VGK was hit hard by the Olympics with eight players on national rosters

There was a huge impact with the Olympic games for VGK with eight players representing five countries.  It took a while for VGK to return to normalcy with five players in the Gold Medal game.  VGK defeated the Kings in the first game back, but proceeded to lose six of seven games and it eventually cost Bruce Cassidy his job.  Cassidy was also affected by participating with Team Canada. There was also a condensed schedule with VGK playing 18 games in 35 days,  We also discuss the damage created by John Tortorella when he was the interim coach, including blowing off the presser after Game Six vs the Ducks.  And we explore the possibility of Ryan Craig playing Marner and Eichel together more often on the top line.  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.
