What are the chances someone in this picture asked a question? (Photo Credit: SinBin.vegas Photographer Brandon Andreasen)
We haven't done a Q&A in a long time. So, let's do one right now. Anything you want to ask about the Golden Knights or anything else, fire away and I'll quote tweet them all with answers. Go…

Got to be the Radulov story. I can't remember which podcast it was in that we told the whole thing, and it was actually Jason who experienced it, but let's just say, not only did he refuse to answer questions but he made sure everyone knew who was the big man on campus. https://t.co/WXFs3bqDP8

I do not. I belive Turk will stick with Pacioretty-Stastny-Haula and he'll slot Tuch in on the 3rd. Though that could change if the 2nd line struggles between now and Tuch coming back. https://t.co/rID6XocQU0

Can't say it's a bad bet. I still think they get in the playoffs without any issue, so that would make them 16:1. Don't think they'll be the worst team heading in either. Might have waited until this road trip is over though, could see it going up a bit more if they drop 2 more. https://t.co/iMy2OtuxAX

Marchessault-Karlsson-Smith
Pacioretty-Stastny-Haula
Nosek-Eakin-Tuch
Carpenter-Bellemare-Carrier/Reaves (pick whichever one is not hurt and playing best)This being said, having a fully healthy team is fairly rare so I doubt we see this lineup too often. https://t.co/56X9v3h7ho
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I wouldn't. I expect a bounce back effort for VGK. Vegas should be dogs but I think the game is going to be close to a toss up. I'm guessing 3-3 heading into OT, game-winner by Karlsson in OT. https://t.co/xlOwRcaByU
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Not really. The 91.9 PDO is insane. That'll turn around relatively soon, if not as soon as tomorrow. If they can get 3 points in the next 3 games they are in great shape, 4 or more would be amazing. If they don't get another 2 points on this trip, then I'll be a bit worried. https://t.co/IKthDlWZtO
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I'm assuming this is a question on the season…
Marchessault, Pacioretty, Karlsson (in that order) https://t.co/XNjnHNZ2WR
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
It actually ended up being 11th in the league last year, which isn't that bad. I think missing Tuch and Schmidt has hurt PP more than it has anything else. They'll get it going on PP. Don't think they'll be Top 10, but it won't be 0 for. Plus PK has been excellent. https://t.co/wxkVy3RKDk
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
They've been very hit or miss, which I think was to be expected early. In Minnesota they were incredible, could have scored 3 or 4 goals if not for some bad hops, whiffs, and posts. I think it's going to take some time, but whoever the right winger is, that line will be good. https://t.co/fqgKj1ofvt
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Fleury hasn't been awesome, but he certainly isn't the problem by any stretch. There have been lapses all over the place, especially from forwards yesterday. Gallant usually gets that crap cleaned up quickly. We'll see in the next two days. https://t.co/sBdBZYjBRf
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
It wouldn't shock me if it's kind of a 1A/1B situation with those two lines, but I don't see Karlsson, Marchessault, and Smith being broken up any time soon. https://t.co/sB4nXxGlhx
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I have no advice. I literally just sit my phone against by computer and film my face. There's really nothing good about any of my Periscopes, but people seem to watch them, so we'll keep em going. Maybe one after the game tomorrow from Eclipse. https://t.co/Y1fqw1sVMU
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Wouldn't shock me if he's out of there tomorrow. Think it might be time to give Bischoff or Hunt a shot. I actually wouldn't mind seeing them swap Holden and Engelland too. Haven't loved the 5/27 combo at even-strength to this point, wonder if switching it up might help both. https://t.co/WzdNHX2hqh
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I agreed with not "raising" the banner. That is for Cups, not Western Conference and Pacific titles. That being said, I was underwhelmed by the opening. I expect something ridiculous for the next home game. There's no way the Midieval Times stuff is deal, Foley wouldn't allow it. https://t.co/2d9CCkHmkZ

Everyone is going to hate me, but… I don't eat burgers. That being said, I go out to eat with a lot of people that do and Fukuburger and Bachi Burger appear to be two of the best. https://t.co/fEcAsj0Hbe
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I think we all expect him to be some sort of superhero. He had a huge impact on the Haula goal, he's been in and around a lot of the Marchessault goals, and he's made a ton of great passes to create scoring chances. It'll come, don't worry. https://t.co/AGJh6AT9uf
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
More happy because he's actually a fairly useful player. Missing a Top-6 guy is never a good thing. That team is still good though and playing well. Weird schedule for them might help VGK. They haven't played since Thursday. https://t.co/gFFgXhPc09
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I do not. Without an extension I don't think he was worth 4 or 5 pieces. VGK might still end up with him for 7 years and have not given up those pieces. I'm still not convinced he re-signs in SJ. https://t.co/qys6FZ483V
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Excellent question. Think it got a little out of hand a year ago so they are kind of slow rolling it this year, but in due time I think they'll find a way to bring it back. https://t.co/Se6fVJbHDe
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I've been advocating for Nosek to the 2nd line since the moment the Stastny deal happened. To me, this team is best when they have 3 scoring lines. Right now they only have 2. I actually wouldn't mind Eakin being the center with Haula and Tuch either. https://t.co/gLRxaPrxEX
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Yes. Tomorrow? https://t.co/coaKXTnng6
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Missing a pair of key pieces in Tuch and Schmidt. They've also had a few of them that have looked really good and just haven't cashed in. I'm not worried at all. In fact, cause everyone loves my predictions, I'll guess they get two PP goals tomorrow. https://t.co/7zEHFhxDBd
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Someone is going to have to go when Tuch gets back, and yes I think Lindberg is the guy. https://t.co/H7Iva6yktm

The story of last year, from being the best Expansion team to healing the city. I don't think they are as likeable as you think though. In our bubble, sure, but I do think a lot of fans of other teams are already sick of VGK. https://t.co/pKoW7WqQhW
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Missed practice today. They aren't sure if he's going to play this weekend, but they don't think it's too serious. Think he dodged a bullet on that one. https://t.co/cbOASi2yyM
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I think it's more to do with his erraticness than the ELC. If he can prove himself consistently in the AHL, he'll be in Vegas and will be burning up the 9 games before you know it. Hopefully guys stop cheap shotting him though. https://t.co/XAzcngaAqw
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Goals 7
Assists 17 https://t.co/rcZFhklpzG— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
10-15 games would be good. I think if they haven't started to look much better by the end of the homestand we can definitely start to get a bit nervous. https://t.co/HN09K18Xk6
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I don't think so. I think he's certainly being missed a bit, but the defense hasn't been as bad as everyone's making it out to be. 3/6 have been very good. The first game was rough for 15, 2nd game great for everyone, and 3rd game was more on forwards than D in my opinion. https://t.co/TRoHUosiGj

Winnipeg. It's so ridiculously loud there and they barely play music or anything. It's also super small which is kind of a cool contrast compared to TMA. https://t.co/9YvTmvMsrD

We've got em for sale. $20, DM me if you want one. https://t.co/UiFUkwitjX
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I wouldn't do it right now. Not until I get the benefit of Tuch and Haula playing together on the 3rd. https://t.co/wmmlDH7gHd
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
90%. It's a lot of work coming up with all of them and switching back and forth between accounts. I haven't screwed it up yet have I? https://t.co/RRYH7XPuE0

Not everyone can respond to everyone like we do. ð
Here's a bunch other emojis too because we are talking about VGK's account.

That's a tough one. I think the biggest surprise has to be the breakdowns in their own end. Allowing goals is one thing, but allowing easy ones like they have is another. Can't remember too many games like this and we've seen 2 of them already. https://t.co/qx3kZWasVz
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I'll never say an individual guy has that massive of an impact (except goalies) but you can definitely see the impact it's having on the 3rd line. That being said, if they win tomorrow, all is well, so it's not like they are in some crazy hole. https://t.co/Jca5cLSGNg
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
The only thing we've ever heard on that is Bettman saying he envisions it being soon. I'd say within the next 5 we'll have one. Wouldn't shock me if the Draft ends up here (and for good) soon too. No reason to make everyone travel for the awards and the Draft. https://t.co/Fcvmji68Y0
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Haven't seen exact numbers on this, but yeah they definitely aren't great at it for some reason. https://t.co/ZvYL9jdkXg
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
It's not in the plans at the moment, but I'd love to get up there eventually. https://t.co/eQkf9aXgLC
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Not really. I think things will get better in their own end long before the 20 games are up though. https://t.co/BydA9B084Q
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Hopefully we get Game 1 Subban and not Preseason Subban. I think he'll be fine, and with Murray seemingly out, I think VGK has the better goalie in that game no matter what. https://t.co/RJJVa2SFGI
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Of all of those I'll say Tuch, but I don't think I'd say any of their absence is the reason for the 1-2 start. 3rd line need to do more and I think Tuch would help that. Hopefully Eakin sures it up defensively when he goes back in tomorrow. https://t.co/32lT05hj4u
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Not quite, but still fairly well loved. Everybody loves a winner. https://t.co/uIIsLDCPMt
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Nah. I think it's just a back-to-back and he doesn't like using Fleury in those when not neccesary. If the schedule was reversed and they played PIT first, Fleury would be in there. https://t.co/6lcFLd9JyN
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Yikes. Real tough one because no one even came close to standing out in camp. I'd say Carr but it's going to take a lot to get one of them up here. https://t.co/mpKD4tsrEl
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Being exempt in the next Expansion Draft is huge for VGK. Not only do they not lose a player, but they benefit from the league thinning out, and they will be able to act as a workaround for teams with issues. https://t.co/wpbGZARZm1
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
I still think we are a few years out on this. They really want to establish the main jerseys before they start throwing more into the mix. Year 4 maybe. https://t.co/ltimGYbSEg
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
Haula as the center on the 2nd with Nosek on his right (until Tuch comes back). Eakin center on the 3rd with Carpenter and Lindberg. https://t.co/OamsrJrIvV

Gonna take a few injuries for it to happen any time soon. If he keeps playing well though, I could see him getting a call mid-way through the year. https://t.co/hIbccJjoXR
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
No flash at all in camp. To keep a 19 year old on the roster he has to be much better than most of the guys on it, he wasn't, so back he goes to continue developing. https://t.co/qG3rrDKhPC

Haven't seen numbers in either. I'd expect VGK to be dogs in both. My guesses…
VGK (+145) at WSH
VGK (+120) at PIT https://t.co/jHFXMMfCmv— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018
