Once again, the Mc’s (Kelly McCrimmon and George McPhee) broke the NHL on trade deadline day! This year (in order), Anthony Mantha, Noah Hanifin, and the bombshell that no one saw coming, Thomas Hertl, joined the VGK.
According to Lindsey, Chris, and Eddie, the VGK had already won the trade deadline before the Hertl trade, but seconds before the noon PST deadline, the VGK ended any and all speculation.
After a deep dive on the three new Knights, the gang moves onto the Western Conference arms race. All of the contenders made moves, but … Who improved? Who didn’t? And who needed to do more?
Finally, the episode closes with a breakdown of the VGK’s recent play, their slump, and and analysis of the stretch run. Are the VGK in danger of not making the playoffs? Is it time to push the panic button?
Episode 72 of Hockey Knights in Vegas is fast paced. You don’t want to miss all the hot takes!
