What is going on with Vegas?

[SnowblindNYR]

They're 3-8-3 in the last 14. Was surprised at the stats when I heard it last game and even more surprised since they lost 2 in regulation since then. Is this just middle of the season doldrums?

Looks like they got goalied today, but yeah, seems they are in a funk

They’re struggling, I feel like this thread is kind of a shot at the islanders though

No depth. If Eichel/Stone/Hertl aren't scoring then no one else is (maybe Doro).

Defense has done little offensively. Hanifin is a disaster.

Goaltending, shockingly, has been suspect.

Also, the Rangers. I was shocked that we beat them twice and we're mid AF this year.

Beer carts are being left empty and they can’t decide whom is going on LTIR next, so they all decided to go.

Vegas was never good.

I mean they had a really good record to begin with. 3-8-3 is a long enough and bad enough stretch where it raises eyebrows. Not exactly the Rangers 4-15 Picasso, lol. But to be fair Vegas doesn't have a bunch of whinny p***yes on the team like the Rangers, lol.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Pretty average goaltending so if it catches the lower end of variance they can definitely lose a good stretch of games.

 

[eojsmada]

Their constant loss of quality depth players over time is catching up to them. Thomspon, Marchessault, and Smith in the last year and a bit. And more since their Cup. Hard to replace.

 

[Turin]

Their goalies stink and they have guys like Victor Olafsson and Holtz playing up in the lineup. Their roster has holes now.

Yeah, Adin Hill looked really bad against the Rangers.

 

[Coffey]

Yeah, Adin Hill looked really bad against the Rangers.

Adin Hill is still prime Hasek against the Oilers. So they have that going for them.

 

[centipede2233]

They did lose their 2/3/4 reg season scoring leaders from their cup season in chandler Stephenson, Marchessault, and R.Smith.

I still think if Woodcroft played Campbell when he was getting hot instead of letting Skinner collapse, we beat Vegas. One of the biggest mistakes in the history of the franchise.

Over the last 10 games they have 2 regulation wins, tied for DFL with Chicago and San Jose.

Whether or not it’s truly cause for concern is hard to say as an outsider, every good team goes through slumps.
