Sens coach says Vegas is "the hardest working team"
Ottawa head coach Guy Boucher yesterday when asked for a scouting report on the team from Vegas:
"It's very simple. They are a meat and potatoes team, that is absolutely relentless. That's it, that's how they get their success... This is probably the hardest working team in the league. Period. I mean there are some really hard working teams in the league, but this one, from watching quite a few games actually, is very impressive in that respect. And that's how they get their success. A lot of people say 'they've got all the guys that teams let go'. Yeah, but they've got a lot of guys with experience. And what I find is the NHL is about depth. You've got high end talent. If you've got high end talent without the depth, you can't sustain what you're doing. And maybe they don't have lots of high end talent, they've got some, but what they've got that a lot of teams don't have is four-lines and three pairs of D that are more than able. They've got guys that are not only good NHLers, but guys that contribute. They're all hard working guys, and I think you can see they're on a mission. They started the year being told they weren't good enough. Their old teams didn't protect them and they ended up in Vegas. I'd be like them, too. And that's what they look like. They're on the ice and they're hungry. They want to prove something. They're an extremely, extremely hard team to beat, as a lot of teams have noticed. That's what we're expecting, so we're getting ready for a major battle. It's gonna be relentless against relentless, because that's what I think our team is too. So it's gonna be a great game to watch."

- Today's game is an early afternoon affair in Ottawa (11am Vegas) and is an official SELL OUT.
