QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“You don’t want to lose anyone, but obviously him and his caliber it’s tough to lose him. But at the same time, we got to do a job and try to — you can’t really fill that void. You don’t have a guy like Artemi, rarely. I wouldn’t say anyone in the league is like him. You just got to do it collectively and just whoever plays in that spot just do the best of his ability and just keep going.”

— Mika Zibanejad on the team losing Artemi Panarin to injury

I can't help but wonder how in the world Vegas is even good with a lineup like that.  Granted I don't really know anything about Chandler Stephenson but all of a sudden he's a point per game player.

Well, in that case the VGN cannot intercept Panarin's cross-ice, or other passes...

Need to do something about MaxPac tonight. Dude has been on fire since returning from his injury.

No...just a blowy from Quinn

[Kevin]

Think Laf gets on the scoresheet tonight.  I've been crushing him lately...time for him to make me eat Simon's favorite food.

[Karan]

Chytil's back in the lineup, yay. VGK's in big trouble now.

That something is named JACOB FUCKIN' TROUBA.

The fact that Chytil is bumped up to the 2nd line instead of Alf should be as telling as any of us need to see. Kid must not even be practicing well.
