Amazing story these Knights, eh?

Crazy thing is, McPhee can go any number of ways moving forward...... continue to build on what he has...trade away productive current players for super high ceiling prospects....or do a hybrid of those two plans.
Plus he has a ton of draft picks in the 2018 draft that he can either use or use as trade chips.

Just a good job all around by Vegas ownership/management/coaching and kudos to the players themselves for taking opportunities given to them and running with it.

Oh yea....and they are beating up on the Leafs too... 3-0 now. Bonus!

Spread the scoring (and the love around):

Another Power Play.... Come on guys lets make it count.

 

[Bart9349]

Power play goal coming?

 

[hangman005]

Marchy wants one

 

[hangman005]

Most excellent 1st period of hockey... would have like to have cashed in on the PP but ah well I'll take a 3-0 lead. Hopefully we keep it up in the 2nd and 3rd

Vegas is a fine example of a team that does not have any super star but they play hard and within structure and work hard for every single possession. This team is setting example for every team "how to play without super stars" - kudos to the coaching staff

I am a big fan of this team

I want to be pissed at 3-0 but I can't help to love watching Vegas and the great buzz from the crowd during home games. Great team that plays as a unit. Hoping they blow the lead today but other then that Go Vegas

 

[Boris Zubov]

This team is unreal. Continue to amaze me!

Slow game thread. Everyone who has a life & doesn't have to work on NYE is at the game.

Nice interview of Leipsic on Leafs TV. (Leipsic played six games with Leafs last year.)

Too Many Men.... Big PK Coming.

Among the Canadian teams, the Leafs are my favorite. Their fans are passionate and knowledgeable without being obnoxious. Unfortunately, the Leafs have had a rough run in recent decades. As a Pens fan, I must also thank the Leafs for the Kessel trade.

 

[Bart9349]

Was that Subbie without a stick?

 

[Elvis P]

Team hat trick already!

 

[hangman005]

Killed but I think we want a shorty.

Marleau with his goal has one against 30 teams in the league.

(Still has one more chance this season to score against Sharks)

 

[hangman005]

WILD BILL AGAIN!!!!!!!

 

[hangman005]

Big PK... Lets score lol

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Willie Karlsson going OFF!

It has been said Vegas has no superstar players and they win by playing in structure and as a unit.
This is true...but I also think the team has some players that were vastly under utilized by their former teams (or simply lost in the depth charts), and are now given the opportunity to show they are top six or top pair D material.

Erik Haula, Jonathan Marchessault, and of course, Willie Karlsson are very good examples of this.

 

[hangman005]

Killed!!!!!

 

[hangman005]

Nice save by Sub..... and Power Play incoming..... we have to score on one eventually right?

 

[Bart9349]

I mean this respectfully: Leafs are at least a solid offensive team, but they seem out of rhythm today. Could it be the bright lights? Maybe they have enjoyed the benefits of "Question 2" a little too much.

Then, again, it could just be the fatigue factor after a five game road trip.

 

[hangman005]

We can not buy a powerplay goal.
