We just published our findings on how much Las Vegas minimum bets have changed since January 2020. The average across all 63 casinos in our study was +75.71%, with the highest +353.17%. Two decreased. Three stayed the same. The results are here: vegasadvantage.com/table-game-inf…

@Viperz32 @SinBinVegas Because you and all of us know more about coaching an NHL team than Cassidy. The delusion is beyond belief with some of you

@SinBinVegas Who cares, Cassidy had to go, Period. Poor decisions with the lines, poor decision with the goalies. It’ll be impossible to do worse than Cassidy. Hart will be the number 1 goalie now, as it always should have been.

VGK believe swapping Bruce Cassidy for John Tortorella with 8 games left will be the spark the team needs to start winning again. Here's why that makes little to no rational sense... sinbin.vegas/inside-the-abs…

@oenophil15 @SinBinVegas Another fan that thinks coaches have more to do with what happens on the ice than the players. It’s so not about the coach it’s kind of pathetic this is the conclusion some people come to

@SinBinVegas Across 74 games this season, Cassidy showed he did NOT have the answers for how to get this team, loaded with talent, to win more than they lose. Does Tortorella? IDK. But continuing the way we were meets the definition of insanity...

@ThomasSowell Because COVID was 100% factual the way the Dems presented it…I mean they literally we are so freaking stupid!

Harris Faulkner: “So you believe men and women are the same? You don’t believe in science?” Marie Harf: “Of course I believe in science. [The Democrats] are the ones that believes in science when it comes to COVID and vaccines and all those things.”

@DefiantLs So if you’re not a left wing loon, you’re not a journalist. Ok Don

Don Lemon: "I don't consider some influencers to be journalists. If you have a background and you studied it… you're a journalist…" "Do you consider Megyn Kelly a journalist?" Don Lemon: "I never considered her a journalist to begin with!"

@therigszn The Torts poll numbers mean nothing. Anyone who thinks he’s coming in here yelling and screaming is a moron. He’s not stupid! He knows it’s an 8 game sprint. He will be Mr Positivity through the end of the regular season

13 months ago. It’s been brewing for a bit

@SinBinVegas Agree Ken. All the more reason this move makes zero sense

@gocards927 That's exactly what the previous coach was doing.

As of now, it appears assistant coaches John Stevens, Dominique Ducharme, Joel Ward, Sean Burke, Sean Ferrell, and Dave Rogowski will all remain with the team. With Tortorella only signed through the end of this season though, changes should be expected this summer.

@SinBinVegas Anyone playing the he lost the room card…funny how teams like TB didn’t throw Cooper to the woodshed when they hit some rocky weather. They stayed the course and won two Cups. Recycling coaches, especially when you have good coaching isn’t a long term formula for winning

One of the most common refrains about the reasoning behind bringing in John Tortorella is that he gets the most out of teams quickly. History remembers it differently... Tortorella's first 10 games with new team Philadelphia: 5-5-0 (Missed playoffs) Columbus: 2-8-0 (Missed playoffs) Vancouver: 5-4-1 (Missed playoffs) New York: 6-3-1 (Playoffs: First Round Lost in 7) Tampa Bay: 1-9-0 (Missed playoffs) New York: 0-3-1 (Missed playoffs) Combined: 19-32-2

@Bozzyy_ @SinBinVegas I say tough shit. McCrimmon goes in the room and says grow a back bone! This is one of the best coaches in the league. He is OUR coach. He isn’t going anywhere. That puts an end to this nonsense

@SinBinVegas Why are we ignoring the fact that maybe the players just didn’t respect Cassidy’s voice anymore. His voice grew old just like it did in Boston. No doubt he is a great coach but once his voice grows and players lose respect for him it doesn’t matter how great he is

@NHLJackManning They make the playoffs. Probably win a round then lose. Then what? Bottom line, their next coach will be a big downgrade from Cassidy

Now with 15 mins to collect my thoughts: 1) This was the one lever available to pull. 2) Outside of one horrendous season in Vancouver, Torts gets immediate results. 3) Torts coached Hart in his best seasons. 4) I am still stunned, but they'll make playoffs. #VegasBorn

@therandomsec People for Nate 1% Against 99%. CBS response to the fans…F Off

This guy single handedly made the March madness show unwatchable. I took for granted how elite Ernie Johnson is.

@FSVegasHockey Torts won’t be going nuts. He’s too smart. It’s 8 games. He will do his best Knute Rockne. That’s all he can do. The rest is up to the players

Firing a head coach and replacing him with someone with a worse temper isn't a smart move. But it's more than that for the Golden Knights. #VegasBorn vegashockeyknight.com/john-tortorell…

@AdamHillLVRJ McCrimmon is the problem, but he’s a Bill Foley problem. Don’t know that’s a move Bill will make

If Bruce Cassidy would have just signed or traded for a goaltender, he'd still have his job

@AdamHillLVRJ When did Cassidy become the GM?

@garylawless There is nothing patient about an 8 game flyer on an interim coach who will little time to make any meaningful changes. He will preach a lot of what Bruce did. Ok the Knights make the playoffs in a shitty division. So what! Realistically this is a team that isn’t cup worthy

Lawless: Welcome to Vegas, John Tortorella nhl.com/goldenknights/…

@jpolly22 Short term is the key. 8 games

I think this is a brilliant move by the Golden Knights. This is a team that has underachieved across the board this season. Long-term… Torts weighs on people and can become a problem. But short-term… I can’t think of a better spark plug for a team still in a playoff spot with an elite roster. What a gutsy, but clever move by Vegas.

@JFreshHockey @ToddFuhrman Let’s make it simple…the odds the Knights hire a HC who is better than Cassidy? Answer: 1000-1

Since the Olympic break, Vegas rank 3rd in 5v5 xGoal share, shot share, and shot attempt share. They've also allowed the fewest shots against per 60 and the 3rd-fewest xGoals against. They are last in shooting % (6.8%), second-last in save % (86.9%) and last in PDO (93.7)

@GoldTeamBad Bruce can pick from whatever job he wants in the off season. He gets his pick, then Pete will probably get the next best job

This is not Cassidy’s fault. If Edmonton doesn’t win this year, he’ll be head coach of Edmonton next and he’ll get them a cup.

@darthzamoris @SinBinVegas This is way worse than Marchy. Marchy was getting old and was overpaid

@SinBinVegas This decision is right up there with choosing to let Marchessault walk. This franchise is making it harder to root for them with every move they make. Thanks for the cup Bruce, you deserved better.

This is one of the most epic panic moves in the history of the NHL. Either it works, and Bill Foley looks like a genius for continuing to prioritize winning over absolutely everything else or the front office should be the next ones out the door as soon as this summer because they've completely lost the plot.
