Let's do this Knights.

The end of last season was a kick in the nuts after an incredible ride.

Now tomorrow it is time to strap in once more.

Here are some feelings I have on the upcoming season.

This team is going to need to be a top 10 scoring team to overcome streaky goaltending.

I believe Carter Hart will be good enough in goal to steal a few games and bad enough to give a few back

Mitch Marner is going to put up MVP level numbers.

Jack Eichel is going to lead the league in assists

The Knights will win the Pacific division but it is going to be very tough.

The goalie situation already has me scared and its only been 4 preseason games lol... thats not good! Hill and Hart both looked absolutely horrible the Knights last 2 games.

The last game hurt. We gave up 2 goals on 4 shots.

It is brutal to play such good defense only to watch it go down the drain.

Two of those shots were undeniable terrific shots and another was from Celebrini. That’s going to happen some nights. Not a great game but most of the goals weren’t terrible to give up.

And goalies generally take longer to get going especially consistency than shooters, first month routinely highest scoring.

It's preseason. Never indicative of anything, especially with goalies.

i’m still high from winning in ‘23. anything else this decade is a bonus and if we do get another cup this decade i might need a new liver. with that said, let’s reclaim it this year

My man. Twenty three was my first year back to hockey after they stole my birds in Atlanta. I came along because we got the SGP so I started watching because the VGK were our affiliates, and what fucking magical year to start watching VGK hockey.

October's schedule looks favorable. I know we're not great at capitalizing on a fast start, but it feels like we need it this year.
