For the fifth straight game, your VGK found the back of the net only twice, bringing their record to a disappointing one win in five games. Last night they lost their third in a row, falling to the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2. In all 82 of their games during the 2017-2018 season, Vegas never lost more than […]

Knights on Ice — Is There a Problem?
Losing last night to the defending Stanley Cup Champions Washington Capitals by a score of 5-2, the Vegas Golden Knights are now 1-3 and have lost two games in a row. Last year after four games, they were 3-1. So far this season, Vegas has scored just two goals in each of their games for […]
Knights on Ice — Too Many Defensive Miscues
The Buffalo Sabres have finished in last place three of the previous five seasons and haven’t made the playoffs in the last seven years. So far this season, they haven’t scored any even-strength goals. The Sabres scored two goals total in their first two games, both on the power play in their second game against […]
Knights on Ice — Just In The Max Of Time
It’s a good thing hockey games are 60 minutes long, or in tonight’s case, 65 minutes plus a shootout. It took the Vegas Golden Knights more than 58 minutes to get a puck behind Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk, who stopped the first 37 shots Vegas launched at him. He eventually stopped 41 of 42 […]
Knights on Ice — Too Soft, Too Slow, Too ...
“Too soft, too slow, and too much room,” said coach Gerard Gallant when he was asked in his post-game presser how the Philadelphia Flyers not only won the game 5-2, but dominated his team for the final 50 minutes in front of a crowd of 18,555 at T-Mobile Arena. Yes, the VGK did feed off […]
Knights on Ice — Fleury’s Wall Shortchanges the...
The wall that went up last year remains strong and tall. Even if they are preseason games, the Fleury Wall has surrendered two goals in the last two. Both came while his team was shorthanded. The other four times that the Golden Knights were shorthanded in last night’s game, they scored three goals, winning by […]
The T-Mobile Power Play
Last night at the first hockey game at T-Mobile since June 7, 2018, it seemed like the 17,567 VGK fans never left the building and had been camped out for three-plus months just waiting for this game. Their passion for this team and for hockey was just as strong at last night’s pre-season game as […]
A Lot Has Changed
Just three weeks ago, I wrote what I thought we could expect from the VGK for the 2018-2019 season. A lot has changed since then—some of it not so good and some that raises expectations. First, just a few days before training camp starts, defenseman Shea Theodore hasn’t been signed. Combined with the unexpected 20-game […]
Knights on Ice — What Can We Expect in 2018-201...
We were all privileged to experience a moment in sports history that will remain with us forever. The Vegas Golden Knights accomplished just about everything they possibly could have and more. They fell just three games short of completing the impossible — winning the Stanley Cup in their first year. So what can we hope […]
Knights on Ice — 4 for 4
The 2017-2018 NHL season ended on June 7, 2018, when the Washington Capitals defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Vegas was just three victories short of doing the impossible. But nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever diminish what this season meant, not only to the VGK […]
