Thompson has played in 14 games.
I used to think Lehner was so solid and made fewer big mistakes than Fleury but lately he has been painful to watch.
Apparently there's a reason

Just for the record, if we beat them in regulation and each team wins it's last 3, and each has 97 points, we have 33 regulation wins to their 29, though ROW currently is 39-38 Dallas.Yeah we do need to win the Stars game in regulation because I doubt they drop any points to SEA/AZ/ANA.
ROW only matters if RW is tied. Dallas cannot tie us in points and RW so ROW will not come into play.Just for the record, if we beat them in regulation and each team wins it's last 3, and each has 97 points, we have 33 regulation wins to their 29, though ROW currently is 39-38 Dallas.
I can already see how this ends. We win the first two and then lose to Chicago in a game we go 0 for 8 on the PP and miss out by a point to Dallas. And yet Spott will still have a job.I still put our chances under fifty percent due to needing the win and the slight disadvantage in schedules. We have St. Louis in place of Arizona and only one home game while all theirs are home.
We probably have to beat the Stars in regulation in a road game and pick up all points against our other opponents.
But either Vegas or Dallas is probably fighting to lose 4-1 to the Avalanche in an extra week and a half of games.
They may not have anything to play for and we would be desperate if we needed the win.I’m not liking our chances to make the ploffs. We have to win out and I don’t see us beating St. Louis.

No wonder I didn’t trust our team.Dallas has been struggling too. They might win the easy games on their schedule but I could see them dropping a game or two if they start panicking. Upsets happen a lot in this league.
My bigger concern is I don’t trust our team and we could still lose to them which would kill our chances.
If only we had an owner that paid tribute to these facts instead of fixating on a Cup you can't assure yourself of winning by buying full priced free agentsRegardless of their playoff fate, the Knights are still assured of finishing with their 5th straight winning season in terms of number of games won to start their existence. They have 42 wins, and the most possible losses they can have, regulation and OT combined, is 40. This will mean that the Knights remain the only NHL franchise never to have lost more games than they won in a season.
As I'm not a capologist, does Thompson not burn a year off his ELC if he plays less than 10 game,s and if so, is that one reason they're not playing him? Not sure how many games he's dressed for this season.
VGK is going to have roughly the same record this season as it did in its second season, when it got them 3rd place in the division.....unfortunately, barring something unforeseen, it won't be enough for the playoffs this year. But I don't remember the same gnashing of teeth after that season than I hear now. And even though there is no doubt that the 5 minute major screwed Vegas in Game 7 against SJS, the fact that the series went to 7 after VGK was up 3-1 makes you wonder if that second season team was really that good.Regardless of their playoff fate, the Knights are still assured of finishing with their 5th straight winning season in terms of number of games won to start their existence.

The team lost a bunch of games at the end of that season and was basically coasting and resting Fleury as Subban was starting every game. A playoff position was pretty much locked up. I think if they needed to push it they would have won more games.VGK is going to have roughly the same record this season as it did in its second season, when it got them 3rd place in the division.....unfortunately, barring something unforeseen, it won't be enough for the playoffs this year.
