In last night’s game, the two points that were up for grabs between Vegas and Florida would have made headlines, not only in Las Vegas, but in 30 other NHL cities, had they been posted to the right team—the VGK. With a win in regulation, the two points would make the Knights the #1 team […]

Knights on Ice — From Not Deserving To Deservin...
In the Golden Knights’ last three games, the swings of emotions, particularly disappointment and sheer amazement, have been on the menu. Their first game from their week off against Edmonton was a game they didn’t deserve the one point they were awarded. They looked slow and disorganized. In the following game versus Nashville, which opened […]
Knights on Ice — A Game They Deserved To Win
In their previous game Saturday night at T-Mobile against Edmonton, the Knights stole a point in their OT loss. They just weren’t in sync and I’m sure some will attribute that to the fact that they had a week off and needed a game to get their legs back under them. In last night’s game, they clearly deserved to […]
Knights on Ice — Rust or McDavid? You Decide!
Was it the five-day break that had the Knights appear like they were always one step behind? Or was it the unbelievable speed of Connor McDavid? If McDavid had been an automobile, he would have been pulled over for speeding multiple times last night. His display of speed also came on the second night of […]
Knights on Ice — My Wife and My Girlfriend Part...
Those who have been following my blog know about my lifetime marriage to my wife, a.k.a. the New York Rangers, and my new girlfriend, a.k.a. the Vegas Golden Knights. Their first meeting on October 31 back in New York City was a confusing night for me. How do I handle my love for the Rangers and not […]
Knights on Ice — Good Bounce-Back Win
Last night’s game was a rollercoaster of momentum swings for both teams. Vegas returned to their first-period dominance, with team speed that at this point of the season isn’t a surprise to any of other 30 teams in the league. The Knights dominated the first 18 minutes with goals by Alex Tuch (9) and Jonathan […]
Knights on Ice — Speed Kills Win Streak
For most of 2017 and their first game vs. Nashville last Tuesday, the Vegas Golden Knights pretty much dictated the pace of their games. Their speed caught unsuspecting teams flat-footed and before they knew what hit them, they trailed early and often, especially at T-Mobile Arena where the VGK are almost unbeatable, particularly in the […]
Knights on Ice — Just Say NO: But How Can You W...
VGK Coach Gallant wants his players to say “NO” to any talk about the playoffs. He insists that they look ahead and prepare for only their next game. But it’s his players who must follow this order. We, on the other hand, aren’t bound by this team edict. How can we not talk, think, and […]
NYE Party Hats
The hat is a piece of paraphernalia that’s associated with New Year’s Eve and most revelers wear all kinds of hats in which to ring in the new year. In yesterday’s Vegas Golden Knights game, a hat was worn that not only looked good with the green and gold, but it was also the first […]
Knights on Ice — Two Goalies, Five Stanley Cups...
All of the above played significant roles in Thursday night’s game between the number-one team in the entire Western Conference, your Vegas Golden Knights, and the second-place team in the Pacific Division, the L.A. Kings. The Kings are chasing the VGK for a superior playoff position. Yes, we’re now, as early as December, talking about playoff seeding. […]
