Watching the Jets reminds me of the Caps of old. Attack attack, but no goals when they need it most.
Really? Expect a few bursts of energy here and there they look mostly lame.

I can't be the only one. I think it is complete utter bull**** that Vegas can just "buy" a team like that?
Yeah, it takes real skill to take other teams decent to good players and build a team that way.
Meanwhile, every other team had to do it the old fashion way and build through the draft all those years.
This is like playing video games against someone who just used their credit card to get all the upgrades and just own you
Yes, I get you still have to play the game and win but play like everyone else had to play
Vegas in the scf
I'm afraid that Gary wants his final to start asap and the refs will be on bolts side tomorrow.
Oh, and we deserve blame as well. We valued Andre Burakovsky and a third round pick (MJ) over Nate Schmitt, who is a legitimate top pairing defenseman. How this team had that right under their nose and did not recognize it is beyond me.Complaining about Vegas winning is childish. The league didn’t tell Florida to give up 2/3 of a top line and fire a good coach, or tell MAF to become good again, or tell other teams to protect vets over good youthful alternatives. They are on a great run with a solid team identity getting some good puck luck at the right time.
The draft rules weren’t overly generous. Many of the other 30 teams just made inexcusable mistakes.

This is nonsense. The 1974 Caps called. They'd like a do-over with Vegas rules.Complaining about Vegas winning is childish.

Greg Joly can introduce the pick and Macco-shark will be pleased!
I don’t think it would have been a good idea to stick Vegas with a historically bad team to start like they did with the Capitals, if you’re saying that’s what the NHL should have done.
I’m looking at preseason prognostications and nobody thought Vegas was going to be a contender. Borderline playoff team at best. So if they truly were gifted an excellent roster by the NHL why weren’t more people picking them to go far based on superior talent? They are clearly the most well-coached team in the league and they aren’t burdened by slow vets, neither of which has to do with expansion draft rules.
People should keep in mind that any analysis of Vegas has to account for why the conventional wisdom last summer was that the roster sucked and the draft had been a disappointment for the team.
