Recap: The Golden Knights hosted the newly formed Utah Hockey Club for their third exhibition game of the preseason. Both teams were limited in the 1st period, combining for only nine shots on net. Vegas goaltender Adin Hill did his job and turned away every chance from Utah. After the opening 20 minutes the game remained scoreless.
The offense picked up as both teams swapped goals in the middle frame. Utah struck first on the power play, but Vegas answered minutes later with their own PP goal off the stick of Alex Pietrangelo. The Hockey Club regained their lead but 70 seconds later Jack Eichel evened the score. Through 40 minutes the match was locked in a 2-2 tie.
Vegas quickly doubled their lead, scoring twice in the opening seven minutes of the final frame. Pavel Dorofeyev recorded his first preseason goal and Keegan Kolesar registered his thirty seconds later. The Golden Knights finished off HC when Eichel found Ivan Barbashev in front of the net to make it 5-2.
The Golden Knights will hit the ice on Tuesday night in Colorado. Vegas will face the Avalanche in a home-and-home situation. Puck drop in Denver is scheduled for 6:30PM PT. (Recap by Jason)
Analysis: The game took a while to get going but once it did it appeared the Utah players were more interested in hitting Golden Knights than playing hockey. Tons of penalties and general preseason sloppiness led to a fairly ragged game. Some of VGK’s best players stepped up and did what they could to help get a win. (Recap by Ken)
Ken’s Three VGK Stars
*** Tanner Laczynski
** Alex Pietrangelo
* Jack Eichel
3 takeaways from the game, presented by @dotvegasinc
1) Tanner Laczynski just keeps doing good things. He’s making a real case to stick around.
2) Alex Pietrangelo scored from the high slot on the power play. There’s a chance he’s slipped to #3 on the PP QB depth chart. Scoring… pic.twitter.com/pOytoPRDdP— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) September 28, 2024
Tanner Laczynski with another forecheck play that leads directly to a goal. He's still got some work to do but he's heading towards "can't keep this guy off the roster" territory.

Take recency bias out of it as Pietrangelo just scored moments ago. Who is the best power play quarterback on the VGK roster?

Every commercial break on Scripps nothing but left wing communist propaganda. Had to shut off the TV and spend time with the kids.

Yeah Democrats are obviously breaking campaign donation laws because they are corrupt filthy communists. They have a ridiculous amount of money to flood the country with campaign adds, probably money funneled from American tax payers through Ukraine. Luckily Kamala is too dumb and even less likeable than Hillary I think the American public are sick and tired it.

did you happen to catch the report from ice how many rapers and murder’s the veggie jo has let in the usa it should make your blood boil but the bias news stations will not report it fear of making giggles’ look bad

Jack Eichel is really good. I love Marchy but when he finishes with about 25 goals instead of 42 this year it will be even more obvious just how good Eichel is.
Tim
I just love the Utah uniform design and colors real sharp.
knights fan in minny
thinking the same thing pretty cool
ThG
do you like vanilla Tim?
do you like sharks too ?
they are copy cats, like your buddy heels-up harris.
What is color pattern difference between the Sharks and Utah uniform design ?
The Utah Hockey Club, what’s a club ?
Jose
I agree Tim. I like the vertical lettering. Reminds me of both the New York Rangers and team USA jerseys of the past.
Larry
I love Marchy’s grit determination and drive….and pouring his heart out for VGK on and off the ice…however when he realizes…though likely will not accept being a small fish in a big pond that currently is nashville…. and scores 22 goals this season as a soon to be 34 year old… it will once again prove the Front Office made the correct BUSINESS decision!
ThG
MArchy made the call, not the FO
Larry.
Larry
It was a combination of all involved..but bottom line it will prove to be the right call for VGK….for Marchy financially…but not for nashville when they cut him loose in a year or two.
Hdbiker7851
It will be interesting reading when and if Marchy proves you all wrong. The guy did what was best for him and if family, he displayed the same type of loyalty as the FO – none, it’s all to do with business. Actually the guy who got the best deal was Stephenson. Good money many years. A good old Saskatchewan boy.
Larry
Biker… you are right…. It WAS about business .. and the proper business decision was reached.
Jose
Hdbiker7851, Will it be as interesting a read as when Eichel proved everybody wrong who said he was a cancer. I’m still waiting for people to admit they were wrong there. The sound of silence.
Jose
Marchy gave everything he had for the VGK and if and when a Golden Knights Hall of Fame ever exists he would be likely be the first inductee.
Larry
Jose…. Agreed!!

Robin Lehner assets frozen amid allegations of frivolous spending
A federal bankruptcy judge froze the assets of Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner on Thursday after lawyers for one of the largest creditors in his bankruptcy case alleged the former star has engaged in frivolous spending and made improper fund transfers.
A filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas by attorneys representing creditor Aliya Growth Fund claims the company is worried it won’t receive the nearly $4.8 million Lehner and his wife, Donya Lehner, owe it because they have been transferring money from their bank accounts to non-creditors, including shell companies with apparent Dubai ties.
The filing also claims the Lehners spent $1.5 million on gambling, vacations and luxury purchases following the couple’s bankruptcy filing in December 2022.
Lehner received $6 million from his Knights contract from the 2023-24 NHL season, which Aliya’s lawyers claim the Lehners have already spent or transferred to avoid paying debts incurred.
“Despite Lehner receiving $6 million under his NHL contract for the 2023-24 NHL season, it appears the vast majority of such funds have already been spent or transferred to third parties,” the court filing read. “Sufficient evidence exists to show that Mr. Lehner is transferring and dissipating assets in an attempt to avoid paying fraudulently incurred debts to creditors, including millions of dollars owed AGF and the other creditors.”
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Natalie Cox granted the creditor’s application to freeze the Lehners’ assets, outside of $25,000 per month for living expenses and legal fees. Stipulations of the order also don’t allow the Lehners to move money around to financial institutions outside of the U.S. or to sell off assets to other family members, including Robin’s father, Michael Lehner, with whom he owns a business.
In July, the Lehners saw one case closed tied to their Chapter 7 bankruptcy, in which they owe creditors a total of $27.3 million. A case involving RSMP Finding LLC was closed July 2 after the Lehners agreed to repay nearly $3 million to the company, which will be paid back via garnishing multiple sources of income for the couple, including Robin Lehner’s NHL contract.
The Lehners also owe $4 million in loans to Las Vegas businessman Michael Borden, and Robin Lehner was sued for $4 million by Eclipse Service Inc., a Wisconsin-based HVAC company tied to the goalie’s solar-based company, Solarcode.
Lehner has not played an NHL game since April 20, 2022, because of shoulder and hip injuries that required surgery. He has been on long-term injured reserve the past two seasons.

The Lehner Shell Game, like the infamous street- cons..Where’s the Money, Walrus??

the first goal petro knocked him over, Hill was getting his feet tangled all night long. His timing was off, needs work. But it was his first game, so I give him a pass.
So far Samsonoff technique in net gets nod at this point. Samsonoff, is that a product line ? Get your Samsonoff table top and piano cleaner here, with the lemon scent that lasts longer. Samson supersmoothie gives you the strength of ten men , to start your morning off-it’s Samson protein powder mix, good for all ages. Even your dog will like it !
You could hear the PA announcer in background making fun of the Utah -hockey- club (>>?) all night long. Pretty amateurish in my opinion. What will they do when VGK goes up to the Salt mine.
Meanwhile the Utah Salt Miners, Hockey Club, brought a AA goalie who had problems keeping his five hole shut most of the night based upon close review of the replay goals. Of is it the Utah Ice Dogs? Utah “Ice” Hockey Club ? Utah Blizzard ? (now that is one hell of a cool name, too bad the yokels in Utah name namers don’t get it yet. If you have the AVS, then you certainly can have the BLIZ ! Or Utah White outs (oh no, Soros cancel culture morons are going to call the RACE CARD ) , Utah Ice Breakers ? You traditionalist may like a team named after a tree (or syrup, like Toronto ) So how about the Utah Junipers ? then you have the bird group names like Cardinals, or Blue Jackets (wait that is bug isn’t it?) Red Wings, how about the Utah Black Crows (isn’t there a band named this), then not to say last but not least how about native American theme (hey we have the Black Hawks, Indians, Souix, Red Skins). how about the Utah Goshute (get it Go shoot it ?),.
They have a long way to go before they are a real team, a team without a nickname is a lost team. A team without an identity. A team that has no feeling, or spirit. It’s like that team in the Great American Novel, that lost it’s home field and played all it’s home games on the road.

happy Saturday all

Olafsson on the wing with Jack and Barby looks like a solid combo, as Olafsson just has to get his goalscoring confidence to return with his blistering shot. ps, he needs to be in the right circle shooting onetimers on the PP, as that is what they did successfully in Buffalo. He should NOT be in the left circle on the PP.
and once again, for the 3rd time in a row, I can say that the Tanners add depth to this team. They need to be a part of this Vgk season.
