In police jargon when the phrase “Shots fired” comes across the police band, this is usually not a good thing. “Shots fired” takes on an entirely different meaning in hockey jargon. Yesterday afternoon, a lot of shots were fired at T-Mobile by the VGK — 48 to be exact — on Jacob Markstrom, the bewildered […]

Knights on Ice — Two Teams Headed In the ...
In 2019 when you write things, they remain around forever, as opposed to the days before the Internet ever existed. In the old days, your words might appear in the local newspaper and then in less than 24 hours, they would wind up at the bottom of the bird cage, or wrapped around a glass […]
Knights on Ice — 65 Minutes and 11 Goals, Ente...
A normal hockey game lasts 60 minutes. In today’s NHL, goals come a lot more frequently than they used to and the tally of goals has increased dramatically over the last few years. There is zero tolerance for stick infractions and any other penalty deemed to slow the offensive player’s progress. So there aren’t many […]
Knights on Ice — No Miracle Phone Call, No Magi...
In my last blog, I pretty much threw the entire team under the bus. I did mention that there was no miracle phone call that GM McPhee could make at the trade deadline or no magical line combinations that Coach Gallant could come up with that would save whatever is possibly left of this current […]

I knew I’d be writing this post. It had to be written. But what took me so long to write it is still beyond belief. Last night’s embarrassing loss to Winnipeg by a score of 6-3 brought this piece to life. By all rights, it should have been written at some point during the Vegas […]
Knights on Ice — One Valuable Point Left Behind
With just 20 games left before the real season begins, will this one point that Vegas left on the ice last night at T-Mobile in their 3-2 shootout loss be a concern? I would love to say it will, but by the looks of things, the VGK will be opening the playoffs on the road […]

Who doesn’t like a roller coaster? No matter your age, it’s just about everyone’s highlight of the day at an amusement park. Unless you’re a VGK fan, you’re driven completely bonkers with the Space Mountain-type of a rollercoaster that this team seems to be on more often than they should this season. You see, Space […]
Knights on Ice—Finally, a Big Win
[Editor’s Note: Joe Pane is unavailable to post his blog this morning, so this is a brief recap of last night’s game.] Last nights’ game was a shot fest for the Golden Knights, who registered 50 shots on goal in their 5-1 win against the Nashville Predators. Of the game’s 18 VGK skaters, so many […]
Knights on Ice — A “Road Loss” for the VGK
This seemed to be a road game for the VGK, as there were plenty of fans in blue-and-white Toronto sweaters making their voices heard throughout the night. And those fans had a lot to be happy about, as the VGK went down to their fifth loss in a row, a team record, by a score of […]
Knights on Ice — “NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS&#...
I covered this team for 82 games last season, along with 20 playoff games. Add to that the 58 games of the 2018-2019 season and in 160 games total, I’ve never seen Coach Gallant as pissed off as I did in his post-game presser last night following the VGK’s 5-2 loss to the Arizona Coyotes […]
