vs. SCHEDULE Game 1 in San Jose tonight, 9:30 Game 2 in San Jose Friday, 9:30 Game 3 in Vegas Sunday, 9pm Game 4 in Vegas Tuesday, 9:30 I suppose I should stand my ground, as I’ve believed in the Sharks all season, until their late-season pants-filling without Erik Karlsson. The fact that they finished […]

I Can’t Stop Staring At This Mark Stone Extension

Sam Fels March 8, 2019 0

I guess it’s because NHL writers love the thought of going to Vegas on the company dime in the spring so much that no one ever bothers to question what George McPhee is doing. It’s kind of the same thing with Nashville, but to an even greater degree. And yet, if you look underneath the […]

 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.

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 […]

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.
