The night that was expected to be the barometer on how this series would play out went as badly as it could have for the Golden Knights. This was especially true in the first seven minutes of the first period, in which Vegas surrender the same number of goals they allowed in the entire L.A. […]

Knights on Ice — Fleury and His Three Friends P...
Marc Andre Fleury, who has been the rock in nets for the Knights during the first two rounds of the playoffs, had three friends join him tonight in eliminating the San Jose Sharks in Game 6 by a score of 3-0. For Fleury, it was yet another series-clinching shutout victory, his fourth in just 10 games. Marc Andre’s […]
Knights on Ice — Calm Before The Storm
When the SS Gallant left the dock last night, it had three new crew members and the seas were calm. The new crew members, who helped beat the San Jose Sharks 5-3 in Game 5 or Round 2, were a result of a less than stellar fishing trip that the Knights embarked on in Game […]
Knights on Ice — Keeping Up With The Joneses
How often, in hockey, do you hear the phrase “keeping up with the Joneses”? It usually refers to the struggle to maintain your daily responsibilities, while keeping pace with your neighbors, who for simplicity sake we call the Joneses. But in last night’s game, Martin Jones was the better goaltender. Yes, in no games of the Knights’ […]
Knights on Ice — The Game with Multiple Story L...
The first story line is that a few VGK fans might be scheduling EKGs with their doctors today to make sure there was no lasting damage to their hearts from last night’s game. Those whose heart rate didn’t flutter a few times in Vegas’ 4-3 win over the San Jose Sharks have nerves of steel […]
Knights on Ice — An Interfering Night for the K...
Just when nothing seemed to interfere with this team’s improbable mission, along came a game that seriously challenged its unimaginable path. Having two goaltender interference calls in one game is extraordinary, but for both to go against the VGK is almost unheard of. Vegas also sent a parade of players to the penalty box — […]
Knights on Ice — All-You-Can-Eat Sushi
Normally, my posts are about hockey. But last night at T-Mobile, it was AYCE sushi. Actually, there was only one menu item — Shark. And it was chopped up and consumed early and often by the Vegas Golden Knights. The VGK feasted on the San Jose Sharks in the first game of the second round […]
Knights on Ice — “THERE’S NO WAY”
“There’s no way they’re going to be a better team than us by the end of the season,” insisted Drew Doughty on December 28, 2017, immediately following a game that Vegas won in L.A. Doughty scored a goal late in the 3rd period to tie the game and send it into overtime. The VGK win came when David […]
Knights on Ice — A Lot Of Heart Makes It 3-0
This team is such a pleasure to watch. They can and will play whatever kind of game is presented to them. They just don’t blink. Last night, the L.A. Kings had to play better than they did in the first two games. The only reason the first two games were even close was Jonathan Quick, […]
Knights on Ice — Not So Quick
Ninety-five minutes and 23 seconds, that’s what it took to decide the winner of Game 2 of this opening round of the 2017-2018 NHL playoff series, in which the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the L.A. Kings 2-1. A hockey game’s normal playing time is 60 minutes, but when you have two world-class goaltenders in the nets, 60 […]
