Rough game - we have the most GP of any teams in the league and we looked tired and banged up tonight and an elite team punished us.
Awful defense pairings that mean you have a weak defender on the ice 100% of the time are also a major problem. Got away with it against crappy Ducks, didn't get away with it today. Hopefully Zadorov fixes things there.
This must be the 6th time in the last 10 games that PDG has been removed from the Miller line mid-game. Time to remove him at the start of a game. Just isn't getting things done and when the Pettersson line is generating nothing at ES having a weak player also kill the offense of the other scoring line isn't ideal.
Boeser is killing it on PPs and empty nets but his 5-on-5 defence still sucks. Was clueless on the 1-0 and 2-0 goals and was blowing the zone while Vegas had the puck on the 2nd goal - this is the second time that has happened in the last couple weeks, the other being the 3rd period goal in Seattle where Myers blew an edge and Boeser had blown the zone early there and his man scored.
Pettersson is just yuck. And when you see how good Kuzmenko suddenly looked with Miller you wonder how much of Kuzmenko's problems in the last month is because his C is playing like absolute shit.
Cole and Mikheyev both look like guys who should get a game or two off.
Aman looked great in his debut but is a guy who needs to maintain that energy level to stay in the NHL and it didn't happen tonight.
I'm not sure if Garland was good or bad tonight. What an odd player.
