Daily Nuggets: Towels Come in Handy, Goaltending Talk, and NHL Trade Rumors

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

We’ll not for me, a Pennsylvania boy who moved to the desert. Where’s the snow?

The Vegas Golden Knights play their first of a four-game road trip tonight at Nationwide Arena against the Columbus Blue Jackets. After that, they have two days off before they start and every other-day rotation between games and off days that will take them all the way up until Christmas Eve.

This season is flying by, folks.

One thing that’s consistent in the Winter, no matter where you are in the US, is just how fast the sun goes down. Good thing for myself and Golden Knights fans is that we have the reverse retro towels.

Last night I woke up wondering why there was a strange light coming from my desk- turns out it was the reverse retro towel. I have obtained a nice little nightlight.
