Found a snippet that on some other site. It does give a bit of an explanation as to why so many point shots go in.

"The idea with their defensive style is to clog up the shooting and passing lanes to make puck movement around the net difficult. This also heavily relies on players to sacrifice their bodies to block shots. With the defense compacted out in front of their goaltender, eyesight may be an issue. This isn’t truly a concern as the Golden Knight goalie Adin Hill is 6’6″; still, Vegas is phenomenal at shot-blocking. Vegas, as a team, are blocking 19 shots a game. Three of the top five players in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs in blocked shots are Vegas defensemen."
Can't remember the last time seeing a blocked shot by us either this season. Also, those killed us in the playoffs at one point, if I recall correctly.

Boo hoo.

Vassy gave the team a chance last game and won it for them.

Time for everyone else to return the favor.
