We need a good goalie also. Comrie is at 3.65 gaa And Anderson is well on his way to being over 3 gaa. Tuff to win consistently when you have to score 4+ goals every game. Would be nice if our goalie would steal a game now and then as well.
Well maybe if we could play defense our gaa might come down. Nice open aggressive play? Ok but forwards need to think defense at least some of the time. Bottom line is our goaltending is not great but our defense may be worst.

Pat LaFontaine put a curse on them.
We don't deserve it, but we have an owner who knows nothing about hockey constantly hiring inexperienced people and flipping the plan over and trying again and never handing the keys over to an experienced hockey guy(s) who knows what he's doing and isn't learning on the job making mistakes.
The best players on this roster were acquired by JBot. KA flipped the assets Murray acquired for picks and prospects (Tuch excepted) that may or may not pan out. If they do, it'll be closer to being fixed, if they don't, it's just gone full circle and gotten us nowhere.
If Pegula had handed this team over to somebody like Rick Dudley years ago we wouldn't be in this mess.
Agree. I'm still hopeful the owners stumbled on a good guy in Adams. He seems to have a plan and seems also to be a stable type to carry it out. Do wish he'd have done more about goalkeeper.

Also, why did Bergeron have to be a Bruin? I'd love to root for him but I can't.
And it's Hockey Fights Cancer Day! It's a nice sentiment.
Bergeron would look so nice in a Sabres uniform.

So the Devils have won 8 in a row, and Lindy has them at 11-3.
Lindy is a very good coach.

Hopefully, but I don't think a totaly full house. The "Lets boo Eichel game" to me was a one time thing. As each game goes by against Vegas, the booing and wanting to be there to boo might still be there a bit, but it will drop off as each game against them goes by.
Seriously, who pays to go boo a player?

I really don't care to have OBJ. With all his talent I just think he's not one to share the spotlight and could be bad match with Diggs and locker room.

Why can't we keep defensemen healthy. This is reaching the point of deciduous.

My prediction. He'll be traded before current deal expires.

Dan lacks basic integrity. He's starting to make stuff up
He wants to paint a picture and misses the subject.

Man Dunleavy is so late on his calls! He's more a color guy than a play by play.
-
Wonder how many goals of the past before challenges were off sides. Records may be with big asterisks.
-
For whatever reason I've never looked at VO as an on going core piece. Great shot when open but that's ok for power plays but otherwise he's just ok. Not top six.

Sweet, granato’s intention to cycle players in has been established
why Asplund
Agree. How about VO! Seems he gets a pass by fans and the organization. Sorry but he's still not convinced me that he's the guy most think he is.

The problem with that statement for Eichel is, there are too many steps between Eichel and Mcdavid.
Many wanted to (and some still do) beleive there was McDavid then a step down to Eichel. The reality is there is McDavid, then Matthews, Draisatil, Ovi, Kaprizov, Kreider, Gaudreau, Huberdeau, Stamkos, Tkachuk, Panarin, McKinnon, Crosby, Barkov, Connor, a few others, and THEN Eichel.
Eichel is taking up over 12% of his teams cap space on a team that is stretched in that a regard. His team gave up 3+ first rounders for him (Tuch, Krebs, and last years 1st). He is tied for 111th in the league in points per game since you have been with Vegas. Since he started his career, he is 25th in the league in points per game, and 47th overall in points (partly because he has had so many games missed to injury). My point is you simply cannot have the lack of effort you displayed on that play the other day, or he has displayed many other times over his career and even since he has been with vegas (many of those plays shown here and/or on Twitter).
If you are getting paid that much, and your team gave up so many assets for you, you have to be better in the D-zone, regardless of how long your shift was (if his shift was something absurd like 1.5 minutes, then he needed to get off the ice and let someone else on)
Was it scouting or media build up or maybe both that appear to have had Jack way above what it appears he is. For sure not "generational" and not to be mentioned in the same conversation with McDavid. I think Jack is a very good player but as you mentioned if the draft were held again knowing what we know now he'd be considerably lower in the draft order. This isn't rare in drafts but the super hype for Jack seems to be quite far off at least at this point in time.

Yes, but there are about 125 forwards this year (nearly 1/3 of the league) whos coaching staff is giving more ice time to than Eichel is getting.
Yes, but Eichel is not at the level of McDavid.

I don't think it has a negative to it. It's hockey and the teams are still the teams. Also for a young team I think there is something to the bonding thing.

Keeping Tuch on line 2 in an effort to balance out a top 6 doesn’t appear to be working. Thompson I think needs Tuch, and Mittelstadt leaves a lot to be desired as a 2C looking to centre a 2nd scoring line in compliment to line 1. We just don’t have the high end talent right now to balance the lines I don’t think, at least for now I’d return to a loaded up top line and hope the rest can capitalize under the shelter of a working first unit
Agree. But it's early with only two games in. Frankly Mitts is a big concern for me.
-
Oh,oh the darts coming out. DG two games in it's starting.
-
To sum it up. It's two games. I might say two entertaining games. We stood up for each other on the ice. I'm looking at a very young team making mistakes but not folding. The only player I'm very doubtful of is Mitts.

Advanced Stats Say Goaltending the Issue, Not Defense

Stats. Yeah, the Bills defense always has good stats. Except when it counts. Sometimes the eye test is also valuable. I think the defense is bad as well as goalkeeper.
