I love the Internet! I feel it was created by God especially for people like me who crave instant information, constant innovation, and continual change (or more correctly, are flighty). According to my friends and colleagues, I change my mind more often than anyone else they know, especially about small things, so having a very […]
Knights on Ice — From Not So Fast to Slow and S...
Yes, vroom, the roaring sound made by a motor at high speed. The VGK engine is now running at high speed and last night, they ran over, through, and around the San Jose Sharks in the 6-0 victory that evened their record at 12-12-1 and put them just 3 points out of first place in […]
Knights on Ice — When Not So Fast Becomes Slow ...
The title of my last post after the Golden Knights 3-2 OT win against Arizona was “Not So Fast.” I wrote that this team has played one good game followed by a stinker for most of this season. They hadn’t won two games in a row in more than a month. But yesterday, they seemed, […]
Knights on Ice — Not So Fast
Yes. Last night, the Knights won and salvaged their short three-game road trip by winning two of their three games with their 3-2 OT win over the Coyotes in Arizona. But until they start stringing together well-played games back to back and lose the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality they’ve shown us 23 games into […]
Living Local (and Large at Low Cost) — “W...
I recently took a trip to south Texas — a land rich in history, scenery, and idiosyncrasy — and was asked the question in the title of this inaugural blog post several times, usually followed by “I love to visit Las Vegas” or “I’ve thought of moving there.” My short answer? “Good, but different.” My long […]
Knights on Ice — Flames Score a Touchdown While...
It was a strange night in professional sports; I went outside twice just to see if there was a full moon or something. In the Monday Night Football game, the L.A. Rams and Kansas City Chiefs scored a total of 105 points, third highest point total in NFL history. The final score, 54-51, was more […]
Knights on Ice — Schmidt Happens
Their first 20 games this season were without Nate Schmidt. Number 88 didn’t contribute to the offensive outburst or register a point in last night’s game in Edmonton. Eight other VGK players did in their 6-3 victory against the Oilers. But Schmidt’s presence was noticed on the ice, on the bench, and in the locker […]
Knights on Ice — Friday Night Blues
The only thing that’s consistent with the Golden Knights so far this season is inconsistency, and believe it or not, we’re nearly 25% through the 82-game season. The VGK record for their first 20 games is 8-11-1 and 17 points. Tonight’s debacle came at the hands of St. Louis. The Blues outskated, outworked, and outscored […]
Vegas Golden Knights — A New Kind Of Golden
In a season that has been disappointing for the most part, something had to give. Last night was a good time to change it up, when Fleury broke out a brand new pair of pads, golden ones at that, along with a matching gold blocker and gold glove. It seemed to work as Vegas, playing […]
Knights on Ice — When Is It Time To Really Wor...
After yesterday’s beatdown of the VGK at the hands of the Boston Bruins by a score of 4-1, I know many of you are dazed, confused, frustrated, and second-guessing your team. It’s no secret that Malcolm Subban had a bad game yesterday. He looked completely lost on Boston’s second goal, a gift for Jeremy Lauzon that […]
