I don’t think people outside Vegas really grasp this ..
This team is Vegas, the NFL will always be king around the country but VGK are Vegas’s team in a way the A’s or Raiders won’t ever be. Not a knock on those franchises just reality.
Heading into Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, road teams that trailed by multiple goals had never come back and won... Until last night. 😱

The worst narrative in sports right now is that the Vegas Golden Knights don’t have passionate fans.
Vegas LOVES the Golden Knights,
Vegas is an ELITE hockey city.
They have done everything right since joining the NHL. This city rocks. This team rocks.
Never forget when Paul Pierce claimed he was better than Dwyane Wade and Jalen Rose fired back with this😭
“He’s made All-NBA First Team twice — Paul hasn’t done it. He made All-NBA eight times to your four. He’s made All-Defensive Team three times to your zero. He’s won one scoring title — you weren’t able to win a scoring title. He has three rings. You have one ring.”

Thank You to the world for giving this city a professional sports team and blessing it with hockey.
They all said it wouldn’t work.
Third trip to the Cup in Nine seasons.
You’ll never understand what this organization means to this city. What it means to kids who grew up in Las Vegas with nothing much to do. We were always told Vegas would never get a team, that it just wouldn’t work for a variety of reasons.
Four more wins for No. 2
Unreal
