Vegas Golden Knights UNLEASH new identity under John Tortorella—SWAGGER RETURNS! | VGK Podcast



Vegas Golden Knights roar back to contention as Jack Eichel’s three-assist night and Carter Hart’s rise as starting goalie spark a new wave of swagger. Is John Tortorella’s aggressive system the key to a rejuvenated playoff push?

Tony Dasco and Chris Gawlik break down VGK’s 5-1 rout of the Edmonton Oilers, spotlighting depth scoring from Mark Stone, Brett Howden, Jeremy Lauzon, and Colton Sissons. Topics include the transformation under Tortorella, locker room chemistry issues—highlighted by Aiden Hill’s chilly interactions—and concerns about Tomas Hertl’s scoring drought. The show debates Carter Hart’s composure in net, Rasmus Andersson’s contract future, and the challenges of navigating salary cap constraints. Can the Golden Knights maintain momentum in the Pacific Division and solidify their playoff status as goaltending controversies swirl?

  1. Hart is as good if not better than Hill, write him the rest of the season good batter otherwise so we can find a better option and send a hill anywhere to get that terrible contract off the books

  2. It was quite obvious in Carter Hart's play in goal he was not ready to return to hockey after a 25 month absent . He was not physically and mentally prepared to play then . Thus bringing on a early injury in November and missing many games . Nice to see Andersson finding his game the last 5 games .

  3. The salary retention McCrimmon is able to get raises the price of what goes the other way.

  4. Hart facing 31 shots on goal and only allowing 1 goal in the net is an extreme rarity for the VGK. Hope Hart continues playing this way. Andersson looks like a different player for almost 3 weeks now as he involves himself in offense much like earlier days of Theodore. Starting to see why the VGK got him from Calgary. The shot by Eichel was not a planned shot. Eichel figured he had a better chance to score😂

  5. I don’t think Torts brought a new identity as much as he woke up the identity they always had. Go VGK🤜
