“There’s no way they’re going to be a better team than us by the end of the season,” insisted Drew Doughty on December 28, 2017, immediately following a game that Vegas won in L.A. Doughty scored a goal late in the 3rd period to tie the game and send it into overtime. The VGK win came when David […]

Knights on Ice — A Lot Of Heart Makes It 3-0
This team is such a pleasure to watch. They can and will play whatever kind of game is presented to them. They just don’t blink. Last night, the L.A. Kings had to play better than they did in the first two games. The only reason the first two games were even close was Jonathan Quick, […]
Knights on Ice — Not So Quick
Ninety-five minutes and 23 seconds, that’s what it took to decide the winner of Game 2 of this opening round of the 2017-2018 NHL playoff series, in which the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the L.A. Kings 2-1. A hockey game’s normal playing time is 60 minutes, but when you have two world-class goaltenders in the nets, 60 […]
Knights on Ice — Stanley Cup Playoffs, Medieval...
When you think of medieval times, you can’t help but think of kings and knights. Usually, the kings and knights are on the same team. Last night, the only thing that the L.A. Kings and Vegas Golden Knights shared was the 200 feet by 85 feet of ice surface of T-Mobile Arena. Truth be told, the VGK […]
Knights on Ice — Bad Rehearsal, Strong Performa...
A well-known saying in showbiz holds that bad rehearsals lead to strong performances. Well, for the VGK, I hope this is true, because last night’s final game of the season was pretty bad. As a matter of fact, it might have been the only game of the 82-game season that the VGK were totally unprepared and looked totally uninterested […]
Knights on Ice — Three out of Four
Only one team can say they’ve beaten the VGK three out of four games this year: the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers won last night’s game 4-3, dashing any hopes of the VGK capturing the President’s Trophy, awarded to the team with the most points for the season. Even so, Vegas’ probability of winning it this […]
Knights on Ice — Pirri Takes Advantage
Last night’s game had no real significance for the VGK, as they close out the last three games of their inaugural season. They’ve already clinched the Pacific Division, while their chance of catching Nashville for the Western Conference lead seems almost unreachable. Nashville leads Vegas by 6 points, 113 to 107. Vegas would have to […]
Knights on Ice — 58 to 1
Most who see the title of this will immediately think that I somehow are referencing that the VGK were 58 to 1 to win the Pacific Division or maybe they were 58 to 1 to make the playoffs. Nothing could be further from the truth. You see, back on October 5, a day before the Vegas Golden […]
Knights on Ice — 22 Skidoo
Yes, just 22 seconds into overtime, Jonathan Marchessault scored his second goal of the game, propelling the VGK to a victory over the St. Louis Blues 4-3 last night at T-Mobile. With the OT winner, Marchessault extended his points streak with his 5th goal and 5 assists in the last 7 games. The VGK top line […]
Knights on Ice — Hockey Hangover Vegas-Style
It should come as no surprise that there might have been a slight playoff hangover for the VGK. This could account for last night’s result, especially when their opponent was the Arizona Coyotes who have never beaten the VGK. Did they overlook Arizona, knowing they’d beaten them four times this season? I can tell you […]
