I watched some of the VGK/Nucks game last night...VGK is absolutely and fearlessly *relentless* on the puck, especially in their own end....if the Flames start fumbling around with the puck in the O-zone like they have been recently, they are going to allow a LOT of turnovers and odd-man rushes back. Gotta say that I was highly impressed with the aggression and puck pressure by Vegas in their D-zone. Especially on the PK..they hammer the guys on the blue line mercilessly. (The Flames did the same earlier in the year, but seem to be playing a little more backed-off now.)
I hope the boys come out hard and fast, hit, check and skate their collective butts off, b/c they simply haven't done enough of that the past few games. This opponent is no pushover, tired or not.
