My cap runneth over
Oh, is Eakin back? I thought both were out for the first few games.
You're right they won't be back soon

Nobody ever listens to me. "I don't get no respect." (Thanks, Rodney.)Obviously, @Nevada Jones they didn't listen enough.
Only saw that he'd be in Europe practicing for the next month.Anyone know how Nate wound up in Vienna? Gotta be a VGK connection with someone there, right?

Take a look at who's with the team. (Players, coaches, GM/management, trainers/equipment staff)
Could be Caps or college connection as well.
I thought Haula looked better with 2 than Tuch did.....I felt like it was Haula all the way.Yeah, it seems Haula will get his shot to show he should be on the 2nd line to start and Lindberg will probably center the 3rd?
I thought they should try Carr with Nosek and Lindberg on the 3rd and Carpenter, Bellemare and Reaves on the 4th with Carrier as the extra forward.

I'm not sure if Patches-Stastny-XXX is as good as previously expected... will see.
If Tuch isn't in the lineup, it has to be Nosek-Lindberg-Carpenter. I could even see Nosek scoring 20+ goals in 3rd line with such linemates (Lindberg is a good supporting player, and will bounce back, carpenter is also a good supporting player who can score if needed)
The team has so much offense that it's starting to look very nice. I like speed and scoring.
Not just the scoring. Judging strictly by preseason, they haven't lost their identity as relentless on the puck in all three zones. If Flower can stay healthy, VGK could end up with the lowest GAA in the league.
Otherwise known as the criteria for winning the Jennings trophy.
I sincerely think he should be frontrunner for Vezina this season if he stays healthy. In his two preseason starts, he looked like he never took the summer off, but came in fresh off the playoff run. Two games, I know. I honestly believe that Prior has coached him up and last year wasn't an outlier for Fleury.
Now if we just had a reliable backup to give him some rest without forfeiting games.....
Gotta think Gibson would be the frontrunner with the Vezina if he, himself, stays healthy.
He had a strong case to win it last year and didn't even get named finalist in a baffling decision and he already looks a class above in his first game.
We'll see. Both healthy, I would stand Fleury against Gibson.
He could definitely win it but I also think, even though Anaheim has that really good defense core, that as a team they are more disheveled than Vegas and will give Gibson more opportunities to look amazing than a solid, well coached Vegas would give to Fleury.
IR. LBI. Week to week.
Thanks. Drafted him in fantasy last night and he wasn't on IR. Bummed for him. I liked watching him in the playoffs last year. Hope he gets well soon.
