vs. RECORDS: Golden Knights 27-16-4 Hawks 16-22-8 PUCK DROP: 7:30 TV: WGN SEARCHING FOR ELIZABETH SHUE: SinBin Vegas It sounds strange to say that the Hawks have never beaten an expansion team. You’d think you’d have gotten one by accident, all things being norma.. But the
Perhaps it’s just sour grapes, and lord knows our vineyard is awash with those. But we were kind of surprised that the Vegas Golden Knights, in less than two years of existence, have become a cap-team. And hey, we guess you can’t argue with the results. A Cup final and what looks to be a […]
Sinbin.vegas is your home for anything Knights. Ken Boehlke is at the heart of it. Follow him on Twitter @kenboehlke. Last time we talked the Knights were still flickering on and off a bit. Now they’ve won seven in a row, are a point behind the Flames. What’s been the difference? The biggest difference has been […]

Notes: Last night was truly sobering. DeBrincat and Jokiharju barely got 10 minutes of even-strength time. Why? What are you holding onto here? Forsling played with Keith just as much as anyone, and we know how that goes. This is the last game you’ll have to watch Manning regularly though, so that’s nice. Maybe. Also, Corey […]
vs. RECORDS: Knights 12-12-1 Hawks 9-10-5 PUCK DROP: 7pm TV: NBCSN outside the 606, NBCSN Chicago inside DIAMONDS AND DUST: Sinbin Vegas I suppose one of the good things about following a team in transition is that every couple of weeks you get something new to watch and study. A few weeks ago it was […]
You’d be tempted to accuse the Knights and Marc-Andre Fleury of falling into the famous “Free Agent Year” trap, except that last year Fleury wasn’t in his free agent year. It seems unique to hockey that you have to sign a player to an extension a full season before he gets to free agency, as […]
