The VGK ended their 56-game season last night with a complete 60-minute domination of the San Jose Sharks. The final score was 6-0. But the battle for the top spot in the Honda West Division is out of their hands. Yes, they still lead Colorado by 2 points and tonight’s final game for Colorado will […]

Knights on Ice — “If You Guys Want To Talk abou...
Those exact words were basically Pete DeBoer’s last statement to the media in his post-game presser before he abruptly left the table. And who could blame him? His team played their heart out and came up 1 goal short of clinching the Honda West Division by a score of 2-1. If they’d won last night’s […]
Knights on Ice – Nolo Contendere, Or in V...
Nolo contendere is a legal term that comes from the Latin phrase for “I do not wish to contend.” It’s also referred to as a legal plea of no contest. In Las Vegas, it’s called “no call, no show” when you fail to show up for your scheduled work shift without calling in, which will usually […]

I know last night’s game caused you to hyperventilate a little, or in some cases, a lot. But if you know the history between these 2 teams, especially at T-Mobile, it’s never over till it’s over. Once again, a multi-goal lead disappeared and the VGK came storming back. A late 2nd-period goal by Alec Martinez […]
Knights on Ice — Only His 5th, But a Big One
The expectations for Alex Pietrangelo upon his arrival to Las Vegas as a free agent prior to the start of this season were immense. Multiple VGK players were moved in the off season to allow Vegas to be under the cap for Pietrangelo’s $8.8 million salary over the next 7 years. Nate Schmidt was traded to Vancouver and […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Starts the Game Short and ...
Once again, the VGK could not assemble a full contingent of players last night in a game that very well may be the reason they don’t finish in first in the Honda West Division. They started the game with only 11 forwards dressed, as Max Pacioretty, the team’s leading goal scorer, was held out for […]
Knights on Ice — One Streak Ended, Another Cont...
On Friday night the VGK’s 10-game winning streak ended when the boys pretty much mailed in their performance with a 3-0 loss to a team that is clearly not as good as they are. The VGK Top Guns were nowhere to be found on Friday. Well, last night was a completely different story. Mark “Long […]
Knights on Ice — So Did the VGK Look Past Arizo...
I’m not really sure if the VGK mailed this one in last night against Arizona or if it was a pure case of emotional letdown following a critical and emotional win against Colorado at T-Mobile on Wednesday. There was no miracle 3rd period comeback that we have gotten used to. As a matter of fact, […]

Who exactly are the top guns for the Golden Knights? I’ve listed them in alphabetical order so no one can accuse me of who I think is more important to the success of this team. All 3 of these players bring something special to the mission of this team and last night’s mission was a […]

Last night the VGK beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-1 at the Honda Center in Anaheim for their 9th win in a row, a franchise record. But they might have paid a costly price in the process. Coming into last night’s game, the VGK were down 3 forwards, all due to injuries: Reilly Smith, Keegan Kolesar, […]
