I’m not sure you could be blamed if you were a doubter after the way the Colorado Avalanche manhandled the VGK in their last game on Thursday. But there’s no doubt in my mind that you became a believer when the game went to overtime and Max Pacioretty was on the ice. Max and the […]
Knights on Ice — Spanked, or Was It an Old-Fash...
It doesn’t matter what you call it. The VGK, who exploded for 3 goals on Monday night vs. St. Louis in the third period, had the Colorado Avalanche explode on them in the 2nd period with 4 goals and one more in the 3rd for a 5-1 win. Five unanswered goals against a team that […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Explode for 4 Goals in the...
The St. Louis Blues were in Las Vegas relaxing on Sunday, waiting for the VGK. The Knights had to play Sunday against the Kings in L.A., then had to jump on a plane and within 25 hours face the well-rested Blues at T-Mobile. For Vegas, it was also the 7th game in 11 day, while […]
Knights on Ice — One Tough Shift, Plus 51 secon...
The VGK lost yesterday to the L.A. Kings by a score of 3-1 and it was all because Dylan Coghlan gave the puck away 3 different times on the same shift. His inability to keep the puck on his stick and clear the zone allowed Sean Walker to score his first goal of the season […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Will Their Way To Beat L.A...
“Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Last night two Wills were needed to beat the L.A. Kings. William Karlsson scored the winning goal in the second period after the Kings wiped out the 2-goal lead that Max Pacioretty provided with his 2 goals in the first period. Then William Carrier added an insurance goal […]
Knights on Ice — Three Third-Period Goals and a...
Yesterday, St. Paddy’s Day, all over the country a lot of Jägermeister bombs were consumed in the honor of St. Patrick. Early research suggests that drinking Jägermeister in moderate amounts may be linked to a lower risk of strokes and other cardiovascular diseases. Well, the VGK have their own version of this; it’s called the […]
Knights on Ice — 24 Square Feet Become a Work o...
The dimensions of an NHL net are 6 feet wide and 4 feet tall, which is 24 square feet. Last night, there was a work of art, a Picasso if you will allow me some artistic interpretation, at both ends of the ice. With Marc-Andre Fleury in his 24 square feet, it’s not unusual for […]
Knights on Ice — Look Who Is No Longer Invisibl...
Who knew I could influence Shea Theodore? Not me. I mentioned after Friday night’s game that Shea Theodore was invisible and the VGK needed him if they were headed deep in the playoffs. He’s instrumental in the success of their power play along with Alex Pietrangelo. Well, last night Shea had the type of game […]
Knights on Ice — Just as Bad as a Check from Ev...
A lead in a St. Louis Blues vs. Vegas Golden Knights game is as bad as having a check written by Evander Kane. Both the lead in these games and a check from Kane never amount to much. Last night’s game was no different. The multi-goal leads added up to nothing after 60 minutes. For […]
Knights on Ice — Trash
Before you lose your lunch thinking that I’m calling the VGK performance last night “trash,” all I’m doing is quoting Mark Stone and his assessment of the team in their 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild. “We didn’t break the puck out well, we didn’t transition the puck well, we didn’t make proper plays in […]
