Vegas is a team built upon trust in each other and trust in their coaching staff.
A phrase repeated by Head Coach Bruce Cassidy is that the team ‘buys in’ to what the coaches provide for them. Cassidy mentioned postgame from San Jose that the players are self-correcting things that went wrong on the bench before he could say anything and that they’re dialed into the game plan.
The Golden Knights find ways to win despite teams attempting comebacks or falling behind.
Shea Theodore said that the team did a good job of slowing down San Jose’s comeback on Tuesday and getting back to their game, that the team found different ways to score and played the correct way to dig out the win.
