Shea Theodore waited for 62:13 of a 60-minute game for the VGK to finally take the lead in a game they never led. His goal in OT defeated the 2nd place Edmonton Oilers by a score of 3-2. Vegas now leads the Pacific Division by 3 points and even if Edmonton wins their one game in […]

Knights on Ice — VGK Responds Early and Then La...
Coming off a team-wide disappointing performance in Winnipeg on Friday night, the VGK responded early in the first period, then had to dig deep and score twice in the final 1:10 to win a game they led at one time by a score of 3-0. Shea Theodore scored from a near-impossible angle when his shot […]
Knights on Ice — Stop Already and Start Paying ...
Yes, last night the VGK lost to a desperate Winnipeg Jet team 4-0. The Jets are fighting for their playoff lives. Last night the Jets were the better team, no question about that. Are they a better team overall? Not a chance. But when you look at social media and read some Twitter comments from […]

Last night was not your ordinary night at T-Mobile. The announced attendance was 18,290, but it really was 18,291, because there was an “empty” seat in section 8 of the lower bowl. It appeared empty if you watched the game on TV, but the soul and spirit of John “VGK Hulk” Baratta was there and […]
Knights on Ice — The Good, the Bad, and the Ugl...
All of these were present last night at T-Mobile and, unfortunately, the 18,419 who were also in attendance had to suffer through the bad and the ugly when the worst team in the league, the L.A. Kings, snapped the VGK’s 8-game win streak with their 4-1 victory. I will save the only good thing about […]
Knights on Ice — The Big Guy
Following the morning skate, when Coach DeBoer was asked who would be in goal, he responded, “The big guy.” At first, some of the members of the media were not completely sure who he meant; Marc-André Fleury has always been the Big Guy for this franchise from Day 1. Last night, the “big guy,” Robin […]

In the movie My Cousin Vinny, Vinny Gambino played by Joe Pesci did not blend in, not only in the courtroom, but certainly not in Beckham County, Georgia, and he was reminded of that in various ways, as only a girlfriend can, by Mona Lisa Vito, played by Marisa Tomei (who won the Academy Award […]

Last night, the VGK moved one step closer to matching the longest win streak in their brief history with their 6-5 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks when Shea Theodore scored with 1:10 left in OT, beating John Gibson to the far post as he cruised down the right-wing and took a pass from Mark […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Bend, But Don’t Break Once...
Last night, the VGK beat the Florida Panthers 5-3 at T-Mobile in front of 18,480. It was their 5th win in a row, a season-high, and it could not have come at a better time. They left Minnesota beaten and demoralized on Feb 11 and 11 days later, they have picked themselves up off the mat and […]

Last night, Alec Martinez officially surrendered his King’s crown and was Knighted at T-Mobile in front of 18,376. During A-Mart’s coronation, the VGK proceeded to defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-3. In the process, Alec became only the fourth VGK to register a multi-point game in his first appearance as a Golden Knight: A-Mart had 1 […]
