Hate the cliche but I think Vegas just wanted it more. A 7-2 loss 4 days prior will have that effect.

There just wasn't much room out there, Vegas took away the neutral zone.
There weren't many grade A scoring chances, and when there were Fleury slammed the door.

I thought Rittich was great. Still, I would go with Smith in Arizona.

Carry on.

Thought there was effort there, but they really lacked a sense of urgency.
Felt like they ate too much thanksgiving turkey on Thursday and combined with the afternoon game just never really woke up.
The number of dumb pass attempts that went wrong, the number of failures to clear the zone, and worst of all their inability to receive passes with any kind of consistency was awful.
They just looked mentally tired and not fully engaged.

Love these Bingo, just want to point out that it's Juuso Välimäki, not Jusso. Thanks!

The problem may have had more to do with Vegas flu than too much turkey. Looking forward to seeing how they respond on Sunday.
