I covered this team for 82 games last season, along with 20 playoff games. Add to that the 58 games of the 2018-2019 season and in 160 games total, I’ve never seen Coach Gallant as pissed off as I did in his post-game presser last night following the VGK’s 5-2 loss to the Arizona Coyotes […]
Getting To Know Las Vegas’s Oversized Asset – M...
I was out of town, in fact out of the country, for the last two weeks attending a gaming trade show in London. I had a great time throughout the trip, and it occurred to me coming and going how Las Vegas is blessed with an oversized asset: McCarran International Airport. The only airport in […]
Knights on Ice — 12 vs. 10, plus a Couple of St...
When Coach Gallant stops rolling out four lines one right after another, you know something is wrong. Last night, Gallant did something he’d never done in the VGK’s 140 regular-season and 20 playoff games: He played only 10 forwards for the entire third period. The Blue Jackets continued with four complete lines that consisted of […]
Knights on Ice — 29 For 29
Last night, Marc André Fleury recorded his league-leading 29th win of the season in his 48th game played in the VGK 4-3 win over Detroit. Last season, the Flower had 29 wins for the entire season when he played in just 46 games due to an injury suffered against the same Detroit Red Wings on Friday Oct. […]
Knights on Ice — Despite The War Room, Facing t...
Despite all of this, the VGK overcame a 2-0 deficit by scoring two unanswered goals in regulation and one in the shootout to defeat Tampa Bay, the number-one team in the NHL, 3-2 and snap a franchise-record four-game losing streak. Vegas outshot Tampa 6-0 in the overtime. It should also be noted that my theory, that […]

If you’re not from Brooklyn or not Italian, let me help you with this explanation about how you should feel about the VGK’s first regular-season four-game losing streak in franchise history. JUST FORGET ABOUT IT. There’s nothing anyone can do about it. When you score just 6 goals in 4 games, chances are pretty strong […]
Living Local — Gambling and the Las Vegas Local
This is the first post in Living Local (and Large at Low Cost) in Las Vegas that discusses gambling, hopefully followed by several more over the next year. Let’s set some ground rules. A local Las Vegas resident doesn’t have to gamble at all to have a good life. Even in my world as publisher […]
Knights on Ice — The VGK Stumble from Their Bye...
Last night, the Vegas Golden Knights returned to the ice after being off for eight days and it showed. In a very unKnight-like performance, their play was sloppy in all areas of the ice in the 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Carolina. It was also their third loss in a row and the fifth in […]
Is it Time to Buy?
Will the news coming out of the Fed yesterday spur more activity in the real estate market? With the Fed surprising nearly everyone by holding steady on the interest rate, this could go one of two ways. It could be the catalyst that gets buyers off the fence and out shopping for homes, or it could result in buyers […]
