I know last night’s game caused you to hyperventilate a little, or in some cases, a lot. But if you know the history between these 2 teams, especially at T-Mobile, it’s never over till it’s over. Once again, a multi-goal lead disappeared and the VGK came storming back. A late 2nd-period goal by Alec Martinez […]

Knights on Ice — Anyone but the Sharks
“Anyone but the Sharks” is the answer to the question, “Now that the VGK have been eliminated, who are you rooting for to win the Stanley Cup?” in Las Vegas and among virtually 100% of the VGK fan base. But the answer to this very same question among the referees in the NHL sure seems […]
Knights on Ice — Bogus Penalty Ends the VGK Sea...
From October 2017 till last night, I’ve written blog posts on 164 regular-season games and 26 playoff games and not once, win or lose, have I felt like the on-ice officials played a major role in the final score.

Yes, in less than a week, two teams have already been eliminated. Last night, the odds-on favorite was swept. The Tampa Bay Lightning were widely predicted […]
Knights on Ice—Subb-Par Performance
The VGK have now lost four games in a row (0-3-1), losing to the Minnesota Wild last night by a score of 3-2 at T-Mobile in front of a sold-out crowd of 18,492. Vegas previously had won 10 of their last 11 games and seemed poised to pass the San Jose Sharks, who have lost […]
