I haven't watched Vegas yet, but they are obviously doing something very right on the ice. What is their style? I get the sense from highlights that it's high-tempo pressure/attack style, but not necessarily with the talent to pull off a real skill or possession game? I don't know. That is a rag-tag lineup if there ever was one, and I honestly thought they were ticketed for 31st in the league, easy. Even when they started hot, I figured the bottom would eventually fall out. Now... it's getting harder to expect that. Is our former assistant Gallant heading for the Coach of the Year?

P.S. Habs are down to 28th now, #4 overall draft seed!
