I wrote the following paragraph following the Dec. 15 game vs. Vancouver, which was 8 long games ago. “If Stone can find his scoring touch and the Pacioretty Express continues down the tracks, look for your VGK to be sitting on top of the Pacific Division come Jan. 1, 2020, as 5 of their next 7 […]
Knights on Ice — Sticks and Stones and Shea
The Vegas Golden Knights rode the stick of Mark Stone and the passing of Shea Theodore to make a bold statement in their 4-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes last night at T-Mobile in front of 18,461 fans, who knew full well the importance of this game, as much as the entire team and the […]
Knights on Ice — In Spite Of
Last night the VGK lost a game they had no business losing 4-3 to the Anaheim Ducks in spite of the following. They were facing a team that was tied for last place in the Pacific Division. They were facing a team that ranked 29th in goals scored, with 96 goals in 37 games. The only […]
Knights on Ice — Dads Streak Continues
I know it’s a small sample, but it’s one that should not be ignored or overlooked: The VGK record when all of their dads are with them is now 5-0-1 for 11 points out of a possible 12. But what makes the 2 points earned last night even better is that it came against the […]

When the resiliency of the VGK was put to the test last night in Vancouver, they responded, scratching and clawing their way back multiple times. With the score 2-0, they scored to close it to within one; Vancouver regained the 2-goal lead in the 2nd period to go back ahead 3-1 and the VGK scored again. […]

I stopped by the local branch of the Clark County Library to check on education options (discussed in last week’s post) and was totally blown away by the online and streaming options now offered for the free price of a library card. Here is a partial list, which I have unfortunately been unable to totally […]
Knights on Ice — “Are You Trying To Get Me Fine...
These were the exact words from Coach Gallant in his post-game presser following the 3-2 VGK win when he was asked about some of the penalties that were called against the VGK last night at T-Mobile. Gallant’s response tells you that he, along with the 18,220 in attendance, minus a few Wild fans, were not […]

Last night, the Pacioretty Express was full steam ahead and the entire team was on board as they crushed their division opponent, the Vancouver Canucks, 6-3 in a crucial 4-point game at T-Mobile in front of 18,066. The win propelled the VGK over the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers into 2nd place in the Pacific […]
Knights on Ice — Subban Holds off Dallas until ...
The VGK won their 17th game of the season last night, 3-2, just 51 seconds into overtime with a goal by Max Pacioretty. Patches took a stretch pass from Shea Theodore, who caught the Dallas Stars changing lines with the puck on Theodore’s stick just inside of his blue line. The VGK have tortured teams with […]
Knights on Ice — 20 Minutes
This was a game of 2 teams headed in different directions. The St. Louis Blues had lost their last 3 games; their goaltender, Jordan Binnington, had given up 15 goals in his last 3 games and was pulled in his last game. The VGK were 5-1-1 in the last 7 games and Marc-André Fleury had […]
