After the VGK 5-2 victory on Friday against the same L.A. Kings, I wrote that there was no sign of rust among the players after a 9-day layoff. Because he never stepped on to the ice, I didn’t include Robin Lehner in that opinion. Well, yesterday, he was in the net, as the goaltending rotation […]

Knights on Ice — No Rust In Vegas
Las Vegas dry climate pretty much assures you that you will not see rust developing on anything. But one had to think that the VGK might show some signs thereof. The Knights hadn’t played in 9 days and were missing their top defensemen pairing in Pietrangelo and McNabb, which forced the insertion of 2 players […]
Knights on Ice — So Were They Lucky To Get a Po...
When St. Louis comes to Vegas, things get really weird, so weird that I’m not sure if Vegas was lucky to salvage one point last night, preventing it from being a 4-point divisional game, or they deserved better than they got. My first reaction when the buzzer sounded after 60 minutes with the score tied […]
Knights on Ice — A Wildflower Appears in ...
Very few things have the capability to grow in the desert and yesterday that appeared to hold true, as the VGK and Arizona Coyotes faced off in the final game of their 4-game series. Arizona especially wasn’t producing much of anything for the entire 60 minutes, launching only 16 shots that found their way toward […]
Knights on Ice — Defensive Breakdowns and...
The VGK embarked on their first road trip of the season to face off against the Arizona Coyotes, whom they just played and beat twice at T-Mobile. The venue changed and so did the outcome as the Coyotes avenged their back-to-back losses earlier this week by defeating the VGK by a final score of 5-2. […]
Knights on Ice — Who Would Have Thought?
Who would have thought that the VGK would start the season with Marc-Andre Fleury still on the team? Who would have thought they would set a franchise record with 4 straight wins to open the season? Who would have thought that they’d be the only team in the entire NHL that remains undefeated that has […]
Vegas Golden Knights — Vegas Starts the S...
Yes, the VGK beat the Arizona Coyotes last night by a score of 4-2 for their 3rd straight win to open the season, but there are issues with this team. Those will be exposed by a formidable opponent if they continue to refuse to play 60 minutes and go long stretches without even registering a […]
Knights on Ice — It’s Good to See The Flower Sm...
It’s been awhile since Marc-André Fleury, a.k.a. The Flower, has smiled while wearing a VGK jersey. But yesterday his smile was a welcome sight to all who watched from their couches, as T-Mobile remains empty except for a few lucky media people who get to watch the game live. It was very strange for me […]
Vegas Golden Knights — Somewhat Unconventional ...
Last night at T-Mobile, the VGK returned to the ice for the first time in 123 days to face the Anaheim Ducks, who haven’t played in 310 days. What could we expect, especially considering that there were no exhibition games played and it was a truncated training camp for the teams to work on their […]
Knights on Ice — A Puck over the Glass, a Broke...
What was the real cause of the VGK bowing out of the Western Conference Finals last night in just five games, losing to Dallas in overtime by a score of 3-2? Was it Zach Whitecloud sending the puck over the glass in overtime, causing the delay-of-game penalty that put Dallas on the power play in […]
