Umm you mean they were caught at the end of a shift after sutter turned it over.

Let's just say he knifed through them without being 100% healthy.

 

[Pia8988]

What a PP by the Sharks.

 

[HldMyBeer]

whay to go Vegas crosscheck a guy allready on the ice and looking hurt

 

[koyvoo]

Oof that giveaway by Burns

 

[HanSolo]

Holy f***. San Jose just got worked.

 

[HldMyBeer]

Yea they not win tonight

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

pretty bad play by Burns. I feel he's careless with the puck a lot

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

"johnny on the spot" Reilly Smith with the shortie...yikes...
4-1 armored men over the mean fish...

VGK and SJ has quickly become the best rivalry in hockey.

Rivalry is being generous.

Well I am not exactly sure what they were suppose to do. Suter passed the pick with nobody on him directly to the best player on the ice in Draisaitl as Tanev and Hughes were about to change.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Uh oh, 3 goal lead

I mean QUICKLY. I used to go crazy about how little people respect the Blues Blackhawks rivalry but I recently ran into a group of Hawks fans that were like “have you seen these Vegas-SJ games? What a bunch of barbarians”. Couldn’t agree more.

After last year? Not really.

I know there's a fair amount of luck involved, but it's amazing to see that the expansion draft line of Marchessault-Karlsson-Smith has been so successful since about day 1. They have such an impressive combination of skill and chemistry.

 

[KCC]

McDavid really does not look 100% and he still goes out and scores a goal like that. Beautiful

Hughes and Tanev just stood there tho lol

Only played 2 preseason games and looks like he’s still trying to gain his footing. He’s fine and will get back into the swing soon enough. Keep in mind as well he’s not with drai either. Chemistry is a huge thing.

Reilly Smith is one of the most underrated players in the NHL. Just feels like he is good on a nightly basis

 

[BelovedIsles]

Merrill surpassed him last year in the second half. Before that Merrill was an abject disaster, I'll admit but he became a steady presence in the defensive zone. A kind of presence that had faded out of Miller's game in Vegas' sophomore year. I seriously disagree with your assessment. Like, I hope he does better with Buffalo but his constant mistakes at both ends was really hurting the team after a while. There's a reason Vegas moved him. Obviously cap was a consideration but the team had to decide who was expendable, and Vegas decided he was.

I'll put it this way: 164+ games watching him with Vegas, I don't miss him now that he's gone and was vocal that he should be one of our cap casualties. You can ask anyone on the Vegas board.

I liked Miller, again, I think he was overused. Victim of the cap. Come playoffs, think you guys need one more defender.

They are legit good players...all three of them.

They were just stuck behind other players on each of their former teams in the depth charts.
Speaks to the amount of talent available in the NHL these days that even "cast offs" will thrive when given top minutes and put into situations to be successful.

Granted, the Vegas draft, just like the Seattle one will be, was MUCH more friendly to them than past expansion teams, but still, those three guys are just good players, period.
And Vegas has several others too that many people underrate.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Holy %$#@.....
Martin Jones gonna have Reilly Smith nightmares tonight...

 

[HanSolo]

Smith has activated superstar mode.

 

[HanSolo]

GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT!

I agree March and Smith were very good players before joining Vegas (although Smith was a bit inconsistent year to year), but Karlsson, while he definitely had potential, had shown very little before the expansion draft. He's become a damn wizard since joining Vegas. Amazing what they've done so far.

I'm not sure about that. Hague is already showing proficiency at using his big body and long reach to suffocate attacking forwards. With NHL level development, I think we'll be fine. People are sleeping on him. I mean, if the right trade his there, I'd love to add someone better than Holden, but Vegas' defensive strength has always come from defense by committee. Apart from the game 7 five minute meltdown, it's served them pretty well.

 

[KCC]

Vegas’ transition game is ridiculous. San Jose cant keep up.

 

[HldMyBeer]

such bs by the nbc crew, lol they did not see each other, he crooschecked him in the face!!!
