Game #47 – Golden Knights vs. Hawks Spotlight: Punchy McPhee And How To Screw Up A Blank Slate

Sam Fels January 12, 2019 0

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 […]

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 […]

Game #30 – Hawks vs. Knights Spotlight: Patches Sliding Toward Becoming Poor Violet?

Sam Fels December 6, 2018 0

There’s a school of thought that hockey players, especially forwards, peak at the age 0f 27. Some punch through that, such as Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, perhaps Patrick Kane, Joe Pavelski, and this could go on. But for the most part, it’s true. Max Pacioretty was thought to be a player who wouldn’t fall victim […]

Game #30 – Hawks vs. Knights Q&A: SinBin Vegas (Again)

Sam Fels December 6, 2018 0

Ken Boehlke is one-half of sinbin.vegas. This was the Q&A we did with them when the Knights were in town just a couple weeks ago. Follow them @SinBinVegas. We know the Knights benefitted last year from insane goaltending along  with their more than solid even-strength play. But having among the worst save-percentage and shooting-percentage this season seems […]

Game #30 – Hawks vs. Knights: Lineups & How Teams Were Built

Sam Fels December 6, 2018 0

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 […]

Game #25 – Golden Knights vs. Hawks Spotlight: Don’t Have A Whiff Of This Posy

Sam Fels November 27, 2018 0

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 […]
