If you’re a VGK fan, this seems like the season that Murphy’s Law was written for. In Murphy’s law, if there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Well, anything and everything that could have gone wrong this season […]

Trading Places — Who Won This Bet?
Trading Places is a 1983 American comedy film. The film tells the story of an upper-class commodities broker and a poor street hustler whose lives cross when they’re unwittingly made the subject of an elaborate bet to test how each man will perform when their life circumstances are swapped. Fast forward to the NHL version […]
One Goal Would and Should Have Been Good Enough
Last night, the VGK lost to the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1, for one reason and one reason only. Do you know the reason? I’ll leave this question open to those who suffered through this game that the VGK had no business losing. This is the second time this season that Philadelphia, at the bottom of the […]
Was There a Full Moon Last Night at T-Mobile?
A lot of things occurred last night that were out of the norm in the VGK 2-1 last-second victory over the Ottawa Senators, when Jack Eichel scored with 5.2 seconds left in the game. To amplify this abnormality, the last time the VGK scored a game-winning goal this late in a game that was not […]
DeBoer Pulls out the Blender and Whips the VGK ...
After their last game at T-Mobile against Boston, Jonathan Marchessault said, “Enough is enough.” Last night Pete DeBoer also had enough, but didn’t say anything out loud. Instead, he spoke to the team through his actions: He pulled out his blender and whipped up new line combinations. Truthfully, the old servings weren’t good for the […]

“Enough Is Enough” Puts the VGK in ...
Since the beginning of this franchise, Jonathan Marchessault has been telling it like it is. It’s not often, post-game, players don’t offer the usual canned responses; they’re very careful how they answer questions, especially after a loss. Last night, not only Jonathan, one of the original Misfits, but also the new guy in the room […]
Is It Just a Coincidence?
Last night in front of 17,819 at T-Mobile Arena, the VGK beat the San Jose Sharks for the 11th straight time by a score of 3-1. The game lacked any real emotion, especially on the part of the Sharks, who managed 17 shots on Robin Lehner. Lehner was making his return from the VGK never-ending […]
Can You Lose a Game, Yet Feel Good About Yourse...
The VGK are in a dog fight in the Pacific Division. They need every point they can find as they embark on this crucial part of the season that will determine their playoff future. Last night if you were a VGK fan, you weren’t sure what to expect at T-Mobile when they faced off against […]
Was This a Must-Win Game?
A true must-win game is either late in the season that if you lose, you miss qualifying for the playoffs, or an elimination game in a playoff series where you win or go home. Neither scenario fits here, but it was as close as you could come in their disappointing 3-1 loss last night to […]
