About 3 minutes in, Gallant says that the only time they have trouble is when they are not playing fast.
I like that a lot, and every time this year, when I saw Smith holding the puck behind the net, with Gio in one corner and Hamilton in the other, waiting to see to whom Smith would dish, I cried a bit inside while the opponent set up their D structure. Then, when Smith spied a clear pass to Tkachuk at the far blue line and the opponents closed on him and forced a turnover, I gave up on Gully.
This team played stupid hockey last year.
And when you see who made the final, and how, I have no trouble cheering for Vegas.
