I couldnt care less what people say about the Vegas Golden Knights. I like them.
Where I'm from, I have never had a true home town team to cheer for. So I was never really interested in getting vested into pro sports.
Shortly after moving to Las Vegas, they announced they were petitioning for an NHL team. People scoffed. "What do 'desert dwellers' know about Hockey?" I said "Tell me more. I would love to have a hometown team."
Las Vegas gets the go ahead to create an expansion team. People laughed. "It'll never happen. Vegas isnt a sports town." I said "sign me up for tickets."
The Golden Knights are born and they freakin KILL IT. Most wins by an expansion team in their inaugural season, Most points by an expansion team in their inaugural season, The first team to make the playoffs in their inaugural season since 1980, The first modern-era expansion team to win their division in their inaugural season, The first team IN NHL HISTORY to shut out round 1 in the playoffs. I mean, Come on. They are having an AMAZING first year.
And I have been supporting them from conception (I feel like a proud papa).
Yet, people still say "You are just a bandwagon jumper."
I think they are just pissed because the limelight is shining bright on the Golden knights and not their team. I know my Cali based friends are pissed because the Kings and Ducks arent moving on.
