Expansion Vegas Golden Knights are defying the odds

The Vegas Golden Knights are on a winning streak and are playing with arrogance. They are the first NHL expansion team to make the postseason since the league doubled from six to 12 teams in 1967. They play with an aggressive forecheck, overwhelm with swift counterattacks and suffocate through prolonged offensive zone possessions. The team owner, Bill Foley, wants them to reach the playoffs in three seasons and capture Lord Stanley in six. He also wants to finish the inaugural season above .500. Vegas leads the Western Conference and has the best home record.

The Vegas Golden Knights are the first team in the NHL. They are playing in their first season. The team is very young and the players are having fun. The owner, James Foley, would like everyone to stop. He would also like the team to improve. However, the Golden Knight's coach, Gerard Gallant, wants them to have fun and enjoy themselves. Their fans are very enthusiastic. There is a video of general manager George McPhee. It shows him in a war room at GoldenKnight's headquarters. A few minutes earlier, at 6:56 a.m. the general director of the franchise, George Foley was shown.

The Vegas Golden Knights were selected in the expansion draft 7 1/2 months ago. GM P.A. McPhee was relieved with the results. The fans at the show were enthusiastic about the selection.

Fleury suffered a concussion in the second period of the game against Detroit. He spent two months recovering. Fleury returned to the Golden Knights on December 12. Since coming back, he's won 11 of his last 16 starts and has a .946 save percentage and a 1.61 GAA. He was invited to his third All-Star Game. The torch passed when Fleur handed Matt Murray the Stanley Cup last June. Malcolm Subban is the only other goalie with previous NHL experience. Golden Knight's backup goalie is Dylan Ferguson. They trailed first-place L.A. by four points when he returned.
