Jonathan Marchessault Was Trapped In The Penalty Box
Here’s Vegas Golden Knights center Jonathan Marchessault trying desperately to exit the penalty box in the third period of last night’s game against Carolina, as boxmate David Perron tries to yank the door open and the officials seemingly argue about whether he should be freed or not. This seems lik...
Pierre-Édouard Bellemare Turns The <em></em>Canadiens Into Little Orange Cones<em></em>
The Vegas Golden Knights have surprisingly emerged as one of the NHL’s more fun teams in the opening portion of the season, and winger Pierre-Édouard Bellemare gave them another great moment in the first period tonight against Montreal....
The Vegas Golden Knights Inexplicably Just Keep Winning
I think I’ve sort of avoided writing about them, because it all seems too deeply weird to be real, let alone to be anything close to sustainable, but there’s really no other option but to acknowledge it now: The Vegas Golden Knights, by pure winning percentage if not quite by points, have the best r...
Hey Look It's Hockey In Vegas
Maybe admitting to this makes me a bad sports-knower, but until starting this post I had forgotten every single member of the Vegas Golden Knights not named Marc-Andre Fleury. (I do remember that they’re going to be downright awful in their inaugural season, which is fine, that’s what expansion team...
Wow The Golden Knights Are Going To Be Bad
There are two schools of thought when compiling an expansion team. One is to go get the very best players available, believing that the best way to build a foundation for a team and a fanbase is to be as competitive as you can and give fans a reason to get and stay invested. Another is to be as awfu...
Here Are Your 2017-18 Vegas Golden Knights
While the Vegas Golden Knights’ roster already leaked out earlier over the course of the afternoon, the NHL Awards gave the league a platform to (very, very gradually and awkwardly) announce the results of the team’s expansion draft....
The Vegas Golden Knights' Uniforms Are Pretty OK
Last night’s unveiling ceremony gave us our first look at the uniforms for the expansion Vegas Golden Knights, and my official verdict is: Not That Bad....
Why Did The Red Wings Expose Petr Mrazek?<em></em>
While I’m still unenthused about the idea of the new Vegas Golden Knights actually playing their games, I’ve been giddy as hell about the drama surrounding the expansion draft. Nothing is more entertaining than watching a highly paid GM make a dumb move, and with 30 teams involved in a fairly comple...
For The Next Two Days, This Is The Most Powerful Man In Hockey
The list of players protected from Wednesday’s draft to stock the expansion Vegas Golden Knights is out, and conversely—and most importantly—the list of unprotected players. The Golden Knights could enter the NHL with a perfectly fine team, but from all indications, GM George McPhee won’t be satisfi...
Here's The Only Member Of The Vegas Golden Knights Playing Soccer Alone In An Empty Arena
The Vegas Golden Knights will participate in an expansion draft in June in order to begin their first-ever NHL season this October. But they didn’t wait until the draft to begin acquiring players—three weeks ago, they signed 21-year-old Reid Duke on an entry-level deal out of the Western Hockey Leag...
Golden Knights Owner Wishes Las Vegas Didn't Spend $750 Million On The Raiders
It is very NHL to be pioneers in opening up Las Vegas to pro sports, and then to become second-class citizens in their own market before a puck is dropped. But that’s what happened this week when the NFL approved the Raiders’ relocation to Vegas, where they figure to be the hottest ticket in town. V...
Do You See Gray Or Blue In The Vegas Golden Knights Logo?
This is the logo for the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights, as you may or may not already know. According to the franchise, the team’s new color scheme features four colors: steel gray, gold, black, and red. But some of us see a different color....
Vegas Golden Knights, Eh?
That up there is the logo of the Vegas Golden Knights, definitely a huge improvement on the “PLACE HOLDER” graphic that greeted fans who turned out for last night’s botched unveiling of the newest NHL team’s name, logo, and colors. But is the whole package any good? It’s time to have opinions....
The NHL's Vegas Team Name Announcement Was A Mess
The previously unnamed Las Vegas NHL team held an event tonight and revealed that they will henceforth be known as the Vegas Golden Knights. Owner Bill Foley and commissioner Gary Bettman talked a bunch and eventually made the announcement, but there wasn’t much suspense, as the pool had already bee...
