Sheng Peng: Behind VGK's No-Name Defense's Success Ryan McGill is the architect of a no-name, top-10 defense -- Nate Schmidt, Shea Theodore, Brayden McNabb, Luca Sbisa, and Gerard Gallant talk about what makes McGill special

Well all know that NHL Playoffs and the NHL Regular Season are night/day; completely different animals in not only how they're played, but in how the players mentally and physically prepare.

Under normal(not sure what that is anymore) circumstances a knock against an expansion team would be lack of playoff experience. Something Vegas has is not only some seriously battle tested playoff vets, but ones who've gone deep in the playoffs.

Fleury, Neal, McNabb, Schmidt and even some guys like Karlsson, Marchessault, Haula and Eakin have a sprinkling of playoff experience.

This team will surely not be inept in their approach to the playoffs. Personally, I think the Boston/Leafs and Jets/Wild series will be the most entertaining ones of the first round, but the Knights/Kings could very well wind up being right there.

I will be going to Game 2!

The lost of Suter makes this, on paper, an easy Jets win...

I think SJ/Ana will be more entertaining !
