The VGK were headed into overtime, which would have prevented last night’s game from being a 4-pointer. But with the faceoff to Fleury’s left, William Karlsson drew the puck to the boards, clearly a safe choice, better than the puck drawn back to the point or out in front of Fleury. But Zac Whitecloud was […]

Knights on Ice — VGK Sneaks By Anaheim, but Not...
The VGK sneaked by the Anaheim Ducks 5-4 after blowing a 3-goal lead in the 3rd period. But the celebration didn’t last long; immediately after the game, the team went into COVID protocol once again. It was almost like the team knew what was in store for them. They seemed to lose their focus in […]
Knights on Ice — I Stand Corrected: There...
After the VGK 5-2 victory on Friday against the same L.A. Kings, I wrote that there was no sign of rust among the players after a 9-day layoff. Because he never stepped on to the ice, I didn’t include Robin Lehner in that opinion. Well, yesterday, he was in the net, as the goaltending rotation […]
Knights on Ice — A Wildflower Appears in ...
Very few things have the capability to grow in the desert and yesterday that appeared to hold true, as the VGK and Arizona Coyotes faced off in the final game of their 4-game series. Arizona especially wasn’t producing much of anything for the entire 60 minutes, launching only 16 shots that found their way toward […]
Knights on Ice — Who Would Have Thought?
Who would have thought that the VGK would start the season with Marc-Andre Fleury still on the team? Who would have thought they would set a franchise record with 4 straight wins to open the season? Who would have thought that they’d be the only team in the entire NHL that remains undefeated that has […]

In this post, we follow him home, with a surprise twist at the end. When the trip was up, Conrad […]
Conrad’s Capers — Conrad Does Cabo Part 3
In the previous post in this series, we mentioned the discount card called the Los Cabos Passport Card. Here, we go into the details. The Passport Card comes out twice a year, on January 1 and July 1, and each is good for a year. It costs $80 and provides 2-for-1s or 50% off at […]
Knights on Ice — A Puck over the Glass, a Broke...
What was the real cause of the VGK bowing out of the Western Conference Finals last night in just five games, losing to Dallas in overtime by a score of 3-2? Was it Zach Whitecloud sending the puck over the glass in overtime, causing the delay-of-game penalty that put Dallas on the power play in […]
Knights on Ice — RX Fleury Rx: a medical prescription. The symbol “Rx” is usually said to stand for the Latin word “recipe” meaning “to take.” Last night Marc-André Fleury was exactly the medicine the VGK needed or had to take in their dominating 5-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. This is no way a sign of […]

[Note from Jeffrey Compton: This is a guest Living Local post by Bob Dancer.] I’ve been a fan of podcasts on www.themoth.org, which are dedicated to the art of storytelling. These podcasts feature true stories, told without notes, which actually happened to the storyteller. A few years ago I heard of a group in Las […]
