Las Vegas is known for having some of the world’s best illusionists. Siegfried and Roy, who made elephants and tigers disappear right before your eyes, are probably the most famous, though they’re followed closely by David Copperfield, who not only disappeared the Statue of Liberty disappear in New York Harbor, he poofed away a jet […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Head into Christmas Break ...
Bad breaks happen; they’re part of playing sports. But recently the VGK seem to be on the wrong side of everything that could possibly go wrong. Last night they kissed away another valuable point away to their division rival L.A. Kings in their 4-3 loss at T-Mobile. Just like Saturday’s game against Montreal, this one […]
A Night in Fremont East
Fremont East, which comprises six blocks from Las Vegas Boulevard to 8th Street and from Ogden Street South to Carson, is probably the most authentic entertainment area in Las Vegas. Developed beginning in the early 2000s, the district is now home to several quality well-priced bars and restaurants, a luxury high-rise condo, two concert venues, […]
Knights on Ice — C’est Ce Que CR...
When you believe “it is what it is” in Montreal or any French-speaking country, you’ll hear “C’est ce que c’est.” As a fan, there was nothing you could have done about the events that transpired at T-Mobile in the overtime loss the VGK suffered to the Montreal Canadiens by a score of 4-3. Unfortunately, a […]
Knights on Ice — Down by Two Goals? No Problem!
In a gutty come-from-behind performance, the VGK spotted the New York Islanders two goals just 1:08 apart late in a first period that was dominated by Vegas for the first 18:30. The second goal came with just 22 seconds left in the period. Giving up a goal late in a period is often crushing to […]
Living Local — Las Vegas Grocery Stores: Very G...
Of the 10 best supermarkets in the U.S. listed in a recent Food and Wine article, only WinCo (two locations), Whole Foods (four), and Trader Joe’s (five) have stores in Las Vegas. The valley doesn’t offer the total grocery-shopping experience of Wegman’s in upstate New York or H-E-B in Texas, but Las Vegas residents can […]
Knights on Ice — 6 For 5 Equals Zero
In Las Vegas, you should always avoid any blackjack tables that pay 6-5 for natural blackjacks; you’ll eventually go broke playing at these tables. And If you’re the backup goaltender for the Vegas Golden Knights and your team has scored just six goals in the five games you’ve started, you’ll have zero wins. It’s just […]
Knights on Ice—USA Versus Sweden
You’ve waited for 31 games for the USA line of Pacioretty and Tuch, centered by Stastny, to finally have all three of them healthy enough to play together. Yesterday, we were treated to GM George McPhee’s vision, once he decided that letting James Neal and David Perron leave via free agency was better for the […]
Knights on Ice — Downright Ugly
Coach Gallant called the game against the Islanders on Wednesday night “not pretty.” Well, last night’s game against the New Jersey Devils was ugly and no one could or would give you an argument about that. Twice the VGK blew three-goal leads in their 5-4 overtime loss. Not only the result was totally unacceptable, but […]
Knights on Ice — It Wasn’t a Pretty Game...
In the words of Gerard Gallant, “It wasn’t a pretty game,” but I’m sure that he, along with the team, will take last night’s win of 3-2 over the New York Islanders in Brooklyn and move on to the next game. Yes, a lot seemed out of sync in last night’s game. First was the […]
