Vegas   5

Vegas returned home needing a win to stay alive and they played like it. Special teams were the order of the day with the Knights potting a short-handed goal and then 2 power-play goals later on to cement the win. All the stars showed up for this game as Eichel, Horvat, Edler, all scored with Larkin having a pair in the win. Is there finally a crack in Lehtonens armour or simply just an off night and can Vegas continue to push this comeback all the way? Back to Nashville for Game 6 with Nashville still leading 3-2.

Hawks   1

Stars    3

After some spicy verbal barbs were exchanged between the self proclaimed Asian Sensation and his west coast counterpart the real action took place on the ice. Once again GM Junya stirred it up to the point were normally relaxed GM Yee engaged in some quality banter....GM Yee was the clear winner in that battle but GM Kato had the last laugh eliminating Daves Hawks in Game 5. Let's call this series as it has been.....Junyas Stars had quality goaltending throughout this series while Daves Hawks have pretty much shit the bed and despite playing well have had to chase the game repeatedly and thats about as simple as it gets! It baffles me how these same Stars couldn't score against a fringe starter in Howard but have embarrassed "the King" but as long as these Stars can keep the goals against low they are going to be tough to knock off! Stars win 4-1........ugggghhhh!
