Among the Golden Knights, there seemed to be a case of food coma last night—from the huge meals that have become an unhealthy tradition this time of year. At least during the first period, anyway, which are usually strong for the VGK, catching most teams by surprise. In the first 20 minutes of last night’s game […]

Knights on Ice — Santa Has Already Come To Town
There’s no other explanation as to what’s going on at T-Mobile –other than Santa is filling Christmas stockings with one Vegas Golden Knights gift after another. Back-to-back Stanley Cup champions Pittsburgh Penguins come to town and Santa put some coal in their stockings, sending them packing with a loss. Adding insult to injury, former Penguins’ […]
The Beast of the East Meets the Best of the Wes...
Last night was a night of all Knights, a night that had the T-Mobile arena rocking. The crowd was treated to a game, against the Tampa Bay Lightning, that many will remember for a long time. Myself, I was with my good friend Denise, who was attending her first-ever NHL game, and sitting on my other […]
Knights on Ice — 21 In Las Vegas
Getting a 21 is what everyone strives for in Las Vegas. Coach Gallant likes every win for which he’s behind the bench, but last night’s win, which brought the VGK record to 21-9-2, is a special kind of 21. Not to mention that the VGK owns an astounding record at home of 13-2-1. The reason it’s so […]
When Two (ex-)Penguins Are Better than 20 Pengu...
On Tuesday night, the hockey gods sprinkled some misfortune on the Golden Knights in their game against Carolina when two former VGK players scored their very first goals of the season to beat the Knights and end their winning streak. On Thursday night at T-Mobile, the hockey gods bestowed the good fortune on Vegas and just […]
Knights on Ice — Two Former Knights Ruin Fleury...
Yes, I know what you’re thinking: How can there be two former Golden Knights when this is the team’s first season? It seems unlikely for this to actually have happened, but it did. Both the goals that were scored in Tuesday’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes were scored by Marcus Kruger and Trevor Van Riemsdyk, […]
Knights on Ice — Another Homecoming
As I wrote in my last post, Friday’s game at Nashville featured a Subban family reunion of sorts. Brothers PK and Malcolm played against each other for the first time in front of their dad, who was along for two games on the road on an NHL-tradition “Dad Trip.” James Neal also was in the […]
Knights on Ice — Family Ties
This game was a lot like what often happens around the holidays when families get together. You just never know what the night will bring. The VGK were hosting a new tradition that most teams have adopted over the last few years in the NHL. The “Dad Trip” encourages fathers of the players to accompany […]
Knights on Ice — Wounded Ducks versus the Never...
The wounded Anaheim Ducks, missing four key players in their lineup, have lost six of their last seven games. They also couldn’t play the entire game. The Mighty Ducks they weren’t, the lazy ducks they were. Even so, the VGK took the second period off. That isn’t the way they play and it almost cost them […]
Knights on Ice — No Coyote Problem In Las Vegas
Actually, Las Vegas does have a coyote problem and has for years, due to the constant development of new and ever-expanding residential areas previously only occupied by non-humans. Coyotes don’t pose a threat to humans, but they do feast on small dogs and cats. My community is in the middle of a golf course and […]
