Shut out 2 straight games. Just Wow.
Fluery deserved better than this.
We're not going to go anywhere until Foligno and Hartman are back.

Fleury was outstanding for this game by stopping 29 out of 30 shots. He deserved at least one point from this game as well as fans too. Sad that it was such a minimal score 0:1.  Overall, It was a tough game for us(team blocked a lot of shots too) and also will be a tough one on Friday against Kraken team which won against us with a score 4:0 last week and last night won over Predators with a score 5:1. That Kraken team is impressing me this season a lot so far. According to their special style of play this team probably will go deep during Stanley Cup playoffs. And Vegas team is doing pretty well too in their Division(12-2-0) by having already 24 points in 14 played games.

I just watched the game recap. 
Did I miss a rule change, why won’t the defenseman stand these solo puck carriers up instead of trying to play the puck all the time?

My problems with stats like these is unless you want a broad picture, You're not getting a realistic picture.
Fluery had a horrid start in 1st 3 games and one of the L's got pinned on Gustavsson. Since then Fluery has been fine, Yet the #'s don't reflect that.
Talbot let in 3 less goals in that time period but Hartman and Foligno were joining the scoring bandwagon.

Wins and losses on goalies is a terrible stat. If the offense isn’t scoring what the hell is a goalie to do besides throwing shutouts and 1 goal games every time he’s between the pipes

Sadly we witnessed that last night.
Might even be worse if Kap gets a suspension which if they watch the whole play would show he doesn't deserve it. I didn't see intent to injure, But a frustrated move gone wrong.

* just saw a 5k fine.  You'd have to work up to a 'Slap on the wrist' from that. 
Either way, The guys need to keep their emotions in check and stick to the game especially with the team so dismantled right now.
