Status report
The Golden Knights are expected to dress the same 18 skaters from a 3-2 overtime loss at the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday. … The Jets held an optional morning skate. Stanley, a defenseman, was suspended one game for roughing Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkackuk on Saturday. Fleury, a defenseman, will replace him.

Oh, oh, livin' on a prayer ... (literally form management and coaching 😁).

This team is a dumpster fire.   Something has to give.

Lifted from the Winnipeg Sun:

“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a situation where there’s so many guys having slumps at the same time,” Niederreiter said. “I went and backtracked and I’m always slumping around the same time, which is this time, so it’s nothing new to me. The only new part is that we lose a lot of hockey games, which makes it even harder.”

I find this such an odd thing to say, like yup it's that time of the year I go into a slump nothing out of order here, no biggie, nothing new. lol

[BomberBall.]

Perfect example of one of the reasons this team struggles.  Possess the puck in our zone, cough it up and take a penalty 16 seconds into the game.

Fleury down and he isn't getting up

That was ugly.  Good that he was conscious and moving.  Hopefully he’s okay.

well he's done for the day since it's not a good sign if we see the stretcher chances are we won't get an update til the 2nd period

Yes, it was pretty obvious that he wouldn’t be back tonight.

there goes our shutout

[captaincanuck12]

Nine shots through two periods. And of course our penalty kill gives up yet another goal.  Jet's extremely fortunate that Vegas is off their game right now

To be fair, the Jets are a big reason why Vegas is off their game.

Stone interfered with Schenn off the draw, then ends up scoring.  I wish officials would pay more attention to that type of interference…. It happens a lot and it’s rarely called.

And just now Schiefs gets mugged and pulled down right in front of the ref and no call.  That's b*******

And of course Vegas scores to tie it up. Vlad passes up a golden opportunity to shoot.  

[captaincanuck12]

What a bunch of f****** b******* these refs are. No call on Hart Throwing his goal stick and then just before that no call on Gabe.  But as soon as Marner goes down oh penalty.

 

[Piggy 1]

And on ,and on we go. Blame the refs all you want. Our so called stars arent playing like it. 

[HardCoreBlue]

Ho hum another L. 

Calm blue ocean. Calm blue ocean. Serenity now.
