High-Interest Bank Accounts
Those of us who’ve been around a while remember when banks had decent interest rates. What’s the interest on your savings account now? 0.05%? 0.01%? Maybe even 0% because your balance isn’t above $10,000? In the past decade, interest rates have varied wildly as the economy has gone from good to bad and back, although […]
Knights on Ice — When Looking Back Isn’t Such A...
Looking back is usually not a good thing, as we should always look forward, think positive, and leave the bad behind. But the beginning of this season, especially the first five games, wasn’t what we were hoping for with the VGK. They had a very disappointing loss in their home opener vs. Philadelphia, then embarked […]
Knights on Ice—Should Fleury Be Reported to the...
If I were the Philadelphia Flyers, I would have called the cops on Marc-André Fleury, who committed unarmed robbery by single-handedly beating the Flyers yesterday by a score of 1-0. Flyers captain Claude Giroux, especially, might have reported multiple cases of unarmed torts inflicted upon himself. We’ve all seen what Fleury is capable of. But […]

Knights on Ice — Just The Same Two-Goal Game
For the fifth straight game, your VGK found the back of the net only twice, bringing their record to a disappointing one win in five games. Last night they lost their third in a row, falling to the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2. In all 82 of their games during the 2017-2018 season, Vegas never lost more than […]
Knights on Ice — Is There a Problem?
Losing last night to the defending Stanley Cup Champions Washington Capitals by a score of 5-2, the Vegas Golden Knights are now 1-3 and have lost two games in a row. Last year after four games, they were 3-1. So far this season, Vegas has scored just two goals in each of their games for […]
Knights on Ice — Too Many Defensive Miscues
The Buffalo Sabres have finished in last place three of the previous five seasons and haven’t made the playoffs in the last seven years. So far this season, they haven’t scored any even-strength goals. The Sabres scored two goals total in their first two games, both on the power play in their second game against […]
Knights on Ice — Just In The Max Of Time
It’s a good thing hockey games are 60 minutes long, or in tonight’s case, 65 minutes plus a shootout. It took the Vegas Golden Knights more than 58 minutes to get a puck behind Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk, who stopped the first 37 shots Vegas launched at him. He eventually stopped 41 of 42 […]
Knights on Ice — Too Soft, Too Slow, Too ...
“Too soft, too slow, and too much room,” said coach Gerard Gallant when he was asked in his post-game presser how the Philadelphia Flyers not only won the game 5-2, but dominated his team for the final 50 minutes in front of a crowd of 18,555 at T-Mobile Arena. Yes, the VGK did feed off […]
