The VGK, reeling from a 5-game losing streak, needed a bit of St. Paddy’s Day luck when they returned to T-Mobile to face the high- scoring Florida Panthers, who are not only averaging over 4 goals per game, but sit at the top of the entire Eastern Conference with 88 points. Florida also arrived at […]

Status Quo or No Bueno?
I’m not sure how to describe the current state of the VGK after their loss last night to yet another non-playoff team, the Winnipeg Jets, by a score of 7-3. Is it status quo and will it remain this way for the foreseeable future, considering the long list of (9) players missing? Or is their […]
Are You Sick of It Yet?
I’m not entirely sure that you are sick of it yet, but make no bones about it, Chandler Stephenson is and he made that real clear in his post-game comments when he said, “I’m sick of it.” As if that wasn’t enough to make you understand that Chandler and the rest of the team are […]
Is It Time To Be Concerned Yet?
If you’re a VGK fan, this seems like the season that Murphy’s Law was written for. In Murphy’s law, if there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Well, anything and everything that could have gone wrong this season […]
Trading Places — Who Won This Bet?
Trading Places is a 1983 American comedy film. The film tells the story of an upper-class commodities broker and a poor street hustler whose lives cross when they’re unwittingly made the subject of an elaborate bet to test how each man will perform when their life circumstances are swapped. Fast forward to the NHL version […]
One Goal Would and Should Have Been Good Enough
Last night, the VGK lost to the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1, for one reason and one reason only. Do you know the reason? I’ll leave this question open to those who suffered through this game that the VGK had no business losing. This is the second time this season that Philadelphia, at the bottom of the […]
Was There a Full Moon Last Night at T-Mobile?
A lot of things occurred last night that were out of the norm in the VGK 2-1 last-second victory over the Ottawa Senators, when Jack Eichel scored with 5.2 seconds left in the game. To amplify this abnormality, the last time the VGK scored a game-winning goal this late in a game that was not […]
DeBoer Pulls out the Blender and Whips the VGK ...
After their last game at T-Mobile against Boston, Jonathan Marchessault said, “Enough is enough.” Last night Pete DeBoer also had enough, but didn’t say anything out loud. Instead, he spoke to the team through his actions: He pulled out his blender and whipped up new line combinations. Truthfully, the old servings weren’t good for the […]

“Enough Is Enough” Puts the VGK in ...
Since the beginning of this franchise, Jonathan Marchessault has been telling it like it is. It’s not often, post-game, players don’t offer the usual canned responses; they’re very careful how they answer questions, especially after a loss. Last night, not only Jonathan, one of the original Misfits, but also the new guy in the room […]
