Las Vegas

We’ll say right up front, we are not a sports person.

Still, with their recent overtime win against the St. Louis Blues, the Las Vegas Golden Knights have crushed a long-standing NHL record.

The Knights are the first team in the NHL’s 100 year history to win six of their first seven games during an inaugural season.

We know this because it says so right there on the Twitters.

The Las Vegas Golden Knights are first major professional sports franchise to be based in Las Vegas.

The team was also the first franchise in 100 years to start 5-1 in its first NHL season.

The NHL celebrates its 100th anniversary on November 26, 2017.

Given recent tragic events, Las Vegas has been in need of a boost, a reminder Las Vegas is an extraordinary place where dreams come true.

For many, the Las Vegas Golden Knights are providing just that.

Wow, all the sports coverage.... who would have thunk it. You must be a closet sports guy, you noted that the Gnights are the first major professional sports franchise in Vegas. I'm sure plenty of people have called them the first pro sports team, dismissing professional sports on less prestigious levels, and Vegas has plenty of history with pro sports outside the major leagues.

I see the Captain Morgan was at work last night, "The NHL celebrates its 100th anniversary on November 26, 1917."
