Yes, too big to rig, like games 2 and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will D. Ness Verified Member Posted Monday at 04:33 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:33 PM I understand playing conservative in OT, but I think that plays into the hands of Vegas. Vegas is basically designed to win wars of attrition. The Wild have a much more dynamic but yet balanced game and I think we have exposed Vegas somewhat. I think we need to keep the gas pedal on and play slightly loose and massively tenacious. We will break Vegas down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will break Vegas down. Not sure we will Will. Vegas is rolling 4 lines, pretty evenly leaning on the whole team. Hynes is playing a 2-3 line games and trying to give very little sheltered minutes to the 4th line and 3rd pairing. Unfortunately, the longer the series goes, the more advantage Vegas has. I hope I'm wrong but Hynes loading up mins for the first line and first pairing might bite us in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say break them down, I don't mean physically. I mean tactically. Our top line playing to their skill is our best chance to win. I don't think we should play tight. Now regarding minutes, yeah you are right. It's a problem. They certainly have the depth. I hope Merrill can come in and play his best hockey... I do think he is less of a liability than Zeev defensively and honestly Zeev wasn't bringing anything offensive to the table to justify him playing.
