Knights on Ice — Panda Stands Tall
Once again, Robin Lehner was the difference in the VGK’s 5-1-win last night in Ottawa. His 4-5 record in no way, shape, or form indicates how he’s playing. You might think losing 5 of 9 might be an indication of not being on top of his game. Other than the second game of the season […]
Knights on Ice — “We Didn’t Have Much. Th...
The VGK 3-game winning streak came to an abrupt end last night. Truthfully, it was over before they even broke a sweat. The VGK were totally outworked, outplayed, and seemingly uninterested in providing any jam in their 4-0 loss last night to Toronto across the border. They might have spent the last 3 days bonding […]
Knights on Ice — One Team Starts with No Legs, ...
Last night at T-Mobile, the VGK played the Anaheim Ducks, who were coming off an overtime defeat of 4-3 to the Buffalo Sabers in Anaheim. The Ducks had to storm back to erase a 3-0 lead that the Buffalo Sabers had over them on Thursday night. So it’s not surprising that with an early start […]
Knights on Ice — What A Knight
Hockey players are creatures of habit, especially on game days. They prepare exactly the same way game in and game out: morning skate, pre-game nap, pre-game meal. They show up to the rink at the same time. Most players even go so far as putting their equipment on in the same order. They just don’t […]
Knights on Ice — In a Gutsy Effort, VGK End The...
Last night, the VGK were bogged down in the middle of a 4-game losing Streak and facing off against the Colorado Avalanche, currently the favorite to hoist the Cup in late June 2022. The streak came to an end last night at Ball Center with a 3-1 VGK win in a sound defensive performance, unlike […]
Knights on Ice — “Obviously, It Stinks”
I didn’t come up with the title to this post. It’s from the man who is smack dab in the middle of this 4-game losing streak. Here’s the exact quote from Robin Lehner, following last night’s 2-0 loss to the NY Islanders at T-Mobile. “We’re NHL players, a very good team organization,” Lehner said. “Obviously, […]
Knights on Ice —Turnovers and Injuries Continue
The last-place VGK — yes, the pre-season favorites to dominate the Pacific Division who now sit at bottom of the division — aren’t helping themselves with their continuous defensive and neutral-zone turnovers. Those resulted in Edmonton’s 5-3 win at T-Mobile last night. Vegas has now lost 3 games in a row and their only victory […]
Knights on Ice — Just One Goal and Not Enough C...
When you only score 1 goal in a game in the NHL these days, you will most likely lose. Combine that with very little chaos and no matter how well your goaltender plays, it will be a disappointing night. Last night Robin Lehner was the best player for the VGK, but the lack of scoring […]
Knights on Ice — Two Old Men Ruin Everything
Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty are two of the oldest guys on the L.A. Kings roster. They’re so old that Drew Doughty actually referred to Kopitar and himself in that category post-game last night. Someone forgot to remind them that this is a young-man’s game. Outside the hockey world, Kopitar (34) and Doughty (just shy […]
