Oh boy here we go
Go Knights 🔥
This is crazy! Never expected to hear this right now. But it wouldn't be VGK if they didn't shake things up.
PS for the love of God bench Hill and start Schmid.
9 years in and this team still never false to blindside me with a franchise altering move at the most random time. 8 games left and you do that WOW! Go knights go
I’ll always give McCrimmon credit for building a Cup team, but fair criticism is fair. Hague felt like a keep, and the return hasn’t justified it. Sissons hasn’t done much, and Lauzon’s been a mixed bag.
Then you look at the Andersson deal. Solid player, but it cost Whitecloud, a first, and more—for a pending UFA. If he doesn’t re-sign or move the needle, that’s a huge loss of assets.
If this trend in asset management continues, the conversation around McCrimmon’s job is only going to get louder.
Tell your players to lock the frick in
Jeez, I’ve been asking for Cassidy’s head for a while but this is bizarre. It’ll definitely get a jolt into the team, maybe we’ll forecheck and win a puck battle now
Clown show organization.
It was the players FAULT. NOT CASSIDYS
Gotta keep them betting Vegas Lines active.
Very good, and logical answers, thank you. As fans, we definitely felt that we needed to see a change, as painful as this might be to say.
At the same time, now, with the new coach change, we’re all very much praying that this will bring a new, positive energy and focus to the team. Very excited to watch the game tonight! Go Knights, go!!❤️🛡️❤️
I loved Cassidy and always will respect what he brought to our team and city. But I could see our players not pushing themselves and playing at less than 100% effort for at least the past couple of months. John is like a drill sergeant which is needed at this point.
As much as it hurts when we let someone walk as a FA, Fire a coach, or trade a beloved player….. I trust the process. You don’t make the cup 1st year and win in 6 without knowing what you’re doing. Maybe 5 years from now we’ll say this was a mistake, maybe 5 years from now we’ll have another ring or two. There’s a lot of couch GM’s out there, but McCrimmon and Foley have proven they’ll make the tough decisions to bring cups to Vegas. Go Knights Go!
Getting rid of Whitecloud started the slide.
The only change needed was get rid of Hill!
miss cassidy already
Lol, Team Tank now, Tortorella gonna sink the team leading into playoff time….
Bottom line: VGK needs better goalies!
Hill needs to go!
Poor goalie play got Cassidy fired—that's disgusting!
One thing I never heard is blaming himself for trading established players for some who frankly HAVEN'T PERFORMED! I hope to hell MCCRIMMON is shown the exit very soon. Cassidy is a damn good coach and deserved alot better. This a SCAPEGOAT MOVE! Blame should be on MCCRIMMON!😢
