In my last blog, I pretty much threw the entire team under the bus. I did mention that there was no miracle phone call that GM McPhee could make at the trade deadline or no magical line combinations that Coach Gallant could come up with that would save whatever is possibly left of this current […]

Knights on Ice —The Post That’s Been Sitting on...
I knew I’d be writing this post. It had to be written. But what took me so long to write it is still beyond belief. Last night’s embarrassing loss to Winnipeg by a score of 6-3 brought this piece to life. By all rights, it should have been written at some point during the Vegas […]
Knights on Ice — One Valuable Point Left Behind
With just 20 games left before the real season begins, will this one point that Vegas left on the ice last night at T-Mobile in their 3-2 shootout loss be a concern? I would love to say it will, but by the looks of things, the VGK will be opening the playoffs on the road […]
Knights on Ice — Is This Season a Version of th...
Who doesn’t like a roller coaster? No matter your age, it’s just about everyone’s highlight of the day at an amusement park. Unless you’re a VGK fan, you’re driven completely bonkers with the Space Mountain-type of a rollercoaster that this team seems to be on more often than they should this season. You see, Space […]
Knights on Ice—Finally, a Big Win
[Editor’s Note: Joe Pane is unavailable to post his blog this morning, so this is a brief recap of last night’s game.] Last nights’ game was a shot fest for the Golden Knights, who registered 50 shots on goal in their 5-1 win against the Nashville Predators. Of the game’s 18 VGK skaters, so many […]
Knights on Ice — A “Road Loss” for the VGK
This seemed to be a road game for the VGK, as there were plenty of fans in blue-and-white Toronto sweaters making their voices heard throughout the night. And those fans had a lot to be happy about, as the VGK went down to their fifth loss in a row, a team record, by a score of […]
Knights on Ice — “NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS&#...
I covered this team for 82 games last season, along with 20 playoff games. Add to that the 58 games of the 2018-2019 season and in 160 games total, I’ve never seen Coach Gallant as pissed off as I did in his post-game presser last night following the VGK’s 5-2 loss to the Arizona Coyotes […]
Knights on Ice — 12 vs. 10, plus a Couple of St...
When Coach Gallant stops rolling out four lines one right after another, you know something is wrong. Last night, Gallant did something he’d never done in the VGK’s 140 regular-season and 20 playoff games: He played only 10 forwards for the entire third period. The Blue Jackets continued with four complete lines that consisted of […]
Knights on Ice — 29 For 29
Last night, Marc André Fleury recorded his league-leading 29th win of the season in his 48th game played in the VGK 4-3 win over Detroit. Last season, the Flower had 29 wins for the entire season when he played in just 46 games due to an injury suffered against the same Detroit Red Wings on Friday Oct. […]
Knights on Ice — Despite The War Room, Facing t...
Despite all of this, the VGK overcame a 2-0 deficit by scoring two unanswered goals in regulation and one in the shootout to defeat Tampa Bay, the number-one team in the NHL, 3-2 and snap a franchise-record four-game losing streak. Vegas outshot Tampa 6-0 in the overtime. It should also be noted that my theory, that […]
