Kolesar did knock McDavid to the ice with a good, clean hit. Doesn't make up for no goals all season for Keegan and an otherwise a low team effort game.
Gawlick is day to day for the podcast with an illness.
Slow start and injuries will sink this team.
Cassidy is ready to kick butts… He's fed up. How about some more youngsters from the farm?
"Fancy" are what the Christmas decorations look like in the penalty box. Thats why Lazon knows 🎁🎄
Marner is a "fancy" (so smooth) skater
They need someone with a more consistent one timer. Constantly heeling and missing high.
Fancy means over passing.
Marner is built to be part of a dynamic duo, or trio. When he isn’t skating with a Mathews/Nylander he isn’t going to be as good.
Missing two QBs means trouble. Get well soon.
Hate to say this but I think this team is going to implode. Never ending injuries inconsistent play .
Karlsson usually covers or checks McDavid and without him, McDAvid can get a little more room.
Very hard for Vegas to be winning 70 % of their games with key players out of the line up every game . Take your pick missing parts every game this makes us a average team only . Need a full deck to win and be on top of the Western Division . 😮😮😮
What your saying is that they signed the wrong player. We need goal scoring not another quarterback. Its not his fault he is what he is. It's management fault they did not evaluate what the team needed properly. Victor Olifson has the same amount of goals as Marner. Marner would be great around a bunch of goal scorers but we don't have any 5 on 5 goal scorers.
