Vegas Golden Knights stumble in Montreal as questions swirl around Adin Hill’s role—are deeper issues threatening their playoff push?
Chris Gawlik and Tony Dascp break down the Golden Knights’ 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens, focusing on Pavel Dorofeyev’s standout performance, Bruce Cassidy’s lineup shuffles, and the fierce pace set by Cole Caufield and the Habs. The conversation spotlights Vegas’ ongoing struggle to beat top teams like the Avalanche and Panthers, and examines whether the lack of fan support for Hill signals a brewing goalie controversy with Akira Schmid.
Is this just a tough road trip, or is Vegas losing its edge at home too? Listener comments fuel a spirited debate over Hill’s contract, goaltending analytics, and the leadership moves by Kelly McCrimmon and Sean Burke. Don’t miss this candid analysis of the Vegas Golden Knights’ current playoff outlook and looming challenges in the Pacific Division.

best of the rest.
enough of the adin hill garbage. the team in front of him isnt playing as well as when we won the cup.. not the goalie other than his injuries. i hate 2026 because of the increased garbage noise. play well in front of hill equals stanley cup..
grow up lamos
Hill showed up injured in preseason, clearly an offseason injury ,he would not cut back to pucks behind him in that game and he's still injured , he's here to save his job.
i will end this subject permanently. a elite goalie can mask a garbage team. cary price come to mind.. montreal sucked for years with him. elite goalie we all agree… so sthu about hill. all due respect.
playyy playyyy playyy….. did i mention playyyy like the knights in front of him ala 2023 and what the f are we talking about. if i sound pissed i am. hill is family at this point. goalie is not the scape goat… garbage play in front is. desire. other than injuries no excuses…
enoughhhhhhh.
rack me jim
Early WTF, Tony, why would you be “mad” that VGK went over your 2.5 points prediction? Do you cheer for VGK to be bad or what???
