It was obvious which team was fighting and which team was waiting for it to happen in last night’s game. The Golden Knights, who’ll make the playoffs no matter how uninspired they play, lost the game in the first period where they looked slow and not interested in taking their playoff-clinching opportunity into their own […]

Saturday’s game against Detroit ended just 19 seconds into overtime when Reilly Smith attempted a blind behind-the-back pass in front of Malcolm Subban. Last night, Subban picked up right where Smith left off with his own blind behind-the-back pass. That one was picked off by Zach Sanford, who was behind the net. Seconds later, Sanford […]

It’s difficult to find fault with the VGK, especially over the last 11 games in which they’ve won every one except for their loss in Calgary on March 10 by a score of 6-3. In their last 10 wins from Feb. 26 till March 21, they surrendered only 16 goals. In the same period of time, they […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Score 18 Goals for Subban ...
The VGK are scoring goals in bunches for Malcolm Subban, who has been filling in for the injured or resting Marc-André Fleury. You decide which one it is. In my last post, I told you my own theory on this lower-body injury that has kept Fleury out of the lineup the last three games. Last […]

The San Jose Sharks have been trying to lock up a playoff spot for the last three games. A win will do it. But they lost on Thursday night to the Florida Panthers at home by a score of 4-2. In their next game on Saturday, the playoff-clincher was right before their eyes and once […]

This team is snake-bitten this year when it comes to injuries. Yet they keep on plugging along, winning the 8th of their last 9 games with last night’s 6-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers. All of this despite the parade to the infirmary. They have yet to have a complete healthy roster at any point this […]

I wasn’t sure what to expect last night. The Vegas Golden Knights hadn’t played since last Sunday in Calgary when their six-game winning streak was snapped. Dallas, on the other hand, was playing in their third game in four nights and had won the previous two, both on the road. Well, the end result was a […]
Knights on Ice — Timing Is Everything, But So I...
A 20-minute NHL hockey period takes between 35 and 40 minutes to play, depending on the number of stoppages. The intermission between periods is 18 minutes. So the drop of the puck for the second period is usually about an hour after the opening faceoff. Last night, the VGK were playing for the second night in […]

Six goals were scored in the Stone Age version of the VGK’s Part 2 of Season 2, five in the first period alone, to beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2. The first three were scored in just 8:33. Five goals scored in the first period is a team record. And the current six-game winning streak is […]

In Las Vegas, a number of superstars have had residencies here on the Strip: J-Lo, Lady Gaga, Carlos Santana, and of course Céline Dion, to name just a few. Last night, Marc-André Fleury announced his own residency — inside the heads of the entire Calgary Flames team, especially Matthew Tkachuk’s and netminder’s David Rittich. In […]
