  • VGK returns to work!

    VGK returns to work!
    Feb 19 2025
    Vacation's over for the Golden Knights as they returned to the ice Tuesday sans the Four Nations participants. Assistant coach John Stevens ran practice and met the media afterward saying only that the goal was to get players back on the ice and moving their feet. The pace of practice will pick up today, as prep for Saturday's game against Vancouver begins. VGK traded forward Grigori Denisenko to Nashville for future considerations. Denisenko played one game with VGK this season, and played mostly with AHL Henderson. We talk about Quinn Hughes and whether he will play in 4 Nations and the injuries so far in the tournament. And, the rumor mill is swirling as a report surfaces that VGK scouts have been focusing on the Buffalo Sabres.

  • USA-Canada again this time for 4 Nations Title

    USA-Canada again this time for 4 Nations Title
    Feb 18 2025
    Team USA will have a rematch against Team Canada Thursday this time for the 4 Nations Championship in Boston. Canada held on for a 5-3 win after leading Finland 4-0 Monday to clinch a spot in the Final vs USA. Team USA lost a meaningless game, meanwhile 2-1 to Sweden. Team USA was shorthanded with an 11/6 structure to start the game. Brady Tkachuk skated into the goal post and played only two minutes. He came back after the injury but played only one shift, before departing again. Austin Matthews, Matthew Tkachuk and Charlie McEvoy were out for Team USA. We also talk about VGK returning to the ice on Tuesday in preparation for Saturday's game against Vancouver on home ice.

  • Team USA "punches" its ticket to 4 Nations Final

    Team USA "punches" its ticket to 4 Nations Final
    Feb 16 2025
    Team USA came out swinging in Saturday's 4 Nations meeting against Team Canada. In fact, the puck hadn't even dropped when Matthew Tkachuk dropped his gloves against Brandon Hagel. Brother Brady followed suit Sam Bennett and JT Miller of Team USA fought Colton Parayko - all within the first :09 of the game! That set the tone for Team USA, who outhit the Canadians, in a 3-1 USA victory. Jake Guentzel scored twice for Team USA, who are in the final Thursday by virtue of the win. We explore the Curious Case of Adin Hill - why hasn't he earned a chance to start a game yet for Canada. And we preview Monday's games in the Four Nations, with USA's opponent still up for grabs.

  • Team USA explodes for four third period goals

    Team USA explodes for four third period goals
    Feb 14 2025
    Coach Mike Sullivan put Matthew and Brady Tkachuk on the same line with Jack Eichel at the end of the second period with Team USA leading 2-1 against Finland. By the end of the game, the Tkachuk's had four goals (two apiece) on 13 shots, one assist and 10 hits between them. VGK's Eichel had a couple of assists in the game. The Tkachuk's fueled Team USA's four goal, third period outburst enroute to a 6-1 USA win. Next up is the showdown, Saturday, between USA and Canada. We will see, most likely, Adin Hill in net for Team Canada. Meanwhile, VGK listed Shea Theodore as week-to-week, meaning he won't be back for the restart of the season. We preview Saturday's games. And it's WTF time again with listener/viewer comments.

  • Theodore out of Four Nations

    Theodore out of Four Nations
    Feb 13 2025
    Canada's 4-3 O.T. loss to Sweden was a costly one for VGK fans as Jon Cooper called Shea Theodore's injury a big blow. The defenseman suffered an apparent hand/wrist injury in the loss and will miss the remainder of the tournament and possibly several games down the stretch for the Golden Knights. Adrian Kempe hit Theodore against the boards but Theo was in an awkward position and might have broken his wrist or suffered another hand injury. Team Canada won the game on a Mitch Marner goal. Canada went up 3-1 in the game on a Mark Stone goal. But the Swedes battled back. Nex up, Team USA with Eichel and Hanifin, faces Finland on Thursday's docket.
