@SinBinVegas @Hova5019 @dotvegasinc It’s not Hill right now. He’s not great but the number of odd man rushes and high danger chances he’s facing is ridiculous. The backend is so mistake and turnover prone it’s scary. Theodore and Hanifin have been terrible. Korczak is worse. Maybe it’ll improve the last 10 games

@Hova5019 @dotvegasinc They scored 1 goal. Enough about the goalie.

3 takeaways from the game, presented by @dotvegasinc 1) To win hockey games, you must score goals. VGK are not doing it even close to enough over the past month. 2) Another snowball situation in the middle frame. Simple mistakes lead to extremely dangerous chances and this isn’t the goalie to bail them all out. 3) 1st power play unit has completely lost its mojo. For more than half the season they had all the answers, now it looks like they don’t have any. Get a web address that is as unique as you are!

@SinBinVegas This team stinks. Yes the scoring has dried up but blueline is awful in every way. And the supposed leadership of this team stinks. Starts with Eichel and Stone.

Feels like most VGK players are hoping for someone else to make the play that sets up the goal. No one is being progressive enough to go get it themselves. (Marner did it once, no penalty called. Dorofeyev has done a bit. Andersson was much more proactive tonight.)

@SinBinVegas Eichel, Stone and Theodore not showing up have been a bigger issue. It’s shocking how bad Stone has been tonight. Theodore can’t defend and Eichel has been whatever it is he’s doing

Penalties have been a real issue for VGK since the Olympic break. Before Olympics: 2.80 per 60 Since Olympics: 3.99 per 60 *Not counting the 4 minors and fighting major tonight*

@SinBinVegas It’s shocking how bad the VGK blueline. from Theodore on down. It’s nothing bad huge mistake after huge mistake.

The frustrating thing is that VGK have all sorts of possession and yet the most dangerous chances have still been at the other end.

@SinBinVegas That’s been the best part of the game so far

I don't know what's going on in that arena but every once in a while the ice turns a hue of red. Very odd to watch on TV.

@JesseGranger_ Eichel doesn’t have a PP goal this season.

That was Colton Sissons first power play goal in 823 days. His last PPG was Dec. 23, 2023 for Nashville. He makes it 3-1

@SinBinVegas @Kroske99 The second PP unit is willing to create traffic. PP #1 has become pretty predictable lots of stickhandle slow puck movement and zero traffic. Stone needed to bury that one

@Kroske99 You can say it. I'm still going to disgaree with it.

2nd unit has been the much better power play unit recently. Three straight games scoring a goal on a nice pass from Andersson to the low slot. 3-1

@SinBinVegas It’s amazing what happens when someone attacks the net

@SinBinVegas @jasono251 The back end stinks. It’s an endless stream of mistakes and blown coverages. Theodore has been awful. Hanifin has really underachieved this year. And no one can defend

@jasono251 What is the coach supposed to do when Theodore turns it over on a clean breakout and McNabb whiffs to lead to a 3-on-1?

Now a whiff in the neutral zone by McNabb pops a 3-on-1 and the sliding defenseman is rendered useless. Horrific open to the 3rd here as they've allowed 2 and stopped a breakaway.

@SinBinVegas This is who they are. A mistake prone group of defensemen. Forwards who can’t finish scoring chances and refuse to get inside. Goaltending that’s just stinks. Tonight is one of many embarrassing efforts.

@SinBinVegas For a team fighting for the playoffs that’s pretty inexcusable. Lazy change and zero urgency. It would be nice if Theodore would show up some nights.

Terrible turnover on a pretty standard breakout. Jets hit another cross-ice pass and it's 2-0 just like that.

@SinBinVegas Seen this story before. How Hanifin can leave an 8 time 30+ goal scorer all alone is mind boggling. I realize it was a great pass but Connor is assignment #1.

Kyle Connor remains a top-line member of the All VGK Killer team. Hell of a pass by Morrissey after he dusted Kolesar down the wall. 1-0 WPG

@SinBinVegas @Vegaswaterboy53 Scoring is a big issue, yes. For me I see it as roster construction, a blue line that moves the puck but bad in its own end and too many facilitators up front. Offense is all perimeter. Bad in front of both nets. Roster construction is just bad.

@Vegaswaterboy53 It's been everything all year. Everything is connected.

Most have decided the reason VGK aren't as good this year is because of goaltending. Here's an article proving it's actually because of goal scoring. (And why both conclusions are dead wrong.) sinbin.vegas/as-easy-as-it-…

@SinBinVegas It’s not Hill. That’s all Theodore. Absolutely out of position.

Cannot leave people alone out in front of the goal. Had a screen then had time to kick the puck to his stick and poke it in. 2-1 DAL

@SinBinVegas It was a terrible call on Lauzon. Bad calls always end up in the back of the net

Great power playing beats great penalty killing. Clinical passing by the Stars and we're tied.

@DannyWebster21 Eichel has been mailing it in for 40 minutes a game. First shift today, a lazy icing, lose a faceoff clean. Ends up in the back of the net. I’m still waiting to see him drive the net. Play between the dots. Instead he dangles on the half boards. Frustrating.

Since the Olympic break: The good: - Pavel Dorofeyev: 13 points, 13 GP - Mitch Marner: 11 points, 12 GP The bad: - Jack Eichel: 6 points, -9 in 12 GP - Tomas Hertl: 1 goal since 3/4 - Mark Stone: 2 assists, -5 in 7 GP The weird: - Brayden McNabb is 3rd on the team with 30 SOG.

@SinBinVegas @dotvegasinc Like it or not they’re awful in front of both nets. They got pushed around every game. That’s soft. A lot of guys dancing around the perimeter. We love Stone and Eichel but they’ve been awful since the Olympics. Total lack of leadership. Same shit every game.

3 takeaways from the game, presented by @dotvegasinc 1) In a season where special teams has been one of the only things VGK have been able to lean on, it let them down massively and cost them a couple points. 2) Maybe the worst part of this loss is the fact that it adds another team into the playoff mix. If VGK had won this in regulation, NSH would not be a threat at all. Now, they are only 3 points back with a game in hand. 3) You cannot win hockey games if you don’t put the puck in the net. 1 goal in 3 games and 15 in 8 games since the Olympics (6 of which came in the same game). We’re to the time of the year that you need “playoff style goals” and VGK are failing the test. Get the web address you truly want!

@SinBinVegas @sabresbillsfan His nickname should be the Mailman.

@sabresbillsfan Sabres fans were bothered by it for years.

VGK's PK has been better than just about every team's PP this year... it has had no answers for the Predators though. 4-1 NSH with a pair of power play goals.

@QuechdecNick @SinBinVegas He’s been terrible for a month.

@SinBinVegas Eichel is just standing there not moving. He’s gotta make the defender move and keep him thinking. Eichel has been terrible these two PP.

If special teams start letting VGK down, it could get even uglier than it's been.

@SinBinVegas @Bozzyy_ He certainly isn’t playing like a superstar or team leader. It really looks like he mailing in a lot of shifts. Hating saying that.

@Bozzyy_ Really needed him to shoot that one near the end of it.
