What the media and fans were saying on Twitter on Saturday about Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final:

Lynda Carter @RealLyndaCarter

Can’t express how happy I am to see my @Capitals in the #StanleyCup finals!! #ALLCAPS

Sting and Shaggy obviously destroy Lil’ Jon. Guessing VGK fans would rather win the series than the pregame entertainment title

Helene Elliott @helenenothelen

In Vegas it was Michael Buffer and ‘Let’s get ready to rumble.’ Here, will it be, ‘Let’s get ready to buy a vowel’?

Steve McInelly @stevemcomedy

Pat Sajak? That’s cute, we have Lil John, Blink 182, Golden Pipes, Michael Buffer and a city full of stars! #GoKnightsGo #VGK #NHL #WINCITY

Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun

No goal, Fleury decked on the play by Smith-Pelly. And in a year when it’s hard to ever tell what goalie interference is, this was the easiest call of the entire season

Patrick Everson @Covers_Vegas

Is it me or is Vegas constantly misconnecting on easy passes and completely whiffing on shots? Seems like a lot of that in Games 2 and 3.

Darren Rovell @darrenrovell

I’d listen to Doc Emrick call The Tortoise & the Hare.

R.J. Anderson @r_j_anderson

Mike Milbury said a team was “eliminating time and space” and I have to say that sounds so much cooler without the proper context.

Adam Hill @AdamHillLVRJ

People love to evaluate games just based on final score, but Fleury may be having one of his best performances of the playoffs in a game the Golden Knights trail 2-0.

Ed Graney @edgraney

Wow … Shea Theodore..skating like you might at the Christmas rink with some hot coco…

Totally unaware, forces Fleury to come out and we are 4-on-4 after penalty…

Las Vegas Locally @LasVegasLocally

All the corruption and degeneracy of our nation’s capital seems to be wearing down the Good Guys.

Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann

You can find terrible NBA referees, uninformed MLB umpires, and part-time NFL officials, but if you want amateurs whose shoddiness always appears when it really matters, the NHL is unbeatable. Just sent a Knight to the box because a Cap tripped a Cap #FireThemMidGame

Justin Emerson @J15Emerson

Shea Theodore needs a hug

Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski

Shea Theodore has been a special kind of terrible this game, almost like he’s trying to disappoint someone who pulled his name in the GWG pool or something …

Adam Hill @AdamHillLVRJ

NHL PR will bring the players of the game for both teams to the podium for press conferences. Guesses: VGK-Fleury. Wash-Theodore

Arnold M. Knightly @KNIGHTLYGRIND

After cruising through the playoffs, let’s see how the @GoldenKnights respond to getting punched in the mouth

Eric Hilt FOX5 @ericmhilt

At least Las Vegans don’t think Pat Sajak is cool

Scott Van Pelt @notthefakeSVP

Can’t wait to be in the building Monday night.
