When Coach Gallant stops rolling out four lines one right after another, you know something is wrong. Last night, Gallant did something he’d never done in the VGK’s 140 regular-season and 20 playoff games: He played only 10 forwards for the entire third period. The Blue Jackets continued with four complete lines that consisted of […]

Knights on Ice — 29 For 29
Last night, Marc André Fleury recorded his league-leading 29th win of the season in his 48th game played in the VGK 4-3 win over Detroit. Last season, the Flower had 29 wins for the entire season when he played in just 46 games due to an injury suffered against the same Detroit Red Wings on Friday Oct. […]

Despite all of this, the VGK overcame a 2-0 deficit by scoring two unanswered goals in regulation and one in the shootout to defeat Tampa Bay, the number-one team in the NHL, 3-2 and snap a franchise-record four-game losing streak. Vegas outshot Tampa 6-0 in the overtime. It should also be noted that my theory, that […]

If you’re not from Brooklyn or not Italian, let me help you with this explanation about how you should feel about the VGK’s first regular-season four-game losing streak in franchise history. JUST FORGET ABOUT IT. There’s nothing anyone can do about it. When you score just 6 goals in 4 games, chances are pretty strong […]
Knights on Ice — The VGK Stumble from Their Bye...
Last night, the Vegas Golden Knights returned to the ice after being off for eight days and it showed. In a very unKnight-like performance, their play was sloppy in all areas of the ice in the 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Carolina. It was also their third loss in a row and the fifth in […]

Juuse Saroys is currently the backup goaltender for the Nashville Predators, but you’d never know it watching him play against the VGK. Last night he saved the game for Nashville and was the best goaltender on the ice at T-Mobile. It’s a cold day in Las Vegas when your game storyline is about a goaltender […]

Last night was a tough night to be a VGK player and fan, but it was even tougher to be Brad Hunt, who left Las Vegas with the Minnesota Wild on their plane following the Wild’s 4-2 win at T-Mobile. Brad Hunt had been with Vegas from day one. He played in 58 games as […]
Knights on Ice — The Feel of a Heavyweight Figh...
Yes, last night’s game had the feel of a heavyweight fight, with punches and counter punches exchanged between the VGK and Fleury’s old team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. There were multiple lead changes, a comeback for the Penguins after they were nearly TKO/counted out at the buzzer that ended the first period trailing 3-1, even a […]
Knights on Ice — Power Outage in Winnipeg
Last night in Winnipeg, the Vegas Golden Knights encountered the Winnipeg Jets, the first game back in Winnipeg for the VGK since they captured the Western Conference Championship on May 20, 2018, by a score of 2-1 on a Ryan Reaves’ goal. Revo’s goal eliminated Winnipeg from the remainder of the playoffs and sent Vegas to the […]
Knights on Ice — Another Proof of the 0-2 Theor...
Those who’ve been following my coverage of the VGK over the last two seasons know about my 0-2 Theory. For new followers, the Theory is this: The next team to score in an 0-2 game will win. Last night, the Theory held true as the VGK beat the Chicago Blackhawks by a score of 4-3 […]
