To nullify something means to make it invalid or ineffective. Last night, Ottawa Senators’ goaltender Anders Nilsson almost single-handedly nullified the VGK, making them invalid and ineffective, even at T-Mobile, where the VGK have dominated for the past two seasons. Somehow Vegas managed to escape with a 3-2 shootout win over the Senators to avoid losing 2 games […]

Knights on Ice — Some Consistency and No Consis...
“In hockey, the biggest adversity you face is consistency. It’s hard to show up every night. It’s something as a hockey player you struggle with a bit, so it’s on us to be able to perform every night, and we weren’t performing tonight.” – Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault As Eddie Rivkin pointed out in […]

Sunday is a special day for a lot of people — a day of rest in which families spend quality time together. There was no rest for Marc-André Fleury, however, who was playing in back-to-back games, his 3rd game in 4 nights, as he replaced Malcolm Subban after the first period in Arizona on Thursday. For […]
Knights on Ice — Angry Knights
“We played angry,” Mark Stone said about the mindset of the team last night. “We don’t like losing two games in a row [against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday and Arizona Coyotes on Thursday]. We didn’t play the way we normally play, and we got jumped right from the get-go. We didn’t change anything [Saturday]. […]
Knights on Ice — From 2-0 to 2-2
Knights on Ice — From 2-0 to 2-2 Just last week, the VGK were riding high off back-to-back victories over division-rival San Jose Sharks, despite losing Cody Eakin and Alex Tuch before the season even started, then losing Nate Schmidt early in the first period on opening night. Then there was their less-than-stellar performance against […]
Knights on Ice — A Close Game
I wrote the title of this blog, of course, with tongue in cheek; last night’s game could not have been any further apart in effort and determination between two teams who in the last two seasons both appeared in, and lost, the Stanley Cup Final. When you look at the score of 4-3 and the […]
Knights on Ice — Déjà Vu All Over Again
Contributed by Eddie Rivkin The VGK got totally dominated by the Sharks last night … in the faceoff circle. LOL. Oh, and they got outshot too. Neither of those facts really mean much of anything, as I’m sure you well know. Please forgive me for the bad attempt at shock value. As for the game […]
Knights on Ice — Lots of Number Ones Last Night
Last night you had an abundance of the #1 all over T-Mobile: Cody Glass, the 1st draft pick in VGK franchise history when he was selected 6th overall in the 2017 NHL draft, played his 1st NHL game and scored his 1st NHL goal on his 1st shot ever taken in the NHL. Fleury gave up only 1 goal in […]
Knights on Ice — Kane And Unable
Cain and Abel were the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain was a farmer who offered a portion of his crops to God, while his brother Abel was a shepherd whose offering of the fattest portion of his herd seemed to please God more. Cain eventually killed Abel over this. Ironically, Cain was […]
Knights on Ice — A Insignificant Loss Turns int...
These preseason games are really insignificant, their only purpose to help the coaching staff formulate what small changes will happen for the beginning of the regular season, which is when wins and losses matter. Granted, the VGK won the first four of their seven preseason games, but there were no horns blowing or chests pumping. […]
