Twitter is a cesspool of liberalism and government surveillance.
THE hockey GOD

Email me. I’m full for this week, but we can get you up next week. ken@sinbin.vegas
Richard Santomauro
Great thanks Ken.

My excitement is tempered this year I’m not expecting a whole lot. Good goalie equals trouble for the Knights. Surprised they haven’t released the game roster but as usual keeping everything close to the vest is there MO.
Richard Santomauro
This is what tonight’s lines are looking like, maybe jumble some between 3 and 4. The question is whether or not Carrier might play.
F1 – Stone, Stephenson, Patches
F2 – Smith, Karlsson, Marchy
F3 – Dugan, Patrick, Dadanov
F4 – Krebs, Kolesar, Dugan
D1 – Martinez, Pietroangelo
D2 – Theodore, McNabb
D3 – Coghlan, Whitecloud
G1 – Lehner
G2 – Brossoit
Scratch – Dorofeyev
Injured – Carrier, Janmark

Good trivia!! I only got 3 right. Maybe I should bitch less and pay more attention. LOL
Super excited about tonight. War VGK!!!!

BREAKING: The Las Vegas Raiders have FIRED Head Coach Jon Gruden over an email he sent a decade ago…
The world is off its’ rocker… Good Lord…
Blitz
I read alot of the things he said and I have to say I am NOT offended. Its dude talk and sure society has chosen to move away from some of that stuff in the last decade, but 10 years ago it was fine. To hammer someone 10 years later after moving the line of acceptance is insane.
I guess “sticks and stones” is no longer true, because words apparently hurt now.
THE hockey GOD
@blitz, Joe Biden did and said a whole lot worse than this. Is he resigning ?
Blitz
@THG – exactly, a whole lot worse!! 100%

then we would end up with giggles for prez
Pistol Pete
Glad he’s gone. His career W/L is weak. Didn’t see how the LV Raiders could ever win under him. An over-rated one SB winner.
Daryl
Wait, he’s won a SB and he’s overrated yet PDB hasn’t won anything yet everyone comes to his defense???
Richard Santomauro
I no longer follow the woke NFL or NBA.
The approach the NHL has taken to all of this is a bit more focused and not over the top. Protesting the flag or our anthem is misplaced ire. These things actually are the symbols of the progress our nation has made toward equal opportunity and the elimination of discrimination. Too many veterans have paid the ultimate sacrifice or have been maimed for life defending this country and the progress that it has made.
This cancel culture is a cancer on our society. To cancel someone over things said or written places us all in jeopardy. Let those who are totally innocent throw the first stone. I don’t see anyone bending to pick up a rock. Point made.
knights fan in minny
how sad you have players who abuse there wives or girlfriends they still play godell caved and went woke
Daryl
Our society is so sensitive…. We should be handing out maxi pads!!!

Not gonna lie, not a big fan of the “Coghlan as a forward” move they did last year and maybe even tonight (hinted at by sinbin twitter). It seems sooo bush league. You bypass all the guys that play forward, that your franchise has nurtured for that role, and go with a guy that never plays forward and isn’t even a starting d-man. That’s local rec league stuff right there.
Vic
Let’s go Brandon
THE hockey GOD
@Vic, I had to look that one up, getting slo on social media
Let’s Go Brandon refers to a viral video of NASCAR racer Brandon Brown speaking to NBC about winning the NASCAR Xfinity Series while the crowd chants “f Joe Biden,”>>>>>
which the newscaster claims is a chant of “let’s go Brandon” instead, seemingly as a form of damage control.>>>>>>oh my !!
The video went viral in October 2021 following numerous reports of people chanting “f Joe Biden” at sports events began surfacing around September in protest of President Biden and often to show support for Trump. In early October people started using the phrase in place of “f Joe Biden” to criticize and joke about the President.
I would like to hear that chant at VGK games, the best originality they come up with so far is SHAME SHAME SHAME, for opposing players in penalty box. Everything else is controlled by the VGK censors.

Nick Suzuki signs for 8 years at $63 million. Ouch again.

My projection for Vegas’ lineup tonight against Seattle:
Pacioretty—Stephenson—Stone
Marchessault—Karlsson—Smith
Krebs—Patrick—Dadonov
Dorofeyev—Kolesar—Coghlan
Martinez—Pietrangelo
McNabb—Theodore
Hague—Whitecloud
Lehner
Brossoit
wow total re vamp of last year’s line three and four, not good, They are going to get pwn’d tonight, wait for it. Oh wait, so are seattle’s line three and four. Should be interesting game and season. Half the forward group is not going to be in synch at all.
AT LEAST IT IS HOCKEY WEATHER !!!!
Vic
Game one and already coach is referring to the lineup issues and salary cap. Great way to start off.
THE hockey GOD
injuries and cap , theme of season, and crutch to lean on when things go south
knights fan in minny
drop the puck the greatest sport in the world opening night nothing better
LVsc
Carrier, Roy, Howden, Janmark, and Tuch all out injured
also, Granger said that Dorofeyev is in because his contract gives the Vgk the most cap advantage in getting the max cap benefit out of putting Tuch on LTIR
LVsc
the Vgk 4th line is a mess tonight, and will hopefully only get very limited, sheltered ice time, if PDB has any clue at all
Mike StG
For crying out loud people, there are FIVE bottom 6 forwards out with injury! NO TEAM has that many extra forwards on their NHL roster, as they don’t have cap room for it. Any team would have to use AHLers to fill out the roster.
Maybe let them at least PLAY the game first before glooming and dooming. Maybe also consider that this is a good thing, since it allows some young players to get NHL action and perhaps show that they’re ready or on the cusp. This is exactly what Ken was talking about – using the regular season to experiment and see what good might develop. In this case that’s what is happening, although it was forced on the FO by injuries.
Blitz
I’m not sure any one is freaking out. I don’t remember though, there is a lot of posts above, so maybe you are right. My ONLY beef with the line up is Cogs in for a forward. It’s so beer league. Where are the call up guys for this spot. I would have no problem w/ Kolesar and 2 HSK guys in this situation, but instead they use a 7th dman to fill the forward spot. He will probably get like 2 min on L4 and a few shift on the D. They will rotate L1-3 guys to make a 4th line, I am guessing. I am 100% sure it is a cap/call up formality, I just hate it. I actually really like seeing young guys crack the line up thru the season, just not this busch league dman as a forward thing.
