The March Madness college basketball tournament begins Tuesday with the first play-in games, but the main event is this Thursday through Sunday, as visitors from all over the country come in for opening weekend. You really can’t go wrong if you watch the games in any casino sports book or non-casino sports bar, but following […]
Knights on Ice — Morning Hockey Is Like a Cold ...
I’ve never understood NHL games being played in the afternoon, or in this case for the VGK, 10 a.m. Pacific time. Hockey players are highly conditioned athletes who have game-day routines. On a normal game day, players have a morning skate. This allows them to check the equipment they’ll use for the game. It also allows […]
Knights on Ice — A Complete Team Effort
Wow. What a difference from one game to another. Granted, with all the injuries that Vegas has endured lately, while still trying to keep the chemistry that has been with this team from October, has not be easy. Last night, even though Tomas Tatar still doesn’t look comfortable with the top line missing an injured Reilly […]
Knights on Ice — 1-3-1in Their Last 5 and Mount...
Yes, the VGK have hit a small speed bump over their last 5 games, which just happens to coincide with the trade deadline and the insertion of some new players into a cohesive unit that, prior to the trade deadline, seemed to be firing on all cylinders. There’s no reason to even attempt to question […]
Knights on Ice — The Puck Stops Here
They were facing a three-game losing streak after playing three uncharacteristic games and giving up five goals in their third loss. Thus, the Golden Knights needed passion and a renewed commitment to the team’s system yesterday in New Jersey on their first game of a five-game east coast trip. Their last extended east coast six-game […]
Knights on Ice — Out-Skated, Out-Hustled, Out-S...
Don’t let the headline to this blog post fool you. For just about all of their previous 32 home games (24 wins, 8 losses), that title was appropriate for the teams facing the VGK at T-Mobile. Unfortunately, last night this title refers to our guys. Yes, what they’re noted for, especially at home, they suffered from last night. […]
Knights on Ice — Two Backup Goaltenders and Two...
Both teams started their backup goaltenders in tonight’s game. The L.A. Kings’ Jack “Soupy” Campbell was starting in his first game in 4½ years and only his third NHL start ever. It looked like this might be a good spot for the VGK to rebound from a disappointing loss on Monday night to the Kings in L.A., in which […]
Knights on Ice — I’ve Said It Multiple Times
I’ve said this many times this season: “The next team to score in a 2-0 game will mostly likely win the game.” And that’s exactly what happened last night as Vegas led 2-0 late in the game, headed to their third victory this season over the L.A. Kings. This article was originally going to be called “Two […]
Knights on Ice — Flurries, a Flurry, and Fleury
The title is short for Flurries in the Morning, a Flurry of Goals in the Evening, and Another Win for Fleury Yes, Las Vegas had snow flurries on Friday morning, somewhat for the Mojave Desert. But the flurry of goals last night was anything but rare; the VGK put six on the scoreboard on their […]
Knights on Ice — 0 to 7 in 2 Flat + a Gordie Ho...
The last time these two teams met was back on Jan. 30 in Calgary and the Flames were leading 2-1 with just 1:46 left in the game. Then the VGK had one of the most incredible finishes this year, scoring three goals in 53 seconds. It may be a while before that kind of finish is surpassed. […]
