Vegas Knight Life

I’ve been sports fan for 46 years. I’ve had moments of joy but too many moments of heartbreak. I wanted this as much as you did Golden Knights fans. But it gets expensive to have your heart put back in these days. I will let this podcast do the rest of the talking. This will […]

What was the title of my last podcast? This is not meant as an I told you so. It’s how I look at sports. The eyeball test. This type of podcast may not still well with you. Giving a eulogy before the series is officially over but effectively it is. I recorded this at the […]

Belief does not score goals. At some point you have to call it like you see it. What I call the eyeball test. I actually am writing these shownotes with 3 minutes left in the 2nd. The game is a wrap. 2-0 lead by the Caps and about to take a 2-1 lead. You will […]

As I state in the podcast, no sense in me nitpicking every play or period. The one good thing this team does is bounce back. Tonight was not good 60 minutes of hockey for the Golden Knights. Welcome to playoff hockey. No one wins every game. Therefore, put this one behind us and get ready […]

It still is hard to believe. We are here. Heavyweight battle in Vegas. Nothing new if you watched boxing in the past. But to see it on ice in the desert. For those that have followed this team all season, this is nothing new in terms of performance. I am proud of this team repping […]

Can you believe it???? What started as a rumor back in 2014 of having a pro hockey team to where we are now is unreal. Just as Turk (Coach Gallant) is out of words describing his teams play, I am running out of words to type here. So I will let this podcast do the […]

Enjoy the moment tonight. A hard fought and despite allowing four power plays, Vegas battled hard all night. Getting the first goal and answering or defending everything the Jets threw at them. We know what is at stake Sunday. Play our game and it will be more of the same. Presser includes Coach, Marchy, Fleury, […]

Vegas solid forechecking for 40 minutes and backchecking for 20. Remove the zeros and heroes are your Golden Knights 4-2. Fleury was spectacular including two huge saves in the third. Keeping the show notes short as this episode runs long. But when you win, we can talk all day and night about Golden Knights. Please […]

Tonight was another example of why this team is good and not a cinderella team. Have a bad game? No worries. We bounce back. Why I said last episode, no need to panic. The team doesn’t let the moment get too big or too low. Play your game and give yourself a good chance to […]

This was not a strong performance by the Golden Knights. Tip your cap to the Jets for taking advantage of mental errors by the Knights. But as we say, you have to brush this one off and get back after it Monday. There is no time in hockey to wallow in your own sorrow. Man […]

When you win, people pay attention. This episode is for those who want to jump aboard and learn what is special and unique about this team. Kick back and I will help get you acquainted to board the Knight train! This is a fun team and I hope at the end, we all can drink […]

If I told you back in Sept 2017 that your Golden Knights would be eight games from winning Lord Stanley, you’d laugh me out the room. Guess what, we are halfway there to drinking from Lord Stanley. But first, a recap of tonights closeout game in San Jose. Dominating and could easily be argued one […]

Again, as a fan, this is nerve wracking. I like game one! It felt like we were cruising after going up 4-0 but San Jose will not go away. A much better performance by your Knights for the most part. End of the Knight, we will happily take the win despite having some high blood […]

Not a good time of the year to have one of your non memorable performances. Good news, series still tied at two. We also get the split in San Jose. With that said, game five is a critical swing game. The winner has the inside track to move on. Can Vegas keep the pattern going […]

Guess what Vegas hockey fans? 10 more wins and we make more history. I just hope if we go that far, some are easier on the old ticker. If you have no interest in either team, it was fun to watch. If you have a vested interest, it was nerve wracking! But in the end, […]

Absolutely the NHL was to blame in this lost. No questions asked. I will provide you proof. But things will be different Monday. I have a superstitious feeling about it. There were some things that Vegas did not do well tonight. But one thing we’ve learned. This team bounces back. Put this stinger of a […]

Welcome to round 2 and the Sharks up next. The waters got salty in the third but this game was over when the puck dropped. A complete 60 minutes of hockey by the Vegas Golden Knights. Fleury shut them down and seven different Knights found the basket. For once, a game that did not make […]

Wow. If anyone doubts the Golden Knights, they are simply haters at this point. The Kings tried everything to battle back and your Golden Knights responded in incredible fashion but taking it to them at every turn on the ice. Flower power was strong. The theme of players letting their former employers know how they […]

This game had a different tone tonight. Chippiness. Sure, the last two games were physical and you expect nothing less from a team in their own building down 0-2. But Vegas took the punches, fought back and in the end, delivered the knockout punch. Does anyone know what aisle the brooms are? GO KNIGHTS GO! […]

How is your heart doing? Still enjoying this thing called hockey? Just when you think you’ve seen it all! Fleury was strong but what about the performance by Jonathan Quick? More importantly the resilience by your Vegas Golden Knights to grind for 95+ minutes of hockey. Who does that??? Please stay tuned at the end […]
