Yesterday’s 3-2 win was against the Anaheim Ducks, a team that just over a month ago was ahead of Vegas in the Pacific Division. That was then, this is now, and the Knights have won five games in a row. They’re 16-3-3 in their last 22 games, while Anaheim has lost seven games in a […]

Knights on Ice — A Very Pirri New Year
The new year is only a day young, but things are just like they were in 2018, especially for Brandon Pirri who keeps scoring goals game after game. Last night he scored his 6th goal in 7 games and his 9th goal in just 9 games as a VGK. His goal last night was the game winner […]
Knights on Ice—Play Hard, Play Quick, No Mistak...
The words in the title could be said by a coach to his players before they hit the ice, but Jonathan Marchessault isn’t the coach. He’s not even the captain. But he is for sure one of the leaders of the first-place VGK. That’s right: first place. And not just first place in the Pacific […]
Knights on Ice — Finally
Finally, Malcolm Subban gets a win and with this win, the Vegas Golden Knights become the last of the 31 NHL teams to have a win credited to their backup goaltender. Truth be told, this should have happened sooner; in the prior five games Subban started, Vegas scored only six goals total. He played well enough […]
Knights on Ice — Siegfried and Roy, Copperfield...
Las Vegas is known for having some of the world’s best illusionists. Siegfried and Roy, who made elephants and tigers disappear right before your eyes, are probably the most famous, though they’re followed closely by David Copperfield, who not only disappeared the Statue of Liberty disappear in New York Harbor, he poofed away a jet […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Head into Christmas Break ...
Bad breaks happen; they’re part of playing sports. But recently the VGK seem to be on the wrong side of everything that could possibly go wrong. Last night they kissed away another valuable point away to their division rival L.A. Kings in their 4-3 loss at T-Mobile. Just like Saturday’s game against Montreal, this one […]
Knights on Ice — C’est Ce Que CR...
When you believe “it is what it is” in Montreal or any French-speaking country, you’ll hear “C’est ce que c’est.” As a fan, there was nothing you could have done about the events that transpired at T-Mobile in the overtime loss the VGK suffered to the Montreal Canadiens by a score of 4-3. Unfortunately, a […]
Knights on Ice — Down by Two Goals? No Problem!
In a gutty come-from-behind performance, the VGK spotted the New York Islanders two goals just 1:08 apart late in a first period that was dominated by Vegas for the first 18:30. The second goal came with just 22 seconds left in the period. Giving up a goal late in a period is often crushing to […]
Knights on Ice — 6 For 5 Equals Zero
In Las Vegas, you should always avoid any blackjack tables that pay 6-5 for natural blackjacks; you’ll eventually go broke playing at these tables. And If you’re the backup goaltender for the Vegas Golden Knights and your team has scored just six goals in the five games you’ve started, you’ll have zero wins. It’s just […]
Knights on Ice—USA Versus Sweden
You’ve waited for 31 games for the USA line of Pacioretty and Tuch, centered by Stastny, to finally have all three of them healthy enough to play together. Yesterday, we were treated to GM George McPhee’s vision, once he decided that letting James Neal and David Perron leave via free agency was better for the […]
