Recap: The Golden Knights were trying to remain undefeated in 2025 with a victory over the visiting New York Islanders. Vegas thought they had taken a 1-0 lead seven minutes into the game off a Tomas Hertl power play goal, but it was reviewed, and Hertl was ruled offside. Ten minutes later the Islanders opened the scoring and went into the opening intermission leading 1-0.
New York had several early chances to start the middle frame and cashed in at the five-minute mark. The Islanders extended their lead to 3-0 at the midway point of the 2nd period.
The Islanders continued to frustrate the Golden Knights in the final period. Vegas pulled Adin Hill with four minutes left in the game but New York sealed the game with an empty net score.
The Golden Knights record drops to 28-10-3 falling to the Islanders 4-0. Vegas will remain home for two upcoming games this weekend. Puck drop against the New York Rangers is scheduled for Saturday at 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)
Analysis: VGK appeared to go ahead after dominating the first 10 minutes or so and scoring on the power play. But, an offside challenge took the goal away and seemed to sap all of the energy out of the Golden Knights. From there they struggled with puck management, were second on far too many loose pucks, and couldn’t get the puck to the center of the ice enough offensively. (Analysis by Ken)

Not VGK's night from the waved-off goal to the end.

VGK are not getting enough in the dangerous area of the ice offensively since the first 8 minutes of the game. Just one high danger chance in the 2nd while trailing. Not good enough.

VGK chasing now. Chasing behind the net, chasing to the guy coming down the slot. Just behind in every way on that play. 3-0 NYI

Game 41 Analysis VGK 0, NYI 4
Pacific 1st Place 28-10-3, 59pts, +32gf/ga
Western 1st Place, The Jets play tomorrow and could jump to 1st
League 1st Place, see above, Caps also could jump over us
The VGK appeared to tank after a 1st period goal was reversed due to off sides. After that it was mostly a snore-fest.
Next up, the Rangers who beat the Devils at home today 3-2.
NYR 19-20-2, 40pts, -10gf/ga, 6th place in the Met, 24th in the league
This Rangers team is dangerous and has had problems living up to their potential. We will be welcoming Reilly Smith back to the Fortress. Smith has 20pts, 8 goals 12 assists.
Pistol Pete
Tough loss however so too for the Oilers in Pittsburgh. Hoping for a bounce back on Saturday against the Rangers however they will be coming in here trying to follow up an OT win against Jersey. Hopefully Barbashev and Roy will be back.
DL
May dominate the West
Not so versus the East
That could be concerning
TS
DL, my concern as well. Facing the big teams from the East will be a real test..no bottom feeders there to roll over.
Pistol Pete
Only really matters in the SC finals. I get your point though. If they are rolling over weaker teams and struggling against better ones it’s concerning. In the end all that matters is making the playoffs and then playing your best hockey.
Pistol Pete
If they do make the playoffs there will be some very tough rounds in the west. Really the East factor before the SC finals really does not matter much other than getting wins for the regular season.
TS
Pp, true. But at this stage of the season, we need to show these teams we aren’t just Western Patsies, as others are. The West has had that ‘weak ‘reputation through the years, so we sure don’t want to feed the beasts in the East!
larry
An aberrational clunker….it happens….based on some of the players in the lineup its more a tribute to Cassidy and the coaching staff that it hasnt happened more frequently during Roy nd Barby being out for 10 games which is 25% of the season to date.
ThG
Been saying same thing for weeks Larry.
Larry
At least the blamers weren’t directing their ire at Hill who had about a zero chance of saving those open point blank shots!
Pistol Pete
Always supportive of McCrimmon and having sat on the edge of my seat for months hoping he could pull off the trade I enjoy watching this every so often all the more now that Eichel appears to approaching his peak (hopefully he stays there for years) and is the team’s biggest difference maker. Sorry for reposting this but some may not have seen it and others may welcome a re-viewing. Any way, enjoy!

I was kinda upset the 2nd & 3rd lines kept fighting
for posession and when they got it they would
IMMEDIATELY dump the puck in…..infuriating!
Pistol Pete
Nice article with McCrimmon in The Athletic. Not by Jesse Granger this time surprisingly.
“Well, Jack is one of the very best players in the league,” McCrimmon said. “He leads at his position (with) his two-way game. As time has gone, he’s assumed more of a leadership role. He elevates the people around him. Just a great hockey player right in the prime of his career.”
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6049649/2025/01/10/golden-knights-nhl-elite-kelly-mccrimmon/?source=user_shared_article
Pistol Pete
More a puck mover, distributor, set-up guy and now a defender than a pure goal scorer, Eichel still sports an enviable career .38 goals a game or 31 goals per 82 games. If he has a weakness it could be that he sometimes passes at the expense of shooting a goal.
Tim
You can’t win them all last night we just weren’t at our best. I agree when that goal was called back for some reason it took the heart out of the team. Roy and Barby close which is good news although the replacements have played well.
Pistol Pete
It was a closer game than the score shows.Isles can be a pain in the rear end too.

Off sides call cost team the mo. Many shots were not high danger chances. And their goalie was better than our goalie in clutch stops. Pavel another minus three game, often out of position to receive passes. Also no. 70 had terrible game too. Bad pass to a player not ready, bad back check miss.

riend,
President Trump had some words of motivation for our new GOP Senate majority as they work to outsmart and outwork the Democrats to confirm President Trump’s nominees:
“We have a Country to run and many big problems to solve, mostly created by Democrats. REPUBLICANS, BE SMART AND TOUGH!!!” – President Trump
TS
In other words, CHEAT! Buy a few SCOTUS judges, and nothing can stop us!!
George V
Another post by mr know nothing, SC justices aren’t bought. MOE !
It appears that you are the site’s clown.
The only person promoting hate and abuse is you Tweaker S. Hypocrite. It’s pretty obvious.
Only person promoting hate and rancor is you TS
or as someone just called you “Tweaker S” , why don’t you take your hate down the road. You have nothing to offer here. NOTHING. You appear to cyber stalk the same person over and over. That is sign of severe mental illnes.
Yet again.
It appears to many of us that ALL YOU DO is come on this site to trash the same poster over and over, after they make hockey comments on another poster’s comment. It’s getting old. You never make any positive input in these exchanges. People here are sick of you bashing the same person over and over just because they don’t agree with another poster’s comments. Your posts are always the same with nothing absolutely added. It’s getting tiresome, why don’t you give it rest. And NO this isn’t about “if the other person does this or that” then “you will do this or that”. This is ABOUT YOU. And your posts are making you look terrible.
You know your constant comments AFTER one poster here is tiresome. Why don’t you give it a rest. No one comes to this site to see you post the same repetitive garbage that you do after they post. Your posts are basically meaningless. Why don’t you focus on hockey, seems like you have a clear behavior disorder that transcends normalcy. Take a good look in mirror because you are not doing yourself any favors.
TS
OOH, LOOKY! Georgie miraculously appears with his Rinse and Repeat defense of his creator, right after Thq posts his own.BS!!
TS
Honey, i focus on hockey until you Maggots post your Political Porn. Consider the source, moron.
TS
Georgie/ THQ:
No? ?? SCOTUS judges can’t be bought?? Ask Clarence Thomas about his life of bribes, free trips, free homes, free cash– all in exchange for his favorable rulings in related cases.
Ask the genius Amy Barrett, hand- picked to rule in Trumpland’s favor
, which led to Trump’s Immunity Ruling, which we all know has saved his sorry ass from Prison. And why did Scalia take a call with Trump the other day?? If judges can’t be bought, why is TRUMP contacting him??
Every court in America has a Code of Ethics, and some form of oversight, to keep them HONEST.
Yet, curiously, not so for SCOTUS judges..
What could possibly go wrong, but BOUGHT- AND- PAID- FOR JUDGES????

Richie-Rich
When Donald Trump was younger the leftists loved him, embraced him and promoted him. There’s plenty of video evidence out there of liberals pushing him to run for the Presidency. Liberal politicians, their owned media propaganda sites (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NY TIMES and others).
Then all of a sudden when he came down the escalator to announce his run …. AS A REPUBLICAN …. the once praised DJT, their champion became as evil as Satan. It’s been over 10 years now of lies, character destruction, fake charges of Russian collusion, false charges, and law fare.
All of this hasn’t worked. They used to call Bill Clinton “Teflon Bill”. I actually believe that Clinton and Trump were the two best Presidents since Ronald Reagan. I am no fan of Benghazi Uranium 1 Hillary, but Bill worked with Gingrich and they actually ran the only budget surplus in his second term.
So, the American people have had to suffer for 23 of the past 35 years under the worst of the worst leadership (Bush 41 (4), Bush 43 (8), Obama (8), and Biden (4).
The Democrats became the party of Global Socialist Warmongers, the party of hatred and division, the party of the illegal immigrant, the party of mental illness (trans), the party of child mutilation, the party of crime, the party of sexually depraved content in our schools, the party of the refugee, the party of total government control. Democrat faithful have to wonder how their party has fallen so far so fast. It’s no wonder that they scream. They scream not only because they are losing, but because they lost the popular vote, the Republicans have made massive gains in Blue States and Cities, and they scream because they don’t understand how their party has thrown away all of the good values that it once stood for.
knights fan in minny
well said rich
TS
Are those good values anything like the lifetime of crime, corruption, theft, tax and bank fraud, bribery, insurrection and treason values of your man Trump?THOSE values?? Come on, man..VALUES??
knights fan in minny
values are just a word if the don gets the job done who cares
Richie-Rich
Don’t put words into my post that come from the delusional stories made up and force fed into your brain by the leftist propaganda media. The point I was making, which you clearly did not address in your response, is that the entire Democrat Party and all of the Hollywood leftist elites were pushing for a Trump Presidency. But, they thought he’d run as a Democrat Leftist.
All of the things that you mention are made up stories that were false and came out after he announced his run as a Republican.
You will have a lot more success pushing back on ThG. The emotional outbursts between you two are actually embarrassing. Don’t think for minute that you can go toe to toe with me on politics or the past ten years of Trump specifically.
You can’t.
TS
RR, Your bravado means zero to me. I was a Republican for 30 years before i changed parties. I know BOTH sides of the aisle. And the blind allegiance to the most corrupt POTUS in history should be an embarrassment to ALL Americans, especially seasoned REPUBS like you. Odd that you had NO issues with Thq and HIS constant Political Porn. That is until some of us OBJECTED to his BS! Very curious. The Cult of Trump is very strong in my former party. And make no mistake: it’ a CULT
i am unapologetic about my disappointment and distaste at fellow Americans who have been sucked into Trump’s Cult/ Dictatorship, with Musk being America’s first Oligarch. History will show the dangers the Corrupt One posed to the world. He showed us all his 1st term, yet you voted to bring him BACK to wreak havoc for another 4 years!
THG is but a clown. Twisted. A
True Trump CULTIST. I had thought you were a reasonable Repub, but your ongoing posts since the election show your TRUE Trump colors. All this political rancor has a name: it’s called the ” Trump Effect”. This shit was fomented by the hate and rancor that Trump has caused, not only in America, but globally. The world is on a knife’s edge. They detest the Orange Man and wonder WTF has hpnd in our country, how we would/ could allow such a corrupt criminal to lead us. Read the History books in a decade. See what is written about the traitor- in- chief. Mark my words.
Richie-Rich
Actually, as a former Ron Paul supporter, I am not a big Trump fan. He’s not a fiscal conservative, and he certainly is not a strict Constitutionalist. That is my eventual hope for political leadership in America. In the meantime, Trump is exactly what this nation needs as a wake up call to the incompetence, corruption, warmongering, and woke mind virus that has been causing the hatred and division.
Not many know, or care, that the LA Fire Department is led by not one, not two, but three lesbian women. I am not against gays and lesbians, I served with them in the Navy. They were just as good as any of the heterosexual sailors I served with.
BUT, 3 lesbians rising to the top of one of the largest Fire Departments in the nation is nothing more than the woke mind virus that is taking hold across the country.
Meet the people in charge of LA’s fire response.
All of them lesbians named Kristin.
Kristina Crowley – First LGBTQ Fire Chief LAFD.
Salary: $439,722
Kristina Kepner – First Lesbian Assistant Chief LAFD.
Salary: $264,468
Kristine Larson – First black lesbian Equity Bureau Chief LAFD.
Salary: $399,000
I have heard Kristina Crowley, she sounds competent. But that third lesbian, Kristine Larson – being paid a salary of nearly $400,000 as the Equity Bureau Chief LAFD. It’s exactly this sort of nonsense that Republicans will no longer tolerate. We will be just as vocal, and just as loud (without all of the CAPS) in our disgust.
The Democrat Party has lost its way. It is a cancer on our nation, and Trump is the chemotherapy that it needs.
Day 1:
(1) Close the border and start deportations
(2) End funding to the Department of UnEducation
(3) End funding and support for expanding NATO into Ukraine
(4) Issue pardons for all non-violent J6ers, and issue a warrant for the arrest of Captain Michael Byrd for the murder of Ashli Babbitt on J6.
(5) Make the Trump tax cuts permanent and use reconciliation in the Senate to do it in order to bypass the filibuster.
(6) Begin investigations (DOJ/FBI) into all of those involved in the Russia hoax, Burisma, and the Biden Crime Family operations.
(7) Investigate all incidents of 2020 election fraud and bring those who committed crimes to justice.
(8) Begin working on reducing the federal bureaucracy by working on the priority list from the Department of Government Efficiency Committee.
(9) Fast track every Trump nominee to the major offices.
(10) Remove every partisan political appointee from every department and agency.
TS
Trump’s lifetime of corruption and crime was NOT when he changed parties. He was corruot his entire adult life, both as a Dem and a Repub. Crime and Corruption knows no Party. There are corrupt politicians everywhere. Our POTUS should NOT be one of them..Just how LOW have Americans fallen, when they would vote for a such a flawed, corrupt, man like Trump?? What does that say abput America??. Ask any European.
Ask Treudeau. Ask Zelenski. Ask Nato. Ask our allies. Ask our enemies.
Richie-Rich
Liberal Hollywood leftists thought that their monetary and block support for Democrats would at least keep them and their communities safe. Surely, the Party would ensure that they would be protected. Right? Well guess, what? They found out that Democrat politicians are incompetent and only give a shit about themselves and their corrupt criminal families.
Dean Cain and many other conservative Hollywood elites are saying that there will be a tectonic shift to the right in Hollywood with a few exceptions. Mark Wahlberg’s wife blasted Newscum for giggling and laughing while on site during an interview. Jason Bateman’s sister has come out and demanded that Karen Bass and Governor Newsom resign in shame.
2024 is going to be a historic year for the United States. It is going to be marked in history as the date the Democrat Party imploded. Good riddance.

. Biden’s biggest crime?. He got old and feeble, unable to seek a second term. His SON had a drug problem, didn’t pay taxes. (Fyi: Hunter is NOT POTUS. )Wonder how many regular Americans have had those problems?? In contrast, how many Americans have planned, conspired with and incited an UNPRECEDENTED attack on our OWN government??? There is no comparison!

Not only did I vote for him, I am a member of the Clark County Republican Party and a Precinct Captain. I love my country and what Democrats have done to this country and world sickens me. I walked numerous precincts and donated to Republicans here in Nevada. But, I am not a blind voter. I actually left the Republican Party in 2007. Bush 41 and 43 were awful. I became a Ron Paul conservative Constitutionalist. Now, don’t get me wrong. Trump is not a conservative. But he loves his country and like me is sickened by what Democrats and NeoCons have done to it. Clinton and Trump have been the best two Presidents we have had since Reagan. I didn’t even return to the Republican Party until 2021. After watching 39 states violate the Constitution by certifying electors illegally, I rejoined the Republican Party. The 2020 election was illegally run in 39 states because the means and methods for the Presidential election were not in accordance with the laws passed by their State Legislatures. Every single vote that did not meet those means and methods were cast illegally. Sadly, the Supreme Court failed in its responsibility to uphold the Constitution and declared that the lawsuits filed by 19 states to be invalid without standing. We are now a nation that operates lawlessly and unconstitutionally. In 9 days, that all changes and those responsible for crimes should be held accountable.
TS
RR, it was called the Global Pandemic. The entire GLOBE was upended in the new reality of COVID. Remember COVID?? This time in history was unprecedented, unexpected, uncontrolled DEATH and suffering for ALL humanity. If Trump had acted early on, instead of spending months in denial, we woukd have recovered much sooner..BUT TGE ORANGE MAN SAT ON.HIS HANDS IN DENIAL
HE DID NOTHING. HE EVEN SIDELINED THE REAL EXPERTS, AND INSTEAD HE CONTINUED TO LIE TO US ALL. The 2020 election and all the controversy surrounding it was because of COVID and the necessary restrictions. Were voters required to risk their lives to vote in person?? Of course not,..and we all found a way to still vote, by mailing pur ballots or dropping themin a box. NO Dem conspiracy, unless you believe Dems caused COVID to screw Trump!
Richie-Rich
Trump did act right away. He stopped all flights from China. Don’t your recall Nancy Pelosi walking around China Town telling everyone that there was no pandemic and that everything was fine?
Regardless, the Constitution was violated and every single vote that was cast that did not meet the law for the means and methods by State Legislatures WAS INVALID. Therefore the electoral count was invalid!
We are now in a post-Constitution nation without the rule of law to govern our elections. The Supreme Court failed the nation.
The 2020 election was a complete shitshow in PA, GA, MI, WI, AZ and NV. The actual remedy was in place.
Since the election was FUBAR, it would have come down to the House to select the President and the Senate to select the Vice President. That is what SHOULD have happened in 2020.
TS
Trump loves two things: Money and Fame. He only likes something or someone if it benefits him.financially. He’s the Deal Guy. The Art of the Deal and all that. If it benefits him personally. financially, he’s ALL IN!! He loves only himself. He loves his counyry NOW because he WON. when he LOST in ’20, he hated America! He blasted America the past 4 years, blasting the “SHITHOLE”, calling America a LOSER. Yeah, right, he just loves loves loves our country, but ONLY only if he WINS.
