Ugly, lack of hustle, no fight and just not good enough are all words and phrases you can chuck out at the Vegas Golden Knights in the wake of their no-show at the Excel Energy Center.
With the Edmonton Oilers having lost Connor McDavid for a few weeks and the Vancouver Canucks without stud forward Brock Boeser for a handful of games, there was a real opportunity for the Knights to start making up some serious ground in the Pacific Division.
Instead, they put on an absolute choke show and this loss perhaps epitomized Vegas’ season best, blowing hot and cold and lurching from one end of the spectrum to another.
