Jonathan Quick made a brief appearance in last night’s game. He lasted just 8 shots or 15:25 into the game, giving up 3 goals before being replaced by Cal Petersen. A recurring problem for the VGK this season had been giving up goals on either the first shot of the game or in the early […]
Knights on Ice — The Drought Ends in L.A.
The goal droughts of Alex Tuch (14 games) and Mark Stone (10 games) became history when they both scored key goals in the VGK 4-2 win over the L.A. Kings. Stone’s shorthanded goal just as the 2nd period was coming to a close was a game changer. Goals in the final minute of a period […]
Knights on Ice — A Big Hill To Climb and Some B...
The VGK had a big hill to climb in order to sweep the Arizona Coyotes in the 2nd game of their 2-game series Sunday afternoon at T-Mobile, with a very determined Adin Hill back in the net. Hill was left out to dry by his teammates on Friday night when the VGK peppered him with […]
Knights on Ice — A Potpourri of Goals
Potpourri is a mixture of dried naturally fragrant plant materials, used to provide a gentle natural scent. Last night the VGK had their own version of potpourri at T-Mobile and as the pleasant fragrance filled the air, the Knights filled the Arizona net with different types of goals in their dominating 7-4 win over the […]
Knights on Ice — Make That Three Losses in the ...
This team needs a lot of help if they intend to make any noise in the playoffs. Their current play is inconsistent, their power play is as bad as it could possibly be. They’re currently 0-18 on the power play, 2nd longest drought in their history. Last night the power play went 0-4. They were […]
Knights on Ice — Vegas Returns to the Front of ...
Over the last few games, the VGK have seemed to avoid the dirty areas of the ice and it showed in their goal production, especially in their last 3 games when they scored only 5 goals. Last night they found their way in front of St. Louis goaltender Ville Husso in their 6-1 win. Husso […]
Knights on Ice — Minnesota Inches Past Vegas
Minnesota didn’t need a lot of goals or much ice to beat the VGK last night by a score of 2-1 for the 2nd straight game. But all of a sudden, Vegas is in the midst of a 3-game losing streak, all at T-Mobile. Prior to these last 2 games and the 2nd game of […]
Knights on Ice — You Can Play Salary-Cap Gymnas...
The VGK’s salary-cap gymnastics over the last 2 seasons finally reared their ugly head last night in the heartbreaking 3-2 shootout loss at T-Mobile. It got to the point where they couldn’t put 18 players on the ice. I’m calling it heartbreaking, because Robin Lehner played his heart out, stopping 35 of the 37 shots […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Start off Short-Handed and...
The day started with the VGK having a completely healthy roster. Alex Pietrangelo returned to the team after missing the last 12 games due to an undisclosed injury that most believe was a hairline fracture after taking a slapshot to his upper body. But before Carnell “Golden Pipes” Johnson completed his usual inspiring rendition of […]
Knights on Ice — The Problem: The First Game F...
Once again, fresh off of a road trip, the VGK came out flat. It also happened when they returned to T-Mobile on March 15 from their 6-game road trip and last night they were a step behind the L.A. Kings for most of the first period. Robin Lehner was in net and Marc-André Fleury wasn’t […]
