howden goal was one of the best I’ve ever seen.”
Former NY Ranger traded away for a third round pick.
I’m rooting for Vegas over the ex-Hartford Whalers!! Im a member of the Whalers fan club (the only defunct NHL team fan club).
True, the Whalers were stolen by Bettman and Lowell P(outing gasoline on a Fire) Wackjob, known for two things, letting Peter Karmoron buy the team (Dad said a local group wanted to buy it and keep it in Hartford for 20 years, but Peter K gave him a board seat on CompuWare board.) and letting the Democrats spend money after he gave the citizens an income tax...
My dad was wearing his Ron Francis #10 Hartford Whalers jersey last night. I just bought a Whalers jersey with a Kevin Dineen on it. Dad played high school hockey against Kevin, when he played at Glastonbury High.

The WHA was headquartered in Hartford, dad said.
