We haven’t talked a ton about the NHL this season, but one of the best stories of the year has been the success of the Vegas Golden Knights. In their inaugural year, they’ve wowed us all and are heading to the playoffs! For those wondering at home, this is the first time that’s happened since the 79-80 season. In that year both the Whalers and Oilers did so.
The Golden Knights were playing strong hockey before the massacre that occurred in Vegas last October, but since then they’ve really stepped up their game. The team has taken the city underneath their wings and made them their team.
Vegas has 103 points on the season, best in the Pacific division and second best in the Western Conference overall. They are one heck of a feel-good story!
