Recap: The Golden Knights hosted the Washington Capitals looking to break their three-game losing streak. Vegas’ offense came out hot scoring two goals in the opening 7:36 of the game. Alec Martinez wristed in his 1st goal of the season and Nic Roy added his 9th. After 20 minutes the Golden Knights carried a 2-0 lead into the 1st intermission.
Vegas’ offensive continued firing in the middle frame. Michael Amadio, Byron Froese and Paul Cotter all scored 2nd period goals to give the Golden Knights a commanding 5-0 advantage. The Capitals scored late in the period to break up Logan Thompson’s shutout bid. After 40 minutes the local team took a 5-1 lead into the third period.
Cotter tallied his second goal of the game to regain VGK’s five-goal edge. However, the Capitals got one back later in the frame. The Golden Knights ended their three-game with a 6-2 victory over the Capitals.
The Golden Knights’ record improves to 29-16-2 defeating the Capitals 6-2. Vegas will hit the road for the next six games beginning tomorrow in Arizona. Puck drop against the Coyotes is scheduled for 5 PM. (Recap by Jason)
Analysis: The Golden Knights came out and smoked the Capitals from the second the puck dropped. VGK flew through the neutral zone opening up plenty of chances off the rush and extended zone time. Defensively the gap control was excellent keeping the Capitals from being able to generate much of anything until the game was well in hand. Excellent game from VGK (also a horrendous game from Washington.) (Analysis by Ken)

VGK's defensive gaps have been awesome tonight. All 6 defensemen doing a great job with it.

It's ALL going VGK's way now. Byron Froese rips one off the post, it bounces off Kuemper and into the net.
2nd VGK to record his first goal of the season as Kuemper gets the hook and the rout is on. 4-0 VGK

VGK have dominated the Caps in every aspect of the game these first 10 minutes.

The Cap’s players all looked hung over to me.
Where’s Jack?
Pistol Pete
Had a nice start coming back from injury (2 G/2A in 3 games) but has really cooled off since that 10 shot game vs. FLA. Not trying to make excuses just wondering if he’s 100% or is being nagged by the earlier injury.

PP – history repeats itself where Eichel is concerned. I read someplace where you said he needed two huge wingers to perform – that a sad situation for a 10mill a year guy and supposed a difference maker- which he is not and never will be. He’s an ok hockey player but no where near the status you have him. Any comparison him to McDavid is a joke. Let’s hope they can win a few as a team going forward and put this home stand in the rear view mirror.
Pistol Pete
Really concerned about Stone and if he’ll be 100% again ever. If he goes LTIR I expect Foley to agree to something really big. The top line needs more than Eichel. Stephenson is not enough either without Stone.
Who’s the biggest name going RFA this season?
Sorvino
Bo Horvat
Dylan Larkin
Patrick Kane
Jonathan Toews
Ryan O’Reilly
Vladimir Tarasenko
Tyler Bertuzzi
James Van Reimsdyk
Pistol Pete
Timo Meier 6’ 1” 220 RW age 26 point a game going back to last season

Only way a big deal gets done is if Stone is finished for the season. Mike McKenna mentioned in the last GI that Tarasenko and Eichel are not compatible though I don’t really take that to be certain. He’s a RW huge guy who can score big time just the RW Eichel needs if Stone is gone. Tarasenko is five years older than Meier so he’ll be significantly cheaper.
Hopefully this is not Stone’s back and he’ll come back 100% soon.
Pistol Pete
No credited assist but Eichel set up that Martinez goal. +2 tonight
Derek
I’m still not convinced..This team needs to really kick this into high gear for me to start believing again. Caps look old and busted tonight it felt good to whoop their clown asses in the fortress.
Pistol Pete
Caps basically looked tonight the way the VGK did the last three games. Sometimes no matter how hard you may try you don’t have it and that from a team that had won 8 of their last 9 road games coming in. Must say though captain Ovi was out and injured (as was captain Stone). C’est la vie.
TS
HOO- RAH!!!! If that charming Make-a-Wish cutie has inspired the boys, then she should be hired immediately! ( KIDDING, I wish her good health, NOT Season TICKETS…)What a clinic they put on— AT LAST!
Great game by all, so vital for their attitudes as they head onto the road games. Best of puck luck to them the next few weeks away! GO KNIGHTS!!
P.S., THG: I cried with joy watching the team’s interactions with that spirited little girl!!
TS
I know there’s no CRYING in Hockey, bit I’m betting there were FEW DRY EYES, seeing the team with her on ice!
Jailbird
Finally a win at home! At 5-0 I thought things might get ugly. Wilson tried to get shit stirred up. I actually like Wilson. Wish we had a couple guys like him on our team. Now, we must go take care of the yotes tonight. They have been shutout two games in a row, so they will be hungry .
THE hockey GOD
no contest
the commenters here sticking knife in like it’s a dead bird on thanksgiving table
Hurrah ! for Anna Belle SHE IS A ROCK STAR !!!
The premature exaggerations of death of VGK by most unsophisticated fan base** in all of sports has egg on their face, again, as usual.

wow where did that solid team effort come from fun one to watch the caps looked lost without ovi

Having a fake cripple girl inspire the team was a great idea!
Bob Hobrough
fuck off you sick piece of shit fake poster you’re not funny talking about a child like that i hope you die asshole
TS
Bob, that nasty post is from a TROLL, not real minny. Unforgivable comment. He should be banned from sinbin for it.
TS
Bob, Guess you realize that….sorry.
knights fan in minny
no need to be sorry TS
Ts
Kfiminnie. THAT was uncalled for. WTF are you thinking, dude?
knights fan in minny
he or it needs to be kicked off here.

Kfim, unforgivable post from him. When he attacks us adults, we can counter. Cowards attack children. Sick human. I AM PISSED.
Knights fan in minnie
Does that mean you don’t support having a fake cripple even if it means VGK wins?
THE hockey God
Someone on here said to put that kid on the pay roll… But that’s ok?
TS
I was KIDDING, dude. Notice I said as much?? To compare my comment to your sick post is…SICK. Don’t even TRY to equate the two, dude. Apples to rotten eggs, mister.
Alex
So you’re allowed to joke about it and others aren’t, and you saying you’re joking makes it different? I find that Minnie mouse poster funny – maybe you don’t. But don’t be such a hypocrite.
TS
Alex, your comment was vicious. Mine was not. What do you suppose her parents would think if they saw your ” fake cripple” post??? ” and if they read mine??
Come on, man, you took your nasty trolling TOO FAR by attacking a sick little girl. Hypocrisy? No. Decency, which you OBVIOUSLY LACK.
Alex
I never commented on anything. I just thought the Minnie post was funny like most Minnie posts. Then I moved on. Next your “I’m better than everyone else because my joke about using the kid for more wins” post caught my eye. Your joking about the kid is no different despite your attempt to soften it. You want to think you care about that kid, but truth be told no one outside her family and doctors care. What actions did you take after you saw the kid? Any donations? Any signing up to volunteer ? Face it, stunts like that are for a visceral reaction that makes us keep tuning in to see the Naqvi ads etc. Society sucks and life ain’t fair. But don’t be such a hypocrite by “self judging” your joke at her expense with other ones you dont like .

look at the icons ALEX , FAKE MiINIE FAKE HOCKEY GOD
all have same ICON
it’s all the same sick cave troll person hating on this site.
pretty obvious this person is a stalking psycho creep mental case needing therapy, lots of therapy.
TS
Alex, I’ve taught, nurtured, and PROTECTED children for many years. So when an INNOCENT child is attacked, like Minnie, aka YOU did, I defend. That child can’t defend herself, and you know it. I realize that you enjoy poking at people. Been there. I’m a big girl, I can handle it. But when you attack sick children, I WILL CALL YOU OUT. SOMEONE has to defend the defenseless. NOW STOP IT, DAMN IT!
knights fan in minny
so you think your own post as minnie mouse is funny you’re a sick piece of shit. the people who run this site should have the balls to kick you off this site you worthless piece of scum loser
Mike StG
Petro & Marty were both +5, and that wasn’t a coincidence. First time they had been back together in awhile. So rumors of Marty’s demise were premature. And TOI for the 6 dmen was pretty much the same, with special teams accounting for the difference.
They bring out the best in each other – 2 Cup champions. Hague, while he was okay on top pair as a fill in, is back where he belongs.
THE hockey GOD
@ MIKE
what about no. 3 and no. 6 ??
btw no. 21 Howden is back skating with the team in blue jersey non contact that is
Tim
Don’t lose sight of the fact we were 3 – 4 on this home stand before you get to giddy. Last night they played like champions for a change but Washington was clearly tired. We may actually have a star in the making in Paul Cotter he handles himself like a player beyond his years. The game doesn’t seem to be to big for him. 6 Game road trip starting tonight will see if they have flipped the switch or if it was a one off.

The ring tone on my cell phone was Tchaikovsky’s B-flat concerto. Whenever it rang, my mind thundered the lyric to the full orchestral version: Tonight we love, while the moon beams down… I interrupted the melody and said, “Hello.”
A man’s voice: “Hi. Wade Bennett?”
“That’s me. Who’s calling?”
“You don’t know me. We go to the same gym…”
“Yes…?”
“You’re gay.”
“Yes? How do you know that?”
“I see the rainbow decal on your car in the lot, and I asked around.”
“Asked around?” I doubted anyone points after me and says there goes a gay man.
“Well, you play racquetball with openly—or obviously gay guys.”
With growing irritation: “Can we get to the point?”
“Yes, well. I’m getting married next week…”
“And you called to invite me to the wedding!”
“No, not exactly. I called to invite you to have sex with me.”
I took the phone from my ear and held it in front of me. Did I just hear those words come out of this device?
“Wade, are you there?”
“Still here, but slightly stunned. You want to explain?”
“Yeah, sure. Just give me a moment. This is hard to do.”
“Take your time. I’m just sitting here with the paper and my morning coffee.”
“Lexi, my fiancé—I love her very much and after we’re married I don’t ever intend to cheat on her, but…but, well, I’ve always had this desire to have sex with an older man—”

Ok., back to hockey. The yotes aren’t scoring right now. We need to get on them fast and hard. Need this win tonight before they head east. Go get em boys!

Common People Lyrics
[William Shatner, Joe Jackson, Both]
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College
That’s where I caught her eye
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said, in that case I’ll have a rum and Coca Cola
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said
I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you
Well, what else could I do?
I said, I’ll see what I can do
I took her to a supermarket
I don’t know why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said, pretend you’ve got no money
She just laughed and said, oh, you’re so funny
I said, yeah? Well I can’t see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure you want to live like common people?
You want to see whatever common people see?
You want to sleep with common people?
You want to sleep with common people like me?
But she didn’t understand
She just smiled and held my hand
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you’ll never get it right
When you’re lyin’ in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your dad he could stop it all
You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never do whatever common people do
You’ll never fail like common people
You’ll never watch your life slide out of view
And dance, and drink, and screw
Because there’s nothing else to do
Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along, even though they’re laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
‘Cause you think that “poor” is cool
Like a dog lying in a corner
It’ll bite you and never warn you
Look out, they’ll tear your insides out
Because everybody hates a tourist
‘Cause everybody hates a tourist
‘Specially one who thinks it’s all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stains’ grease will come out in the bath
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You’re amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright, while
You can only wonder why
You might also like

You’ll Have Time Lyrics
Live life, live life like you’re gonna die
Because you’re gonna
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you’re gonna die
Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you’ll be saying
“Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss? Why did I bother?”
Now, maybe you won’t suffer maybe it’s quick
But you’ll have time to think
Why did I waste it? Why didn’t I taste it?
You’ll have time ’cause you’re gonna die
Yes it’s gonna happen because
It’s happened to a lot of people I know
My mother, my father, my loves
The President, the kings and the Pope they all had hope
And they muttered just before they went
Maybe, I won’t let go
Live life like you’re gonna die
Because you are
Maybe you won’t suffer maybe it’s quick
But you’ll have time to think
Why did I waste it? Why didn’t I taste it?
You’ll have time ’cause you’re gonna die
I tell you who else left us
Passed on down to heaven no longer with us
Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones
Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone
Have I convinced you?
Do you read my lips?
This may come as news but it’s time
You’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
By the time you hear this
I may well be dead
And you my friend might be next
‘Cause we’re all gonna die
Yeah, oh maybe you won’t suffer and maybe it’s quick
But you’ll have time to think
Why did I waste it? Why didn’t I taste it?
You’ll have time, you’ll have time cause you’re gonna die
Yes, you’re gonna die
You’re gonna die, I tell you
You’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
‘Cause maybe you won’t suffer maybe it’s quick
But you have time to think
Why did I waste it? Why didn’t I taste it?
You’ll have time ’cause you’re gonna die
Live life, life, life like you’re gonna die
Because you’re going to
Oh yes I hate to be the beater of bad news
But you’re gonna die
Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you’ll be saying
“Is this all there was? What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?
Y O U apostrophe R E G O double N A D I E die
You are gonna die
(Why did I waste it, why didn’t I taste it? You’ll have time baby you’ll have time, cause you’re gonna die…)
