"I thought it was one of our most complete games. How it's supposed to look." -Cassidy
This really was the perfect get-right game for VGK. No question who was the better team all night long and against a team right up there with them at the top of the conference.
VGK absolutely ate John Klingberg alive on the 6-on-5 situation. Every time he got the puck they threw pressure at him and he cracked over and over leading to the empty netter. VGK win the first of the home and home.
This period was heading the wrong direction for a while at the start, but VGK have turned it around the last few minutes and are looking to extend the lead, not just sit on it.

THE hockey GOD
nice, he’s a young kid trying to grow into his frame
when his dad and brother was here, they were both very tall and very skinny.
kid put on a lot of weight, not normal, needs time.
HE also seems to be sucking air a lot on the bench, needs to develop more
endurance.

You have to remember Cody Glass didn’t play much last year and wasn’t in the bubble so his development was minimal. Over the winter he gains 20 pounds loses some speed and needs to get in better shape. He’s only 21 so next year I believe he’ll have it altogether way to early to give up on him. Right now his best quality is his puck possession and passing and he’s good around the net. Over the winter I’m sure he’ll have a trainer to work on his skating, endurance, and tone up his body. Ken you mentioned Connor Garland good choice cheap on the cap a young RFA to go with our young core and if it cost a first and second so be it.
THE hockey GOD
he needs to work on:
endurance
shooting the puck /develop a hard fast shot
winning face offs
stronger on puck
mental aspect
checking opponents
He needs to become really good at several aspects of this abilities to be a top tier center man.
Tim
I agree but it takes experience which he doesn’t have much of yet. He’ll be fine by next year you’ll see a big improvement.
