Coach Gallant called the game against the Islanders on Wednesday night “not pretty.” Well, last night’s game against the New Jersey Devils was ugly and no one could or would give you an argument about that. Twice the VGK blew three-goal leads in their 5-4 overtime loss. Not only the result was totally unacceptable, but […]

Knights on Ice — It Wasn’t a Pretty Game...
In the words of Gerard Gallant, “It wasn’t a pretty game,” but I’m sure that he, along with the team, will take last night’s win of 3-2 over the New York Islanders in Brooklyn and move on to the next game. Yes, a lot seemed out of sync in last night’s game. First was the […]
Knights on Ice — A Much Needed Bounce Back
In light of what happened against the L.A. Kings on Saturday and with only one home game before embarking on a week-long road trip, it was imperative to right the ship and not leave town on a downer. The VGK did exactly what was needed by defeating the Dallas Stars by a final score of […]
Knights on Ice—“Embarrassing and a Lack of Emot...
No, I’m not calling the VGK’s Saturdays afternoon performance vs. the L.A. Kings embarrassing or one that lacked emotion. Those were Drew Doughty words about himself, his team, and their season following their last game against the NJ Devils. But I wouldn’t get much pushback from anyone if I did use Drew’s words to describe the […]
Knights on Ice — An Expected Let Down That They...
Many hockey pundits wondered if the VGK’s emotional win on Tuesday night against the Washington Capitals might have an impact in last night’s game. The Chicago Blackhawks are in the midst of a letdown of their own this season. Chicago came into the game having lost their last five games and seven of the last 10. […]
Knights on Ice — No Magnanimity from Reaves and...
To be magnanimous, one is generous in forgiving, free from resentfulness or vindictiveness. Last night, the Vegas Golden Knights, in particular Nate Schmidt and Ryan Reaves, offered none of that. Actually, they went out of their way to avoid such behavior. In fact, blood, sweat, and tears marked the Stanley Cup rematch that the VGK won 5-3, thereby […]
Knights on Ice — The Oilers Forecheck and Bounc...
Yes, a simple bounce and a well-timed forecheck by the Edmonton Oilers ended the VGK’s 5-game winning streak, along with Marc-André Fleury’s personal 6-game streak in which he allowed only 8 goals prior to last night’s 2-1 loss. Fleury has been nothing less than spectacular in these last seven games and it’s the main reason […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Show Up at 7:30 for a 7 O’...
Even though the VGK were late for the start of this game, they managed to rebound twice to defeat Pacific Division rival Vancouver 4-3 to increase their dominance this season against teams in their division with an impressive 7-1-1 record. In their entire history, the VGK have have practically owned the Pacific Division with a […]
Knights on Ice — Can You Put Your Finger on Wha...
Last night I was invited to a VGK watch party hosted by Christopher of @Adore Oil. You might know him as the fan who sits behind the VGK bench in a VGK jersey and scarf, dances throughout the warm-ups, and is always shown on the Knight Tron. The VGK staff nicknamed him the Warmies Guy. Christopher […]
Knights on Ice — From Not So Fast to Slow and S...
Yes, vroom, the roaring sound made by a motor at high speed. The VGK engine is now running at high speed and last night, they ran over, through, and around the San Jose Sharks in the 6-0 victory that evened their record at 12-12-1 and put them just 3 points out of first place in […]
