Things were completely opposite of what was supposed to happen in last night’s game won by the Flyers by a score of 6-2 — at least based on recent results. Coming into last night’s game, the VGK had the most goals scored in the entire NHL during the first 20 minutes of their games: 14 […]
Knights on Ice —Bischoff and the Pad
Contributed by Eddie Rivkin Marc-André Fleury and his legendary right pad came up huge again, as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0, for his 57th career shutout and the franchise’s 100th victory. With career win 445, the Flower ties Terry Sawchuk for 7th for all time. Fleury made 29 saves, the rest […]
Knights on Ice — Almost Nullified by NILsson
To nullify something means to make it invalid or ineffective. Last night, Ottawa Senators’ goaltender Anders Nilsson almost single-handedly nullified the VGK, making them invalid and ineffective, even at T-Mobile, where the VGK have dominated for the past two seasons. Somehow Vegas managed to escape with a 3-2 shootout win over the Senators to avoid losing 2 games […]

Knights on Ice — Some Consistency and No Consis...
“In hockey, the biggest adversity you face is consistency. It’s hard to show up every night. It’s something as a hockey player you struggle with a bit, so it’s on us to be able to perform every night, and we weren’t performing tonight.” – Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault As Eddie Rivkin pointed out in […]
Knights on Ice — A Sunday Special by the VGK Sp...
Sunday is a special day for a lot of people — a day of rest in which families spend quality time together. There was no rest for Marc-André Fleury, however, who was playing in back-to-back games, his 3rd game in 4 nights, as he replaced Malcolm Subban after the first period in Arizona on Thursday. For […]
Living Local — Las Vegas TV-Cord-Cutting Update
In past writings, I’ve discussed the increased availability of “cord cutting” for TVs — in short, the many (and increasing number of) alternatives to traditional cable television. It’s time for an update! Before we investigate what will work for you, we have to ask two questions. How much is cable television in Las Vegas? Due […]
Knights on Ice — Angry Knights
“We played angry,” Mark Stone said about the mindset of the team last night. “We don’t like losing two games in a row [against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday and Arizona Coyotes on Thursday]. We didn’t play the way we normally play, and we got jumped right from the get-go. We didn’t change anything [Saturday]. […]
Knights on Ice — From 2-0 to 2-2
Knights on Ice — From 2-0 to 2-2 Just last week, the VGK were riding high off back-to-back victories over division-rival San Jose Sharks, despite losing Cody Eakin and Alex Tuch before the season even started, then losing Nate Schmidt early in the first period on opening night. Then there was their less-than-stellar performance against […]
Knights on Ice — A Close Game
I wrote the title of this blog, of course, with tongue in cheek; last night’s game could not have been any further apart in effort and determination between two teams who in the last two seasons both appeared in, and lost, the Stanley Cup Final. When you look at the score of 4-3 and the […]
