Vegas Golden Knights Must Dominate PACE vs. Calgary—Can Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner Deliver?
Vegas Golden Knights ramp up the tempo as they face the Calgary Flames—can John Tortorella’s pressure-first tactics spark a late-season surge? Goalie Carter Hart’s anticipated return stirs up a heated carousel, while speculation swirls on whether he, Adin Hill, or Schmidt can anchor VGK’s playoff push. The episode unpacks Tortorella’s roster maneuvers and the impact of recent trades, including Zach Whitecloud’s emotional return and Mitch Marner’s shifting role.
Tony Dasco and Chris Gawlik spotlight VGK’s defensive zone pressure, question the sustainability of a high-paced attack, and debate if Vegas can roll four consistent lines. Key topics include playoff race scenarios, player chemistry, odds on divisional matchups, and how goaltending may determine the Golden Knights’ fate. Will Tortorella’s bold moves and locker room leadership help VGK outpace rivals like the Oilers and secure their postseason spot?

Yes Tortella will give Marner , Echel , and Stone more ice time together . Should have never been split up on different lines . Hart should be a good improvement in goal for Vegas . Not sure if he was prepared to return to the NHL when he did ?
Gotta apply more pressure because we can't stop the puck.
Schmid is good in relief. Starting, not so much.
Either of Calgary's netminders is very capable on any given night of goalie-ing their opposition. Beware !!!!
Here's a lock, prop, and chance for ya: What's the line that Hertl isn't a Golden Knight next year.
Torts is not the mean guy they say he is. He is in to animal rescue so he can’t be too bad😂. Whitecloud will definitely get an ovation from my wife and I he was one of our favorite players and just a regular down to earth guy that would talk to you like he knew you. Not to mention a hell of a hockey player. Honestly wish VGK would get him back as I think he did a lot for the team and community.
Vegas needs to dominate like i DOMINATED chris and tony(small cases) on the team realities.
Pure Domination it must be said
;p
The construction shirt isn't the worst if you work construction Tony.
Whitecloud has been great for the Flames. Great acquisition.
Also, it’s pronounced Calg-ry not Cal-gary.
Whitecloud for Anderson any day of the week…..
