With yesterday’s win, the VGK took a complete stranglehold on this series. Teams achieving a 3-0 lead […]

The VGK started yesterday with bad news, but ended it in dramatic fashion when Reilly Smith scored at 7:13 of overtime for the 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks and a commanding 2-game lead in the best-of-7 series.

The VGK’s smallest player is Jonathan Marchessault. As a matter of fact, he was the smallest player on the ice last night for either team. But you’d never know it based on his tenacity and the fact that he plays like he is 6′ 4” and weighs 240 pounds and takes no shit from anyone. […]

Everyone in TV-viewing age who was alive 51 years ago remembers exactly where they were on the day that we heard Neil Armstrong’s words when he took his first step onto the moon: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Every VGK fan will remember where they were when Alex […]

I have a tendency to begin writing these blogs in my head as the game progresses. I can tell you that during yesterday’s game, I had four different posts starting and stopping. The VGK’s 6-4 win over the defending Stanley Cup Champions had more twists and turns than a soft pretzel covered with spicy mustard. […]

Potpourri is a French word that describes a mixture of dried fragrant plant materials, used to provide a gentle natural scent, commonly in residential settings. It’s often placed in a decorative bowl. Yesterday, VGK Coach Peter DeBoer placed his own version of hockey’s newest scent of potpourri on a slab of ice instead of in a […]
Knights on Ice — 2020, the Year of the Blur
Prior to this year when you heard “twenty-twenty,” your first inclination was probably that it referred to someone’s good vision and ability to see clearly. Now when you hear 2020, lots of thoughts immediately come to mind and they are, for the most part, not pleasant. For Vegas Golden Knights fans, the year 2020 was […]
Knights on Ice — Amazing If I May SHEA So
Shea Theodore waited for 62:13 of a 60-minute game for the VGK to finally take the lead in a game they never led. His goal in OT defeated the 2nd place Edmonton Oilers by a score of 3-2. Vegas now leads the Pacific Division by 3 points and even if Edmonton wins their one game in […]

Coming off a team-wide disappointing performance in Winnipeg on Friday night, the VGK responded early in the first period, then had to dig deep and score twice in the final 1:10 to win a game they led at one time by a score of 3-0. Shea Theodore scored from a near-impossible angle when his shot […]

Yes, last night the VGK lost to a desperate Winnipeg Jet team 4-0. The Jets are fighting for their playoff lives. Last night the Jets were the better team, no question about that. Are they a better team overall? Not a chance. But when you look at social media and read some Twitter comments from […]
