yeah, I like what I see. win or lose. they're able to establish play in the ozone, not really used to see them doing that.

and let's not forget on a lot of nights their opponents have a better roster than they have, so the intensity needs to be there if they don't want things to get ugly.

their back-to-back performances in Florida were really impressive.

and it's in Vegas, where temptation and sins abound lol... but I doubt that's an issue, they seem to have a good work ethic and discipline, generally speaking.

They also play against a lot of back-up goalies.

That should not impact effort, but should be a reason for more offense.

I get what you're saying but I don't think the game plan should change all that much depending on who's in net on the other side, they needed to generate more shots and quality chances and they've been doing that lately.

They do need to shoot more, regardless - they have had that problem all season.

But they should be scoring a lot more on the backup goalies.

he's young though and had time to rest, I don't see this as a good moment for a goalie change, to each their own.

Well Vegas has their starter so there is that

All the teams face back ups, the time of goalies playing 65 + games is mostly over
