When you think of medieval times, you can’t help but think of kings and knights. Usually, the kings and knights are on the same team. Last night, the only thing that the L.A. Kings and Vegas Golden Knights shared was the 200 feet by 85 feet of ice surface of T-Mobile Arena. Truth be told, the VGK […]

Knights on Ice — Bad Rehearsal, Strong Performa...
A well-known saying in showbiz holds that bad rehearsals lead to strong performances. Well, for the VGK, I hope this is true, because last night’s final game of the season was pretty bad. As a matter of fact, it might have been the only game of the 82-game season that the VGK were totally unprepared and looked totally uninterested […]
Knights on Ice — Three out of Four
Only one team can say they’ve beaten the VGK three out of four games this year: the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers won last night’s game 4-3, dashing any hopes of the VGK capturing the President’s Trophy, awarded to the team with the most points for the season. Even so, Vegas’ probability of winning it this […]
Knights on Ice — Pirri Takes Advantage
Last night’s game had no real significance for the VGK, as they close out the last three games of their inaugural season. They’ve already clinched the Pacific Division, while their chance of catching Nashville for the Western Conference lead seems almost unreachable. Nashville leads Vegas by 6 points, 113 to 107. Vegas would have to […]
Knights on Ice — 58 to 1
Most who see the title of this will immediately think that I somehow are referencing that the VGK were 58 to 1 to win the Pacific Division or maybe they were 58 to 1 to make the playoffs. Nothing could be further from the truth. You see, back on October 5, a day before the Vegas Golden […]
Knights on Ice — 22 Skidoo
Yes, just 22 seconds into overtime, Jonathan Marchessault scored his second goal of the game, propelling the VGK to a victory over the St. Louis Blues 4-3 last night at T-Mobile. With the OT winner, Marchessault extended his points streak with his 5th goal and 5 assists in the last 7 games. The VGK top line […]
Knights on Ice — Hockey Hangover Vegas-Style
It should come as no surprise that there might have been a slight playoff hangover for the VGK. This could account for last night’s result, especially when their opponent was the Arizona Coyotes who have never beaten the VGK. Did they overlook Arizona, knowing they’d beaten them four times this season? I can tell you […]
Knights on Ice — X Vegas, Baby!
When you now look at the standings in the NHL, you will now see an X next to Vegas in the standings. The X is what Coach Gallant refused to talk about for the first 75 games of the season. His face turned red if he heard his players even mentioning that word. The word […]
Knights on Ice — Two Strong Performances, but O...
The last two games for the VGK really showed how strong and deep they are in the goaltending department. After Malcolm Subban’s stellar performance on Thursday in San Jose, yesterday Marc Andre Fleury was back in the lineup after missing one game due to an undisclosed injury. He looked so sharp that like Subban, Fleury kept the […]
Knights on Ice — A Defining Game
There are games in a player’s career that are defining moments, though 99.9% of the time, the player is on the winning side of this moment that will always be remembered as a highlight of their entire career. One defining moment that I personally was in attendance for occurred in game 6 of the 1994 Eastern […]
