In their last game at T-Mobile, the VGK outshot the Tampa Bay Lightning 41-to-19 for Tampa Bay yet lost 4-3. Quantity over quality against Tampa Bay. Against Dallas on Dec. 8, they […]
Knights on Ice — Considering the Circumstances
The VGK played well last night, but not well enough to beat the defending Stanley Cup Champions Tampa Bay Lightning. Considering the circumstances, you would not be wrong to give the VGK a pass on their 4-3 loss, but when you look at how Vegas held Tampa Bay to just 19 shots for the entire […]
