Vegas Golden Knights Jersey History

Vegas Golden Knights Jersey History

August 1st, 2020 The Vegas Golden Knights are a paradox. For one, they’re an ice hockey team based in the desert. The National Hockey League’s success – or lack thereof – in such markets doesn’t exactly inspire great confidence (see: Coyotes, Arizona). Plus, the Golden Knights were the first major professional sports team to call Las Vegas...
Vegas Golden Knights Turning Assets Into Stars

Vegas Golden Knights Turning Assets Into Stars

March 16th, 2019 When Las Vegas was granted the 31st NHL franchise, general manager George McPhee knew this would be no ordinary expansion draft. The game has changed immensely since the last expansion. The game is a lot faster, it requires more skill, and with the growth of hockey in general, there are a lot more players who can play the game at a high...
The Vegas Expansion Draft: One Year Later

The Vegas Expansion Draft: One Year Later

June 7th, 2018 Less than a year ago, the Vegas Golden Knights were still a fuzzy picture with a front office and coaching staff in place but without a roster. That changed on June 21 when Vegas announced their Expansion Draft picks and the team came together. Now, with Vegas beating expectations and reaching the Stanley Cup Final in year one, it's...
Golden Knights Success Embarrasses Rest of NHL

Golden Knights Success Embarrasses Rest of NHL

May 28th, 2018 The inaugural season of the Vegas Golden Knights has been the greatest underdog story that the NHL has ever seen in its 100 years of existence. There were doubts at every step of the journey that they could overcome that next obstacle in their path, but each and every time they defied expectations. When they made the playoffs in their...
To Outsiders, Vegas Is a Must-Watch

To Outsiders, Vegas Is a Must-Watch

December 24th, 2017 Last Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena was a night to remember. Not just for Golden Knights fans (or Lightning fans, sadly), but for hockey fans across North America. For the middle of December, this was the closest we’ve gotten to playoff hockey in Nevada. But it wasn't just that Vegas beat the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 4-3....
Chuck Fletcher Has a Hazy Future in Minnesota

Chuck Fletcher Has a Hazy Future in Minnesota

December 17th, 2017 Minnesota Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher may not be on the hot seat in MN just yet, but his chair is getting warmer. Salary cap issues, bad trades, and untimely injuries are hindering the team's ability to improve. Let’s look at some of Fletcher's deals affecting the team in the context of the current season. Expansion...
Meet the Golden Knights: Erik Haula

Meet the Golden Knights: Erik Haula

September 6th, 2017 Happy September, Vegas Golden Knights fans. This is the month. Finally. Our favorite local team today, tomorrow, and forever, is finally hitting the ice. We're just over two weeks out from Vegas meeting Vancouver in preseason action. Twelve days later, we get to see the team ourselves at T-Mobile Arena. Yes, this season I intend to take...
Meet the Golden Knights: Nate Schmidt

Meet the Golden Knights: Nate Schmidt

August 22nd, 2017 Our mission to introduce you to the Vegas Golden Knights is now eight entries deep. We've covered plenty of forwards, head coach Gerard Gallant, and a pair of netminders. Today we'll tackle our first defenseman, and he's a good one. Nate Schmidt is arguably the most important blueliner on the inaugural Vegas roster. The selection of...
Meet the Golden Knights: David Perron

Meet the Golden Knights: David Perron

August 11th, 2017 David Perron, welcome to the Vegas Golden Knights. Fans of the newest NHL franchise are likely going to seek out names that they are familiar with as their loyalty grows for the league's 31st team. Perron isn't the most recognizable name on the roster, but he's on the short list. He's bounced around the league considerably, so it's...
Meet the Golden Knights: Jonathan Marchessault

Meet the Golden Knights: Jonathan Marchessault

August 5th, 2017 Hunker down while we ride out monsoon season fellow local, and do some more learning on the Vegas Golden Knights, the first and only "Big Four" professional sports franchise in Southern Nevada. Yeah, I know the Raiders are coming. But they're not here yet. And if Golden Knights owner Bill Foley is to be believed, by the time they get...
Meet the Golden Knights: Calvin Pickard

Meet the Golden Knights: Calvin Pickard

July 29th, 2017 I know what you're thinking. When it comes to goaltending options for the Vegas Golden Knights the story begins and ends with Marc-Andre Fleury. We told you about him on Friday, and he is undeniably the face of the franchise. Vegas fans will see another netminder next season though, and he may be the one still in a Golden Knights sweater...
Meet the Golden Knights: Marc-Andre Fleury

Meet the Golden Knights: Marc-Andre Fleury

July 28th, 2017 You want star power? The Vegas Golden Knights have star power. In net at least. The NHL's 31st franchise is less than two months away from hitting the ice for the first time. I doubt any NHL city has the buzz that Las Vegas has for three preseason games. While there's a lot that can happen between now and then in the way of roster...
Vegas Fans Tasked With Balancing Enthusiasm, Patience

Vegas Fans Tasked With Balancing Enthusiasm, Patience

July 13th, 2017 In 66 days, NHL hockey in Las Vegas becomes real. The Golden Knights will travel to Vancouver to meet the Canucks in the first of six games on their preseason slate. Nine days later, on September 26th, Vegas gets its first opportunity to compete on its home ice. VGK hosts the Los Angeles Kings followed by the Colorado Avalanche and...
Panthers' Case Against Marchessault

Panthers' Case Against Marchessault

July 6th, 2017 Now that the dust of National Hockey League expansion has settled, the Vegas Golden Knights seem set to begin play with a pair of former Florida Panthers in their forward corps. Florida stunned the hockey world with their expansion draft protection list, exposing young scoring forwards Reilly Smith and Jonathan Marchessault. The...
Methot Expected Golden Knights Quick Flip

Methot Expected Golden Knights Quick Flip

June 28th, 2017 Few offseason events produce the kind of drama we witnessed at last week's NHL Expansion Draft in Las Vegas, Nevada. Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley and general manager George McPhee announced the names selected by the League's 31st franchise and were met with cheers. Mostly. There were also some murmurs of confusion from fans in...
