Vegas Golden Knights extinguish Calgary Flames in a dramatic showdown featuring Mitch Marner’s explosive five-point night and a wild 26-minute ice delay. Is Vegas gearing up for another playoff surge as Edmonton looms on the horizon?
Tony Dasco and Chris Gawlik break down VGK’s 6–3 home victory, spotlighting Carter Hart’s return in net, Brett Howden’s game-winner, and the persistent threat of odd-man rushes. Key topics include John Tortorella’s aggressive new forecheck, special teams success for Pavel Dorofeyev, and looming questions in the Golden Knights’ goaltending trio. The hosts preview the heated clash with the Edmonton Oilers—winners of five straight—even with Leon Draisaitl sidelined, and debate Vegas’ leadership accountability, Mark Stone’s injury management, and playoff positioning in a loaded Pacific Division.

Ice Delay Expert – this is one of the best Locked On in the league.
Enjoying your show. I’m an unbiased 1st year Vegas fan, since Marner joined the team. Besides goaltending, my concern with Vegas is team speed. That’s why Torts is stressing pace and aggressive play. Also passing last night was horrendous.
As Stone’s career winds down he should be a third liner and PP specialist. Keep him off the PK to reduce the wear and tear. Would love to see him with Wild Bill if he ever comes back. Ultimate shut down line.
That was the most electric the T Mobile Arena has been since the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Whitecloud welcome back was the loudest welcome home yet. Marner had a few turnovers that first period but he turned the burners on in the 2nd and 3rd. Jack is still fighting it some but had an assist or two. Pretty good game. The first goal there was no reason for that Flame to have all that time to take that shot. It was like a penalty shot and the defense has to get on them faster.
Bummer you ran out of time…I actually did want to know what was up with Harts all white gear.
What was with Hart's generic goalie mask? Looks like he bought it 5 minutes before the game from Big 5.
He had 3+ months to have one created by an artist like other goalies do. Is he not figuring to be a Knight long and didn't want to spend any cash on it?
Great podcast, thanks for giving recognition to Zack Whitecloud, who was a classic player for the VGK!
I like the comment about "hope passing". I've seen a lot of that this year. Thinking a player will be somewhere and they're not! Too fancy! Maybe this is where Torts more direct, north south attitude helps
What are Schmid's statistics on only his starts, eliminating his time in net coming in after Adin poo'd the bed?
Reminder …. that Mitch is a Knight now and how about give the kid some credit . All you do is pick him apart. Are you sure you’re not Leaf fans?
Like he’s phenomenal.
Tony Ta…basco is hilarious.
The NHL app had Eichel, Howden, and Theodore as the 3 stars, when Mitch had more pionts then all 3 combined 😅
