No, that’s not a typo. Yes, we’ve Benn here before. Jamie Benn, captain of the Dallas Stars, has once again invested his will, his heart, his soul, and his pure determination to do whatever it takes to beat the VGK in the Western Conference Finals. He did it in Game 3 and last night he […]
Knights on Ice — The Radulov Horror Show, Plus ...
The Dallas Stars scored in Game 1 on their very first shot. Last night, they continued to make good on the limited amount of shots they’ve generated. Alexander Radulov scored on the team’s first shot taken in overtime, 31 seconds into the period. Dallas is content and comfortable in its shut-it-down style of play, looking […]

Have you ever dreamed of meeting a celebrity in Vegas? Well, you can! I once saw Patrick Ewing playing blackjack at Bellagio. He played mostly good basic strategy, except he split 4s on one hand. That’s part of the reason he was losing stacks of $10,000 chips. If you haven’t met anyone famous in the […]
“His Mouth Is Running, His Feet Are Going,” Plu...
Last night, the VGK put their train back on the tracks in a dominating 3-0 win over the Dallas Stars that now squares the series at 1-1. There wasn’t much you could take from Game 1 to build on, but having Ryan Reaves back in the lineup appeared to help in straightening out the derailed […]
Knights on Ice — “You’re in the fin...
“Tonight, it just took us too long to get into the game, too long to get that energy, that fire, that bravado you need to play in these types of games,” Golden Knights defenseman Nate Schmidt said. “You’re in the final four. Every team is good here.” True. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for the […]
Knights on Ice — Just When You Thought, Oh No, ...
Yesterday, you may have had this strange feeling as you watched Game 7. If so, you weren’t alone. Most of the city was watching the final game of a series the VGK at one point led 3-1. Even though the Knights finally found a way to beat Thatcher Demko and the resilient Vancouver Canucks with […]
Knights on Ice — The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot S...
The Canucks avoided elimination once again with a 4-0 victory in Game 6 last night. Coupled with Tuesday’s 2-1 victory, Vancouver has climbed back into the series and has now forced a deciding Game 7 tonight. Teams that win Games 5 and 6 after trailing a series 3-1 are 29-28 (50.%) in winning a best-of-7 […]
Since You Asked — A Good Time at Circus Circus
You can actually have a good time at Circus Circus. Pause … “No, Dave! The pandemic must be getting to you. You’ve been away from Vegas too long and you’re desperate.” Maybe, but you can actually have a good time at Circus Circus! I know, CC is cheesy, it’s not fancy, and it’s on a desolate […]
Knights on Ice — The VGK Get Demkoed
Thatcher Demko had never appeared in an NHL playoff game, to say nothing of an elimination game to boot. So the stage was set. Vancouver’s #1 goalie, Jacob Markstrom, was ruled unfit to play Game 5, so the path to Round 3 for the VGK seemed like it would just be a mere 60 minutes […]
Knights on Ice — 17-5, Plus Travis Green Is Be...
Last night the VGK scored 3 unanswered goals in the 3rd period for a come-from-behind 5-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. Vegas now needs one more victory to advance to the Western Conference Finals for the 2nd time in their young 3-year history. Pretty impressive, if you ask me. Who knows if it could have been 3 […]
