Vegas comeback win against Colorado
After winning the first two games of the series, Vegas found itself down 3-0 after the first period of Game 3 on Sunday. But the Golden Knights managed to come back, scoring five unanswered goals to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. They can now secure their place in the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday at home.
“I’ve always believed in the team, believed in the group — that we can accomplish what we need to accomplish, no matter what has been said about us. We, as a 23- or 25-man group, whoever’s in that locker room, believe that we can compete. We’re not going to win every night, but if we put our best foot forward, there’s still a feeling that we have a chance to win a game,” Golden Knights captain Mark Stone told reporters after the game.
John Tortorella’s hilarious response
His coach, John Tortorella, used some different – more explicit – words to describe his team’s win.
“This is a game where we showed some balls. I want them to feel it for a little bit, as far as what they did against a really good hockey club. But then we get back to work tomorrow. Two good teams going at it. Again, I’m proud of our club,” Tortorella said at the press conference, making reporters giggle.
