The famous quote from the Apollo 13 mission to NASA headquarters in Houston was, “Houston, we’ve had a problem,” which over the years has been misquoted many times to “Houston, we have a problem.” The VGK headquarters is right here in Vegas and let me tell you all, Vegas, we have a problem. The VGK […]
Knights on Ice — Leafs Stick It to the Knights
In last night’s game won by Toronto by a score of 2-1, a few sticks came into play. Actually, they weren’t in the play that led to Toronto tying the game on a power-play goal with both Cody Eakin and Brayden McNabb not having their sticks in their hands, while they were attempting to kill […]
Knights on Ice — A Good Night for Two Golden Kn...
Last night’s 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets was needed more than you realize. Two Knights, Reilly Smith and Marc-Andre Fleury, played key roles in assuring this win for a team that is in somewhat of a fragile state of mind. Blowing 2-goal leads in back-to-back home games can cause a case of uncertainty, […]
Knights on Ice — Insanity
Albert Einstein defined insanity as, “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Well, call me crazy, but once again, the VGK had a 2-goal lead in the 3rd period over a team that was playing its second game in 2 nights and once again, they did the same exact thing. Were […]
Knights on Ice — No Treat for the VGK
Yes, on a night that is noted for the option of a trick or a treat, the VGK got the trick and not the treat in their 5-4 OT loss to the Montreal Canadiens at T-Mobile. It was a night that should have been about 177. Yes, the return of Nate Schmidt, #88, and Alex […]

Finalizing my Medicare Advantage Plan I will turn 65 this January, so I was able to sign up for Medicare as of October 1via https://www.ssa.gov/. Like most people my age, I will not consider going on Social Security for at least another year, so I went straight to the Medicare Enrollment section. The initial signup […]
Knights on Ice — BiPolar or Polar Opposite?
Don’t ask me. I’m not a doctor. And truthfully, I’m confused myself. But to put it simply, bipolar is a brain disorder causing unusual mood changes and shifts in energy and level of activity. I’m not suggesting that the VGK have a brain disorder, but the unusual mood changes and shifts in energy have been present […]
Knights on Ice — Embarrassing
Yes, that’s exactly what it was, but no one wanted to say it, until Coach Gallant himself used the word to describe the Vegas Golden Knights’ 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche. The only thing the 18,420 in attendance in this afternoon matinee to celebrate Nevada Day could stand and cheer for […]
Living Local — Is the “Best of Las Vegas” Any G...
Last Sunday, the annual “Best of Las Vegas” appeared as a “Special Advertising Feature” in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. At least they’re calling a spade a spade. The R-J has been compiling the “BOLV” for 38 years. In the beginning, it was very fair. The newspaper put a ballot in a Sunday newspaper with all […]
Knights on Ice — Theodore Part Deux, Produced b...
Last night, the VGK once again beat the Chicago Blackhawks. The final score was 2-1 in a shootout. It was the seventh win over the Blackhawks in seven tries. Yes, the Blackhawks remain the only team in the NHL that have never beaten the VGK. They’ve managed to get to the OT and shootout portion […]
