The movie Valiant will be shown before today’s game at T-Mobile. Anyone with a ticket to the game will relive the incredible story about a team being so valiant that they shocked the entire hockey world in their inaugural season, setting numerous records that had been around for 100 years in the NHL. The team […]

Knights on Ice — Shake, Rattle and …
Coach Gallant has obviously had seen enough looking back, not only on the last 4 road games, but the 3 previous home games, where leads were lost through a lack of getting his team to play a complete 60-minute game. Last night’s game was a clear indication that he was going to shake, rattle, and […]
Knights on Ice — “It’s Starting To Get Old”
Before anyone accuses me of being too critical of the VGK with the title of this blog, please be aware that it’s a quote from Jonathan Marchessault. It immediately followed the Knights’ 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, when he was asked about the team’s failure to protect leads and close out games. Marchessault […]
Knights on Ice — Vegas, We Have A Problem
The famous quote from the Apollo 13 mission to NASA headquarters in Houston was, “Houston, we’ve had a problem,” which over the years has been misquoted many times to “Houston, we have a problem.” The VGK headquarters is right here in Vegas and let me tell you all, Vegas, we have a problem. The VGK […]
Knights on Ice — Leafs Stick It to the Knights
In last night’s game won by Toronto by a score of 2-1, a few sticks came into play. Actually, they weren’t in the play that led to Toronto tying the game on a power-play goal with both Cody Eakin and Brayden McNabb not having their sticks in their hands, while they were attempting to kill […]
Knights on Ice — A Good Night for Two Golden Kn...
Last night’s 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets was needed more than you realize. Two Knights, Reilly Smith and Marc-Andre Fleury, played key roles in assuring this win for a team that is in somewhat of a fragile state of mind. Blowing 2-goal leads in back-to-back home games can cause a case of uncertainty, […]
Knights on Ice — Insanity
Albert Einstein defined insanity as, “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Well, call me crazy, but once again, the VGK had a 2-goal lead in the 3rd period over a team that was playing its second game in 2 nights and once again, they did the same exact thing. Were […]
Knights on Ice — No Treat for the VGK
Yes, on a night that is noted for the option of a trick or a treat, the VGK got the trick and not the treat in their 5-4 OT loss to the Montreal Canadiens at T-Mobile. It was a night that should have been about 177. Yes, the return of Nate Schmidt, #88, and Alex […]
Knights on Ice — BiPolar or Polar Opposite?
Don’t ask me. I’m not a doctor. And truthfully, I’m confused myself. But to put it simply, bipolar is a brain disorder causing unusual mood changes and shifts in energy and level of activity. I’m not suggesting that the VGK have a brain disorder, but the unusual mood changes and shifts in energy have been present […]
Knights on Ice — Embarrassing
Yes, that’s exactly what it was, but no one wanted to say it, until Coach Gallant himself used the word to describe the Vegas Golden Knights’ 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche. The only thing the 18,420 in attendance in this afternoon matinee to celebrate Nevada Day could stand and cheer for […]
