  1. Yeah I agree, there is many things that need to go right for sure. I like this hockey because its like a chess game. Someone makes a mistake and the other capitalizes, sometimes. Clutch players are able to do that. Thats what makes it fun for me is to watch these guys do their magic, Under Pressure.
  2. Excuses why a team is successful or not. Just wanted to get clarification on your taxes excuse and wondering why the Islanders had to over pay Horvat. Yeah getting way too serious for me too. Don't really care that much about these other teams I just like good hockey.
  3. Six years later they have only a couple of guys making big money, Stone , Eichel and Petriangelo make 8-10 million and everyone else makes a lot less. I don't buy that, they got other teams throw aways. I don't like excuses and this is just another excuse.
  4. I like good hockey and Vegas plays a well rounded game. I thought they were done when their #1 goalie went down with an injury. This guy has come in relief and hasn't missed a beat. I give credit where credit is due.
  5. Which is the nucleus of teams like Vegas and Seattle. Build your team with good defensive players and bring in the stars later. Vegas almost won before they even got their stars(first season). Says alot about what it takes to build a winning team.
  6. Yes it seems inevitable. Oettinger chased out last game and the rest of the team gave up before the game was even over. No Gamers. Hintz showed promise but he has been shut down and held pointless the last 2 games. No Benn either.
  7. Yeah I like a lot of the players on both teams. Some players I wish we had. The work ethic and the attention to detail in regards to team structure impresses me. Neither team backs down to physicality too which I hope we strive to do in the future as well.
  8. Interesting to see the stats for Bob and Hill, considering how well we know Bob has been playing in these playoffs. Bobrovsky GAA - 2.21 .935 SV% Hill GAA - 1.96 .940 SV%
  9. This is the year Boeser shows what he is really made of. Can he get back to more of his scoring prowess? No more excuses, he needs to show what he's got. With his improved defensive ability though, I think he is still a decent top six forward, just maybe not at his current salary rate. If Boeser bombs, and Beau asks for a respectable, fair contract, he will be the guy we keep.
  10. I think Garlands main issue is that he hasn't had any chemistry with our Centers. He maintains good possession in the O zone but loses it once he gets to the point he has no one to pass to. He's a great passer and can get the puck to his line mates but they don't seem to be in the right place. Boeser has improved greatly since Tocchet came around. He is losing his "Country Club" mentality and is doing the defensive work he should have been doing already in his career. I am interested to see what he can do this season under Tocchet and hopefully, 100% healthy. Beauvillier I think is the best suited to stay. He has the speed and work ethic to get in on the forecheck effectively. Although a little streaky, he does a good job producing offensively. It will all boil down to what we can get in trades and what Beau wants on his next contract though. I don't think we need all three, as we need more size and speed in our top six.
  11. I agree, roll over and just take it. Not playoff hockey at all. I don't like it when a playoff game looks eerily like a regular season game, Ewww!!!!Blah!!!!! I keep saying a team needs "Gamers" and I am hoping that we have a few on our team. I see Petey playing and Eichel type game for us in the future.
  12. Like I said,the game was over long ago. No need to worry about getting penalized at this point.
  13. I agree, Dallas should be glove in the face every chance they get , or at least laying some big hits. The game was over long ago.
  14. Thia is what good defensive hockey looks like. They put on an absolute clinic agaist the Oilers in the last 2 games.
  15. I remember the McGoo era, that was bad. It has been bad a for a very long time.
  16. I think they are trying to stop the game from getting out of control. Dallas has pretty much given up.
  17. This exactly, this is where the stars of a team should be making their money. If you can't find a way for your team to win, what good are you? There are plenty of great players in the league but very few can take it up a notch in the playoffs. Vegas just has so many guys who find ways to win. Marchessault is a great example.
