I’m not really sure if the VGK mailed this one in last night against Arizona or if it was a pure case of emotional letdown following a critical and emotional win against Colorado at T-Mobile on Wednesday. There was no miracle 3rd period comeback that we have gotten used to. As a matter of fact, […]

Who exactly are the top guns for the Golden Knights? I’ve listed them in alphabetical order so no one can accuse me of who I think is more important to the success of this team. All 3 of these players bring something special to the mission of this team and last night’s mission was a […]

Last night the VGK beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-1 at the Honda Center in Anaheim for their 9th win in a row, a franchise record. But they might have paid a costly price in the process. Coming into last night’s game, the VGK were down 3 forwards, all due to injuries: Reilly Smith, Keegan Kolesar, […]
Knights on Ice — A Knight To Remember
Last night, the VGK once again rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 5-2. San Jose opened the scoring like they did on Monday night when Timo Meier scored just 2:38 into the first period, but unlike Monday night, the VGK never let San Jose get a 2-goal lead. Jonathan Marchessault scored his first goal […]

The VGK were on fumes last night when they faced off against the San Jose Sharks, who were set to play an emotional game for Patrick Marleau. It was his 1,768th NHL game, breaking a record that has been held by Gordie Howe for the last 41 years. Many thought this record would never be […]
Knights on Ice — From 4 Goals to 27 Goals
The VGK have righted their ship after it hit a sandbar in the beginning of April. They started the month losing 3 of 4 games and in their 3 losses scored a total of 4 goals. Since the first 4 games of April, the VGK have ripped off a 6-game winning streak, scoring 27 goals. […]

The saying made famous by Yogi Berra many years ago was proven wrong last night in Anaheim. In his inimitable fashion, Yogi was telling people to wait and not to make a judgment yet, because the struggle still might be turned around. Obviously, Yogi wasn’t aware that the Anaheim Ducks played like it was over […]

Jonathan Quick made a brief appearance in last night’s game. He lasted just 8 shots or 15:25 into the game, giving up 3 goals before being replaced by Cal Petersen. A recurring problem for the VGK this season had been giving up goals on either the first shot of the game or in the early […]
Knights on Ice — The Drought Ends in L.A.
The goal droughts of Alex Tuch (14 games) and Mark Stone (10 games) became history when they both scored key goals in the VGK 4-2 win over the L.A. Kings. Stone’s shorthanded goal just as the 2nd period was coming to a close was a game changer. Goals in the final minute of a period […]

The VGK had a big hill to climb in order to sweep the Arizona Coyotes in the 2nd game of their 2-game series Sunday afternoon at T-Mobile, with a very determined Adin Hill back in the net. Hill was left out to dry by his teammates on Friday night when the VGK peppered him with […]
