Hockey Knights in Vegas: Vegas Golden Knights 8–2… But Mitch Marner Is OVERPAID?! Sarina GOES OFF!

The VGK have scored 42 goals in their first 10 games of the 2026–27 NHL season, but one Golden Knights fan thinks Mitch Marner is part of the problem. Sarina Taylor has heard ENOUGH — and she's about to unload! 🔥 But the Marner controversy is only the BEGINNING! In this explosive episode of HOCKEY KNIGHTS IN VEGAS, Eddie Rivkin and Sarina Taylor tackle some of the NHL's biggest controversies, including a question the league might not want to answer: IS THE NHL FAILING CONNOR McDAVID? How can one of the most talented athletes in professional sports NOT have the worldwide recognition of Shohei Ohtani, Lionel Messi, or Cristiano Ronaldo? Is Gary Bettman missing a golden opportunity to grow hockey? And when a VGK fan suggests that Vegas has its own version of Pavel Dorofeyev's expensive contract in Mitch Marner, Sarina absolutely LETS LOOSE! 🏒 IN THIS EPISODE: 🔥 MARNER OVERPAID?! Sarina calls out the criticism of Mitch Marner and explains why he's arguably the most talented player on the Vegas Golden Knights. 🚨 IS THE NHL FAILING McDAVID? Eddie questions why the NHL and NHLPA aren't doing more to market their greatest superstars. 💥 GARY BETTMAN UNDER FIRE!
