It should come as no surprise that there might have been a slight playoff hangover for the VGK. This could account for last night’s result, especially when their opponent was the Arizona Coyotes who have never beaten the VGK. Did they overlook Arizona, knowing they’d beaten them four times this season? I can tell you […]
Knights on Ice — X Vegas, Baby!
When you now look at the standings in the NHL, you will now see an X next to Vegas in the standings. The X is what Coach Gallant refused to talk about for the first 75 games of the season. His face turned red if he heard his players even mentioning that word. The word […]
Knights on Ice — Two Strong Performances, but O...
The last two games for the VGK really showed how strong and deep they are in the goaltending department. After Malcolm Subban’s stellar performance on Thursday in San Jose, yesterday Marc Andre Fleury was back in the lineup after missing one game due to an undisclosed injury. He looked so sharp that like Subban, Fleury kept the […]
Knights on Ice — A Defining Game
There are games in a player’s career that are defining moments, though 99.9% of the time, the player is on the winning side of this moment that will always be remembered as a highlight of their entire career. One defining moment that I personally was in attendance for occurred in game 6 of the 1994 Eastern […]
Knights on Ice — Fleury Gets His 402 Win, but L...
This game appeared, initially, to be an easy night at the office for Marc Andre Fleury. He was facing the Vancouver Canucks; they’re not only already eliminated from the playoffs, but have also lost six games in a row and nine of the last 10, and have been shut out in their last three road games. […]
Knights on Ice — You Don’t Need To Be on ...
Most of the time, you can review the score sheet and see who made an impact on the eventual outcome. Well, today wasn’t one of those games. Two Golden Knights had a huge impact on today’s results and neither scored a goal. Yes, William Karlsson scored three goals for his second hat trick of the season. […]
Knights on Ice — Trouble or Nothing To Worry ab...
Being outscored 12 to 4 over the last 2 games is a problem. Granted, one of the 12 was an empty-net goal last night that derailed the comeback for Vegas, who eventually lost the game 4-2 to the Minnesota Wild. Vegas started playing in the last few minutes of the third period. Unfortunately, that was too little too […]

The green beer will be flowing all over town through the weekend, but here are some of the highlights. Downtown: Fremont Street Experience March 15-18, Free The four-day celebration will include live entertainment […]
Knights on Ice—Big Score, Bad Loss
[Editor’s Note: Joe Pane is temporarily sidelined by a sudden illness, so this truncated post about last night’s game was prepared by the LVA staff. As such, we’ve added a cool beer promotion in conjunction with attending the VGK games.] We’re sure Joe would’ve given all kinds of statistics about this lopsided game, but in […]
Knights on Ice — Vegas Powers Past Philly For F...
Talk about timing. Over the last 5 games, the VGK power play had been sluggish, scoring only 2 PPG in the last 12 attempts. Granted, some of the forwards on the power-play unit are injured and missing and this recent 2-for-12 is a good indication of how much James Neal and Reilly Smith mean to […]
