Minnesota didn’t need a lot of goals or much ice to beat the VGK last night by a score of 2-1 for the 2nd straight game. But all of a sudden, Vegas is in the midst of a 3-game losing streak, all at T-Mobile. Prior to these last 2 games and the 2nd game of […]

Knights on Ice — You Can Play Salary-Cap Gymnas...
The VGK’s salary-cap gymnastics over the last 2 seasons finally reared their ugly head last night in the heartbreaking 3-2 shootout loss at T-Mobile. It got to the point where they couldn’t put 18 players on the ice. I’m calling it heartbreaking, because Robin Lehner played his heart out, stopping 35 of the 37 shots […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Start off Short-Handed and...
The day started with the VGK having a completely healthy roster. Alex Pietrangelo returned to the team after missing the last 12 games due to an undisclosed injury that most believe was a hairline fracture after taking a slapshot to his upper body. But before Carnell “Golden Pipes” Johnson completed his usual inspiring rendition of […]

Once again, fresh off of a road trip, the VGK came out flat. It also happened when they returned to T-Mobile on March 15 from their 6-game road trip and last night they were a step behind the L.A. Kings for most of the first period. Robin Lehner was in net and Marc-André Fleury wasn’t […]
Knights on Ice — So Are You a Believer or a Dou...
I’m not sure you could be blamed if you were a doubter after the way the Colorado Avalanche manhandled the VGK in their last game on Thursday. But there’s no doubt in my mind that you became a believer when the game went to overtime and Max Pacioretty was on the ice. Max and the […]
Knights on Ice — Spanked, or Was It an Old-Fash...
It doesn’t matter what you call it. The VGK, who exploded for 3 goals on Monday night vs. St. Louis in the third period, had the Colorado Avalanche explode on them in the 2nd period with 4 goals and one more in the 3rd for a 5-1 win. Five unanswered goals against a team that […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Explode for 4 Goals in the...
The St. Louis Blues were in Las Vegas relaxing on Sunday, waiting for the VGK. The Knights had to play Sunday against the Kings in L.A., then had to jump on a plane and within 25 hours face the well-rested Blues at T-Mobile. For Vegas, it was also the 7th game in 11 day, while […]
Knights on Ice — One Tough Shift, Plus 51 secon...
The VGK lost yesterday to the L.A. Kings by a score of 3-1 and it was all because Dylan Coghlan gave the puck away 3 different times on the same shift. His inability to keep the puck on his stick and clear the zone allowed Sean Walker to score his first goal of the season […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Will Their Way To Beat L.A...
“Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Last night two Wills were needed to beat the L.A. Kings. William Karlsson scored the winning goal in the second period after the Kings wiped out the 2-goal lead that Max Pacioretty provided with his 2 goals in the first period. Then William Carrier added an insurance goal […]

Yesterday, St. Paddy’s Day, all over the country a lot of Jägermeister bombs were consumed in the honor of St. Patrick. Early research suggests that drinking Jägermeister in moderate amounts may be linked to a lower risk of strokes and other cardiovascular diseases. Well, the VGK have their own version of this; it’s called the […]
