Vegas Golden Knights Ready to DOMINATE First Month as Mark Stone Anchors Strong Start | VGK Podcast

Vegas Golden Knights catch a scheduling break with fewer back-to-backs and soft early matchups—can they capitalize for a fast start under a new coach? Tony Dasco and Chris Gawlik dissect the 2026-27 NHL season slate, spotlighting highlight games like home openers against the Chicago Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs, as well as pivotal Pacific Division showdowns to close the regular season. The hosts debate VGK’s lost home-ice edge, quirks such as consecutive home games against the Dallas Stars, and the significance of playing division rivals down the stretch. Packed with hot takes on the 10th anniversary logo controversy, the impact of fewer travel demands, and Parker Wotherspoon’s controversial No. 29 jersey, this episode unpacks what the schedule means for the Golden Knights’ playoff chances and team identity. Does this favorable schedule set up Vegas for another division title or will overlooked challenges trip up their Stanley Cup ambitions? Odoo Today's episode is brought to you by Odoo ( OH - DO ).
