Those who have been following my blog know about my lifetime marriage to my wife, a.k.a. the New York Rangers, and my new girlfriend, a.k.a. the Vegas Golden Knights. Their first meeting on October 31 back in New York City was a confusing night for me. How do I handle my love for the Rangers and not […]
Knights on Ice — Good Bounce-Back Win
Last night’s game was a rollercoaster of momentum swings for both teams. Vegas returned to their first-period dominance, with team speed that at this point of the season isn’t a surprise to any of other 30 teams in the league. The Knights dominated the first 18 minutes with goals by Alex Tuch (9) and Jonathan […]
Knights on Ice — Speed Kills Win Streak
For most of 2017 and their first game vs. Nashville last Tuesday, the Vegas Golden Knights pretty much dictated the pace of their games. Their speed caught unsuspecting teams flat-footed and before they knew what hit them, they trailed early and often, especially at T-Mobile Arena where the VGK are almost unbeatable, particularly in the […]
Knights on Ice — Just Say NO: But How Can You W...
VGK Coach Gallant wants his players to say “NO” to any talk about the playoffs. He insists that they look ahead and prepare for only their next game. But it’s his players who must follow this order. We, on the other hand, aren’t bound by this team edict. How can we not talk, think, and […]
NYE Party Hats
The hat is a piece of paraphernalia that’s associated with New Year’s Eve and most revelers wear all kinds of hats in which to ring in the new year. In yesterday’s Vegas Golden Knights game, a hat was worn that not only looked good with the green and gold, but it was also the first […]
Knights on Ice — Two Goalies, Five Stanley Cups...
All of the above played significant roles in Thursday night’s game between the number-one team in the entire Western Conference, your Vegas Golden Knights, and the second-place team in the Pacific Division, the L.A. Kings. The Kings are chasing the VGK for a superior playoff position. Yes, we’re now, as early as December, talking about playoff seeding. […]
Knights on Ice — Make That a Four-Point Holiday...
Among the Golden Knights, there seemed to be a case of food coma last night—from the huge meals that have become an unhealthy tradition this time of year. At least during the first period, anyway, which are usually strong for the VGK, catching most teams by surprise. In the first 20 minutes of last night’s game […]
Weekend Brunch at Downtown Grand
Las Vegas is loaded with weekend brunches. Or at least that’s what they call themselves. In most cases, brunch is nothing more than a combo breakfast and lunch menu, maybe with a couple of specials added on. That’s brunch, right? Sure. But we’ve always thought it should be more of a sampling thing, which makes buffets […]
Knights on Ice — Santa Has Already Come To Town
There’s no other explanation as to what’s going on at T-Mobile –other than Santa is filling Christmas stockings with one Vegas Golden Knights gift after another. Back-to-back Stanley Cup champions Pittsburgh Penguins come to town and Santa put some coal in their stockings, sending them packing with a loss. Adding insult to injury, former Penguins’ […]
First Look at the Palms’ A.Y.C.E. Buffet
The new A.Y.C.E. Buffet opened today at the Palms. We haven’t eaten there yet (we like to sample as paying customers), but we walked through on media day and it looks fantastic, featuring lots of creative small plates similar to the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan or the Bacchanal at Caesars. The big difference is the […]
