What a vibe it was on Tuesday, June 13th in the Las Vegas Valley! You could feel the hyper-focused energy of all of us Las Vegas Locals or Misfits if you will. From local watch parties, the main watch party outside of T-Mobile Stadium to inside the stands at the game, the KNIGHTS were on fire on the ice! Enjoy some photos of the fans and congratulations to the Vegas Golden Knights on this incredible victory! The Vegas Golden Knights showed up and not only gave us something to hope for, but a home team game to root for after the tragic 10.1 tragedy on our city. The Knights were the 1st major sports franchise based out of Las Vegas and the first NHL expansion team since 2000. Bill Foley self funded the expansion team with 500 million dollars. The team is now worth double that and something to be noted is that not one tax dollar from Nevadans was needed to be paid to make this happen. It is also said that Bill Foley made the prediction that our Vegas Golden Knights would win the Stanley Cup within 6 years and this goal was achieved in our 6th year. Ironically, the 1st season game our Real Vegas Tribe attended, they retired the number 58 jersey in remembrance of the 58 that lost their lives in the 10.1 Vegas tragedy. It comes as no surprise that this happened to be the 5th year and the 8th month that the win took place. Interestingly enough, the record crowd of fans was 19,058 fans in attendance to watch the Vegas Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup!
Welcome to Impossible and the infectious positive excitement and energy to our beloved Vegas Golden Knights team! GO KNIGHTS GO!!!
