Jack Eichel was snubbed as a Captain on Team USA.  He won't get a letter for Alternate either.  We really felt that Eichel deserved Captaincy or a letter at the very least.  But Team USA's Bill Guerin stuck with Austin Matthews as captain and alternates Charlie McAvoy and Matthew Tkachuk, as the were during Four Nations.  We have early line rushes for the U.S. and Canadian Men's Hockey Teams.  Bot...

VGK handled business last night at T-Mobile Arena in a 5-2 romp over the hapless Canucks.  Following a scoreless first period, the Golden Knights notched three goals in a span of 2:30 - as Eichel, Reinhardt and Barbashev scored goals.  Ever since Cordasco said to trade Barbashev, he's scored goals in four consecutive games.   VGK scored two insurance goals in a minute in the third period with Doro...

The Golden Knights need to handle business tonight versus the last place team in the league  - the Vancouver Canucks. VGK is a heavy favorite to break its five game losing streak. Vancouver's has a depleted roster - but the Golden Knights have to get a win on the front end of the back-to-back.  Kai Uchacz was called up from Henderson and will be the starting fourth line center in his NHL debut.  ...

VGK shouldn't stand pat at the trade deadline - they need to be aggressive buyers or sellers to remain Cup contenders.  That is our opinion.  The trade deadline isn't until March 6, but teams cannot do business during the Olympic Freeze which begins tomorrow at 12 noon.  We talk about teams that could be major players in the Pacific Division based on remaining cap space at the deadline.  And we ev...

The Olympic Break cannot come soon enough for the reeling Golden Knights.  They lost twice in regulation over the weekend to the Kraken and Ducks.  The lost a pair of four-point divisional games and their stranglehold on the Pacific is starting to dwindle.  VGK lost twice by having to chase the game - so what else is new?  They trailed 3-0 last night at the Pond and 2-0 to the Kraken.  They battle...

VGK came back from a three-goal deficit in the third period, but couldn't secure a win in the extra period, falling in a shootout for a sixth time.  VGK lost the game 5-4.  They trailed 4-1 after two periods, mostly due to sloppy play, losing board battles and faceoffs along the way.  Bruce Cassidy said he had a film session after the second period to clean up some things.  He said he hadn't done...

Bruce Cassidy demanded an early start for the Golden Knights in Montreal and VGK delivered an early goal within the first ten minutes.  But they relinquished the lead in the second period and had to battle to battle to force overtime on a second Pavel Dorofeyev goal.  In the OT period Jake Evans scored the walk off goal for the Habs in a 3-2 final.  Goaltending was at a premium Akira Schmid stoppe...

Bruce Cassidy said he's hoping a "workday" in Montreal Monday will help to produce positive results in tonight's game against the Habs. VGK studied little film from Sunday's debacle in Ottawa, in which they lost 7-1.  To rebound tonight, VGK will have to get an early lead.  Cassidy is concerned about how the team plays its first ten minutes. The Golden Knights will try to avenge a 4-1 loss to the...

VGK ran into a buzzsaw in Ottawa Sunday, as they were routed by the Ottawa Senators. VGK had no response and the Sens piled it on with three goals in the second and third period.  The lone goal was scored by newcomer Rasmus Anderson for VGK.  It came with about 5-minutes remaining in the game so the Golden Knights avoided the shutout. VGK failed to capitalize on a 5 on 3 advantage and Mitch Marner...
