The title is a saying that fits perfectly vis a vis the outcome of last night’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Vegas woulda won if they’d kept up the pressure on a clearly tired team that played back-to-back games—and their match Saturday night in Arizona went into overtime. Vegas dominated the first period. Philly didn’t have a […]

Knights on Ice — 7,000 Miles and Six Games Late...
The VGK were coming off an emotional game in Pittsburgh, then flying 2,500 miles across the country after sitting on the team plane for over 2-1/2 hours on the tarmac because of a snowstorm delay. And they burned up so much fuel during the delayed takeoff that they had to stop to refuel in Ohio. […]
Knights on Ice — The Oreo-Cookie Dilemma
The hockey Oreo-cookie dilemma took place tonight in Pittsburgh ruining the homecoming for long-time Pittsburgh Penguin Marc Andre Fleury. The Oreo cookie is two goals by the VGK with five unanswered Pittsburgh goals in the second and third periods sandwiched between two late goals in the third period. Vegas came up one filling short of a cookie in game […]
Knights on Ice — Is There One More Trip To Was...
As you might know, the VGK visit Eastern Conference teams just once during the season, so yesterday’s meeting in Washington, D.C., is the only one that appears on the VGK schedule as of now. But let’s not forget that of the 16 teams that will qualify for the playoffs, one of them will win the […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Calling In
Ever since I moved to Las Vegas, I always found the term “calling in” kind of amusing, especially when it represents calling work to tell them you won’t be able to make it in that day. If you couldn’t show up for work, wouldn’t you be “calling out?” Last night, the VGK called in or […]
Knights on Ice — David 34:9, or the VGK Version...
All sports fans, especially football fans, are aware of the Bible verse John 3:16, which reads, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Well, VGK fans may also believe, not only in that verse, but in […]
Knights on Ice — Don’t Blink
In a game played in a glass-enclosed rink on an ice surface 200 feet long and 85 feet wide, with at least 10 players whose average height is 6’ 1″ and average weight is 204 pounds, these big guys are skating around at speeds in excess of 20 miles per hour. And that’s to say […]
Knights On Ice — Islanders Block the VGK From 1...
In a game that featured two of the highest scoring teams in the league, combined with a team that has given up a lot of goals against, the last score you’d think you’d see would be 2-1. But that was the final score of last night’s game, as the NY Islanders, who seem to always be involved […]
Knights on Ice — Make Your Ex See Red
We’ve all been there, men and women alike, jilted by lovers who feel they no longer need or want you around. It’s painful when this happens, of course. But then there always seems to come a time when you run into your ex, who can’t hide the disbelief that you’ve moved on and are feeling […]
Knights on Ice — Mount Gallant: Elevation 31-11...
The last time Gerard Gallant walked out of PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina, was on Nov. 27, 2016, the night he was fired as the head coach of the Florida Panthers after losing to the Carolina Hurricanes. Last night when he walked out of PNC Arena, his job was not only as secure as it could […]
