Not true. Vegas has played better. They have way more energy.
The Jets top players looked like they ran out of gas today
I didn't get to see the game today. But regarding the other four, I'd definitely say that Vegas often looked better at the start of games (and were consistently able to capitalize on that). But whether they had more energy than Winnipeg or not, it didn't stop them from being on their heels and unable to even clear their zone with possession for massive stretches of every game.
But, they definitely did a good job of limiting odd-man rushes. I said this when we played them in the regular season, but they are very similar in style to the Flames of 2014-15. But Fleury is the reason they are doing so much better than our lame second-round exit. I really think that given the personalities in that room, they can sustain this for more seasons. With the Flames, they spent that 2015 off-season growing an ego and thinking they could relax and not work as hard. I don't think that'll happen with Vegas this off-season, but who knows. It's a style of game that really requires maximum effort or else you end up looking like the 2015-16 Flames.
