Contrary to popular misconception, Las Vegas puts on quite a show for the holidays — and not just New Year’s Eve. Christmas arrives with enough holiday cheer to go around for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who show up for it, including trees lit on every inch, ice-skating rinks overlooking the Strip, Santa villages, life-size […]
Knights on Ice — Power Outage in Dallas
Last night there was a power outage that played an instrumental role in the VGK 4-2 loss to the Dallas Stars, the hottest team in the NHL. The Stars have now won 7 games in a row to tie a franchise record that goes back to March 16-28, 1980, when the team was located in […]
Knights on Ice — You Were Warned
It’s not often I speak about what needs to be done for an upcoming game. Almost 100% of the time, my posts are usually about the game just played. But after the San Jose Sharks game, I wrote, “McDavid, Draisaitl, and Neal’s 44 goals combined account for 57% of the team’s total of 77 goals. […]
Living Local — Do I Benefit from Illegal Immigr...
Anyone living in Las Vegas for any extended period confronts the question: Am I benefiting from illegal immigration? Usually the answer is yes! Here are examples from my life. Several years ago, I was renovating a condo that I had purchased through a sheriff’s auction. The contractor I hired was excellent, but one day he […]
Knights on Ice — Dell-nied
It wasn’t your typical Vegas-San Jose game with Martin Jones between the pipes for the Sharks, which always seems to benefit the Knights, especially at T-Mobile Arena, where Jones has made it a habit of allowing his fair share of goals early and often and an early shower, which then finds Jones being replaced by […]
Knights on Ice — The Save
Last night, 18,292 were in attendance for the Vegas Golden Knights’ 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at T-Mobile. Last night, many of the 18,292 witnessed the most incredible save they’ve ever seen or for that matter may ever see. I’m not sure exactly how many live NHL games I’ve attended, but I know […]
Knights on Ice — Wild Bill Bookends the Flames,...
It was as close to a must-win that the VGK could possibly have had 22 games into a 82-game season. Not only did they get it, they put a stamp on it with a 6-0 win over the Calgary Flames at T-Mobile. William (“Wild Bill”) Karlsson opened and closed the scoring with his 7th and 8th goals […]
Knights on Ice — Valiant or Not
The movie Valiant will be shown before today’s game at T-Mobile. Anyone with a ticket to the game will relive the incredible story about a team being so valiant that they shocked the entire hockey world in their inaugural season, setting numerous records that had been around for 100 years in the NHL. The team […]
Knights on Ice — Shake, Rattle and …
Coach Gallant has obviously had seen enough looking back, not only on the last 4 road games, but the 3 previous home games, where leads were lost through a lack of getting his team to play a complete 60-minute game. Last night’s game was a clear indication that he was going to shake, rattle, and […]
Knights on Ice — “It’s Starting To Get Old”
Before anyone accuses me of being too critical of the VGK with the title of this blog, please be aware that it’s a quote from Jonathan Marchessault. It immediately followed the Knights’ 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, when he was asked about the team’s failure to protect leads and close out games. Marchessault […]
