The dimensions of an NHL net are 6 feet wide and 4 feet tall, which is 24 square feet. Last night, there was a work of art, a Picasso if you will allow me some artistic interpretation, at both ends of the ice. With Marc-Andre Fleury in his 24 square feet, it’s not unusual for […]

Knights on Ice — Look Who Is No Longer Invisibl...
Who knew I could influence Shea Theodore? Not me. I mentioned after Friday night’s game that Shea Theodore was invisible and the VGK needed him if they were headed deep in the playoffs. He’s instrumental in the success of their power play along with Alex Pietrangelo. Well, last night Shea had the type of game […]
Knights on Ice — Just as Bad as a Check from Ev...
A lead in a St. Louis Blues vs. Vegas Golden Knights game is as bad as having a check written by Evander Kane. Both the lead in these games and a check from Kane never amount to much. Last night’s game was no different. The multi-goal leads added up to nothing after 60 minutes. For […]
Knights on Ice — Trash
Before you lose your lunch thinking that I’m calling the VGK performance last night “trash,” all I’m doing is quoting Mark Stone and his assessment of the team in their 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild. “We didn’t break the puck out well, we didn’t transition the puck well, we didn’t make proper plays in […]
Knights on Ice — The Missing $18.3 Million
Last night the VGK were missing $18.3 million worth of crucial players to their lineup and it showed in their 2-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild. Mark Stone and Alex Pietrangelo who were injured in Saturday’s game in San Jose did not play, even though Pete DeBoer claimed that Stone’s not returning to the game […]
Knights on Ice — Tuch It
Alex Tuch is on fire and Marc-Andre Fleury is smoking hot in the net. These two were instrumental in VGK’s 4-0 shutout of the San Jose Sharks last night at the SAP Center in San Jose. Vegas has 3 wins this season in 3 games at the SAP Center. The Sharks have just 2 home […]
Knights on Ice — Pacioretty Saves the VGK Once ...
Max Pacioretty’s goal, his 2nd of the game at 1:25 in overtime, saved the Golden Knights from what would have been a disastrous loss to the San Jose Sharks. It was Pacioretty 3rd winning OT goal this season as Vegas won the opening game of this back-to-back 2-game series 5-4. The VGK led 2-0 after […]
Knights on Ice — Tuch Picks Up Right Where He l...
On Monday night, Alex Tuch scored with just 42 seconds left in the game to erase a 2-goal 3rd period Minnesota lead at T-Mobile. Last night, he picked up right where he left off, scoring just 2:03 into the game for the lead that Vegas never relinquished in their 5-1 win over the Wild at […]
Knights on Ice — A Wild Storm in the Second Neu...
The Minnesota Wild created a fast-moving storm of goals in the 2nd period. Their first 2 goals came just 66 seconds apart and their 3rd and 4th goals just 19 seconds apart. Four goals in a period, especially the second, is a rarity for the Wild. Coming into the game Minnesota had a deficit of […]

The longest stretch pass allowed in the NHL is 125 feet. It covers the ice from the end boards to center ice, which is 100 feet, and the remaining 25 feet between the red line and the blue line. Anything longer than that would cause a whistle and a stoppage of play. Alex Pietrangelo’s pass […]
