Dustin Byfuglien Pulls Down Two Knights At Once
Winnipeg strongman Dustin Byfuglien won’t stop asserting his dominance against lesser men, as the Vegas Golden Knights learned once more in Game 3 of their series tonight. In a big testy scrap near the end of the second period, Byfuglien grabbed hold of both Tomas Nosek and Colin Miller—who are list...
Here's Another Hilariously Epic Vegas Pregame Show<em></em>
The Vegas Golden Knights have made a habit out of spectacularly over-the-top performances to kick off playoff games, and their home opener in the Western Conference Finals might have been their best yet. The Game 3 pregame party had everything: a drumline, an archer, a swordfight, a flying dude with...
My Favorite Subplot Of Winnipeg-Vegas Is People Trying To Hit Dustin Byfuglien And Getting Demolished
Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien is a big boy. Listed at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, I would call him an immovable object if not for the fact that he’s usually moving toward you. And it’s gonna go badly for you....
The Golden Knights Found Success With A Slowdown
The Golden Knights chalked up their Game 1 loss to effort. “They outworked us,” coach Gerard Gallant said. “We have to compete harder. We got to battle harder.” It’s the sort of thing a coach says all the time, but it’s also just about the only thing a team can try to change when they’re up against ...
The Penultimate Episode Of The All-Athlete <i>Dancing With The Stars </i>Featured A Lot Of Hats And Not Many Shirts
In the 1994 comedy The Mask, a shy bank clerk named Stanley Ipkiss (played by Jim Carrey) is plagued with the burden and the blessing of discovering an ancient mask containing the spirit of the ancient Norse god, Loki. Under the spell of the mask, Ipkiss, an otherwise meek man who has trouble with w...
Everything Went Right For The Golden Knights
After dispatching the Golden Knights with a three-goal barrage in the first-period of Game 1, the Winnipeg Jets found Vegas to be a much tougher opponent in their second series meeting, and couldn’t get anywhere near a repeat performance. The Knights rode a pair of first period goals and a brillian...
How The Golden Knights Got So Good
You could see it from the 300 level. Watching the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Blackhawks 5-4 in Chicago on Jan. 5 cemented two things in my mind about this NHL season. First, the Blackhawks were done, having been made to look exceedingly old and slow again. Second, the Golden Knights were very muc...
This Week's All-Athlete<i> Dancing With The Stars </i>Was All Glitter And Madness
The dresses: glittery. The celebrities: moderately recognizable. The event: you definitely heard someone mention it once. Last night, and technically all of yesterday if you really think about it, was Monday, the one day of the week where a handful of dubious notables along with actual talent hired ...
Marc-Andre Fleury Is Playing The Hockey Of His Life
Marc-Andre Fleury was the face of the Golden Knights long before the Golden Knights had any faces. The two worst-kept secrets in hockey were that 1)the Penguins were prepared to hitch their wagon to the decade-younger Matt Murray and would not protect Fleury in the upcoming expansion draft, and 2)Ve...
The Golden Knights Won A Game Of Inches
Series can hinge on the slimmest of margins, but rarely can you see those margins so starkly as in Monday’s Game 3. It is no overstatement to say that the Golden Knights are up 2-1 in their series with the Sharks because of an inch here, an inch there....
What If The Golden Knights Just Never Lose?
How are things going for the Vegas Golden Knights? Marc-Andre Fleury is doing the wave:...
The Goddamn Golden Knights Just Swept The Kings
Marc-André Fleury is dominating the NHL playoffs again, and the expansion Vegas Golden Knights are cruising to the second round for the first time ever in their first opportunity ever. Vegas beat the Kings 1-0 Tuesday night to sweep their opening round opponents, and they’re the first team to get a...
The Golden Knights Won't Be Pushed Around
Game 3 was going to be nasty, and the Golden Knights knew it. With the Kings down 2-0 and the series leaving Vegas, where the Knights have been so good at home (the “Vegas Flu” is real, but so is their home-crowd advantage), Los Angeles was going to come out pesty and physical, finishing their check...
Boxer Wears Anti-Immigrant Trunks, Gets Soundly Beaten By Mexican Opponent
American boxer Rod Salka lost a six-round bout to Mexican fighter Francisco Vargas last night. Salka, who is known for having been brutally knocked out by Danny Garcia in 2014, entered the ring wearing trunks with an anti-immigrant message. The top of Salka’s trunks had “AMERICA 1ST” written on them...
This Is What Playoff Hockey In Vegas Looks Like

Novak Djokovic Seems Salty About How Things Ended With Coach Andre Agassi
Over the weekend, Andre Agassi, who joined forces with 12-time grand slam winner Novak Djokovic last May in order to help the Serb get out of a deep slump, announced the two had parted ways....
William Karlsson's Shorthanded, Between-The-Legs Goal Is One Of The Year's Best<em></em>
The Vegas Golden Knights continue to make fools of us here at Deadspin, but it was Martin Jones who was on the losing end of the April Fools’ joke tonight as William Karlsson made an unassisted, shorthanded, between-the-legs goal to put the Sin City shockers up 3-2 on San Jose. Seriously, look at th...
The Golden Knights Made Me Look Stupid
In every life, a little shit must be eaten. Especially by sportswriters who think they know anything. Back in June, after the expansion draft, I encouraged everyone to look at the Vegas Golden Knights’ projected roster and wrote,...
So Uh Marc-Andre Fleury Could Be Out A While
This sounds potentially very not good for Marc-Andre Fleury and his Pacific-leading Vegas Golden Knights. The goaltender took a shot to the mask in the first period of Tuesday’s game, and did not return after intermission. And now head coach Gerard Gallant says Fleury is not traveling with the team,...
Joe McKnight's Killer Gets Sentenced To 30 Years In Prison
Ronald Gasser was sentenced to 30 years in prison Thursday by Jefferson Parish Judge Ellen Kovach for shooting and killing former NFL player Joe McKnight in Dec. 2016.
