While the upset in game one is what most people would expect would be the topic of conversation today, it's not. What everyone is talking about is Jets Forward Morgan Barron, who in the first period last night was pushed face-first into Vegas Netminder Laurent Brossoit's skate blade:

It was reported that Barron received 75 stitches near his eye, and he did return to the game.
After the game, photos started to surface of the injury, and it does not look good:
