Shea Theodore as... McDonald's
Some Vegas Golden Knights stars have a specific specialty in their games. They come through in key situations, whether it's Tomas Hertl on the power play or William Karlsson on the penalty kill. But Shea Theodore comes through in many spots, making him a valuable member of the Vegas Golden Knights.
That's why he's comparable to McDonald's. He's been forgotten by some fans over the years. However, he's versatile and serves more than one purpose. Need a power play attack with some meat? Theodore delivers passes like Big Mac's. Maybe you're looking for a simple running mate on the attack? The defenseman specializes in this as well, distributing pucks like McNuggets. That's why he has four assists to start the season.
Adin Hill as... Farmer Boys
I don't know how this association came to fruition. Maybe it's Farmer Boys being a simple concept that caters to all times of the day. It doesn't matter if you're looking for breakfast or a BBQ crunch cheeseburger box. They deliver at any time of the day. That's been Adin Hill's calling card the past couple of seasons prior to 2024-25.
Yes, he might be off to a slow start to begin the season. However, he has performed well in the past two full seasons. That includes a save percentage of .915 in his Stanley Cup-winning season, where he also had a GAA of 2.50 in 25 games started. That's good for an original backup goaltender who won the starting job. The only question is if he can sustain that play. Will he emerge on top or get hurt in the process?
