It’s the home stretch for the VGK, with 15 games remaining, and the team is still struggling with consistency in both the lineup and their play.
Lindsey, Chris, and Eddie delve into what’s ailing the team and what head coach Bruce Cassidy is doing to fix it. To that end, Cassidy sent shockwaves through the locker room by inserting Alec Martinez and Ben Hutton into the lineup and healthy scratching Zac Whitecloud and Nic Hague in Sunday’s game against New Jersey. The result? One of the best defensive performances by the team in recent memory and a convincing 3-1 victory.
Is that change going to stick?
With eight healthy D men, who are the odd men out? What will the pairs be if the VGK makes the playoffs? And is it time to split up Shea Theodore and Brayden McNabb? There are lots of possibilities and speculation and the crew gives their best guesses.
Then it’s on to the scorching-hot issue for the VGK fanbase: Where will Conn Smythe winner and team-lead scorer Jonathan Marchessault play next year? Everyone knows Marchessault is on an expiring contract and has earned a huge raise. But there are concerns.
This is a can’t-miss segment full of hot takes by the crew and predictions that are sure to infuriate VGK fans worldwide!
