The title of my last post after the Golden Knights 3-2 OT win against Arizona was “Not So Fast.” I wrote that this team has played one good game followed by a stinker for most of this season. They hadn’t won two games in a row in more than a month. But yesterday, they seemed, […]

Knights on Ice — Not So Fast
Yes. Last night, the Knights won and salvaged their short three-game road trip by winning two of their three games with their 3-2 OT win over the Coyotes in Arizona. But until they start stringing together well-played games back to back and lose the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality they’ve shown us 23 games into […]
Knights on Ice — Flames Score a Touchdown While...
It was a strange night in professional sports; I went outside twice just to see if there was a full moon or something. In the Monday Night Football game, the L.A. Rams and Kansas City Chiefs scored a total of 105 points, third highest point total in NFL history. The final score, 54-51, was more […]
Knights on Ice — Schmidt Happens
Their first 20 games this season were without Nate Schmidt. Number 88 didn’t contribute to the offensive outburst or register a point in last night’s game in Edmonton. Eight other VGK players did in their 6-3 victory against the Oilers. But Schmidt’s presence was noticed on the ice, on the bench, and in the locker […]
Knights on Ice — Friday Night Blues
The only thing that’s consistent with the Golden Knights so far this season is inconsistency, and believe it or not, we’re nearly 25% through the 82-game season. The VGK record for their first 20 games is 8-11-1 and 17 points. Tonight’s debacle came at the hands of St. Louis. The Blues outskated, outworked, and outscored […]
Vegas Golden Knights — A New Kind Of Golden
In a season that has been disappointing for the most part, something had to give. Last night was a good time to change it up, when Fleury broke out a brand new pair of pads, golden ones at that, along with a matching gold blocker and gold glove. It seemed to work as Vegas, playing […]
Knights on Ice — When Is It Time To Really Wor...
After yesterday’s beatdown of the VGK at the hands of the Boston Bruins by a score of 4-1, I know many of you are dazed, confused, frustrated, and second-guessing your team. It’s no secret that Malcolm Subban had a bad game yesterday. He looked completely lost on Boston’s second goal, a gift for Jeremy Lauzon that […]
Knights on Ice — Bon Retour, Max
The Montreal Canadians did their best to welcome back Max Pacioretty to Montreal, a city that was the only home Max knew as an NHL player for 10 years prior to being traded to the Vegas Golden Knights right before the start of the season. But the end result of what could have been a […]
Knights on Ice — Two Goals, Two Assists, Nine H...
The Golden Knights #1A line of Bellemare, Carrier, and Reaves started the season as forwards ranked 10th, 11th, and 12th on the Vegas Golden Knights. Last night, they saved the game with two third-period goals that sparked Vegas to a 5-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on the road. They’ve shown that maybe, just maybe, the’re […]
Knights on Ice — Lost In Skates
“Lost in Space” was an American science-fiction television series from 1965 to 1968. The 2018-2019 season so far for the Vegas Golden Knights seems like a medical-fiction television series that takes place at T-Mobile and various other NHL arenas. Tonight’s TV episode was a disappointing 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The two goals scored […]
