Asking you to remember where you were 29 months ago is a tall order. But here’s a hint: The coach of the San Jose Sharks on that day was Pete DeBoer and the Sharks beat the VGK 2-1 in overtime on a goal by Logan Couture. That was the last time San Jose beat the […]

Pete DeBoer Says One Thing, Does Another, Then...
If you listened to head coach Pete DeBoer following the devastating loss to the NJ Devils on Monday night, you and anyone with ears would have penciled in Logan Thompson as the starting goaltender for the last 5 games of the season. Under normal circumstances, Pete never throws any of his players under the bus, […]
Theory vs. Reality: The Story No One Wants To H...
Theoretically, the VGK still have a chance to make the playoffs. In reality, they will not. And for the 18,077 who painfully watched the most devastating loss in franchise history, it was ugly. Real ugly. The score, 3-2 in favor of the NJ Devils, might make you think it was a nail-biter. Nothing could be […]

Missed Opportunity
The VGK had a golden opportunity in Edmonton to leapfrog over the L.A. Kings for the final playoff spot in the Pacific Division. They were coming off an impressive showing in their 6-1 win over Calgary in the Saddledome, a barn where they normally have trouble winning. The stage was set. The VGK had a […]
PDB Goes to the Bullpen and the VGK Respond wit...
Last night, Pete DeBoer used his coaching philosophy that many VGK fans despised when he deployed it in the Edmonton playoff bubble in the summer of 2020. His philosophy is to play those that give the team the best chance of winning. In Edmonton, he pretty much decided that Robin Lehner gave his team a […]
DeBoer Claims There’s No Quit in This Team, But...
For the first time this season after playing 73 of an 82-game season, the VGK took the ice in Vancouver with their playoff destiny in their own hands. That had not been the case prior, as they trailed the L.A. Kings and had played more games. But with their win against Arizona Saturday at T-Mobile […]
Max Patches Things up, Brayden And Zach Do the ...
The VGK are broken; that’s no secret. They have been since opening night on Oct. 12, 2021, when William Carrier, Mattias Janmark, and Alex Tuch were not able to play. By their 3rd game, they’d also lost Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty. This is not breaking news by any means, but last night, a big […]
Did VGK Get What They Deserved?
Did you expect what you and the other 18,113 had to endure last night at T-Mobile? I know I wasn’t anticipating a team that is fighting for their playoff lives turn in an uninspiring, bordering on an embarrassing, effort in their 5-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Their playoff hopes seemed to take a turn […]
The Pacific Northwest Has Been Berry Berry Good...
Chico Escuela was a fictional baseball player from the Dominican Republic. Portrayed by Garrett Morris on “Saturday Night Live.” Chico spoke only limited and halting English, so the joke centered on him responding to almost any question with his catch phrase: “Baseball … been berry berry good … to me.” Well, the Pacific Northwest has […]
