Two letters in “Dear Abby” caught my eye last week, both from women. One was a single woman who claims she lives a full life, but has nothing to do on Saturday night, while the other was moving to across the country to a new retirement community and was afraid that she wouldn’t make new […]
Knights on Ice — Déjà Vu All Over Again
Contributed by Eddie Rivkin The VGK got totally dominated by the Sharks last night … in the faceoff circle. LOL. Oh, and they got outshot too. Neither of those facts really mean much of anything, as I’m sure you well know. Please forgive me for the bad attempt at shock value. As for the game […]
Knights on Ice — Lots of Number Ones Last Night
Last night you had an abundance of the #1 all over T-Mobile: Cody Glass, the 1st draft pick in VGK franchise history when he was selected 6th overall in the 2017 NHL draft, played his 1st NHL game and scored his 1st NHL goal on his 1st shot ever taken in the NHL. Fleury gave up only 1 goal in […]
Knights on Ice — Kane And Unable
Cain and Abel were the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain was a farmer who offered a portion of his crops to God, while his brother Abel was a shepherd whose offering of the fattest portion of his herd seemed to please God more. Cain eventually killed Abel over this. Ironically, Cain was […]
Knights on Ice — A Insignificant Loss Turns int...
These preseason games are really insignificant, their only purpose to help the coaching staff formulate what small changes will happen for the beginning of the regular season, which is when wins and losses matter. Granted, the VGK won the first four of their seven preseason games, but there were no horns blowing or chests pumping. […]
Knights on Ice — Burn the Tape and Move On
Part I by Eddie Rivkin Coach Gallant said that he would like to have his lineup “pretty well set” for the last couple of exhibition games. That set up last night’s game vs. the Colorado Avalanche as likely the final real chance for those auditioning for roster spots to stand out and earn their spot. […]
Living Local — Final Post on Vegas Dining
A few more observations and comments on dining in Las Vegas before I move on to other topics: Expanding on last week’s excellent post by Cory Roberts on Groupon/Living Social, a couple of readers asked about OpenTable, Yelp, and Restaurant.com. I’ve used OpenTable to make reservations at two of my favorite restaurants, Sparrow and Wolf […]
Knight on Ice — Hey Flower, Nice to See You!
Contributed by Eddie Rivkin For the second game in a row, it took the VGK more than 10 minutes to get their first shot in the first period. But they got their first two shots seconds apart and their first goal too, on a tap-in by Valentin Zykov. The goal was set up when Cody […]
Knights on Ice — A Tale of Two Games
[Editor’s Note: The following post was written by Eddie Rivkin.] Last night in Los Angeles, the VGK defeated the Kings 3-2 in overtime when Jonathan Marchessault finished off a great lead pass from Cody Eakin with a glove-side top-shelf snipe to close the show at 1:04 into the OT period. But that was just the ending, not […]
Knights on Ice — Hockey Is Back!
Yes, hockey is back in Las Vegas and not a moment too soon. In just three short years, the Vegas Golden Knights have had a roller coaster of emotions and not only the organization and players, but the fans as well. In year one, there were zero expectations and we all know how that turned […]
