"Vegas fans were misfits too". Damn that hits deep ❤
The amount of hate we get from the rest of the league does make us feel like misfits.
@@panik28 we’re all misfits
@@panik28 I could care less about the hate. I was a misfit because being born here, we were only teased with the idea of a team of our own. Used by those teams, and then thrown to the side when they got the better deal they wanted elsewhere.
I’m proud to be a misfit. Grew up in Vegas. Proud to be a misfit and a Knight fan.
When I first heard the NHL was expanding to Vegas, I was worried and excited. A life long hockey fan in the desert. I would go to the parking lot in NYNY and watch the stadium being built. Would it work? Where there enough hockey fans? Would we stink for 10 years like the critics all said? I believe I went to their 3rd home game. I was shocked. Shocked at how nice T mobile was. I was shocked the pre-game entertainment and seeing kids excited. Shocked at how good this team was. But mostly shocked that 18,000 fans screamed louder than I did -- even if I had to explain "offsides" to people. Years later I was mad we traded Fleury. I was excited we took a chance on Jack Eichel. I was thrilled our first Captain was Mark Stone. I went from a fan of hockey to a fan of the Golden Knights. So congrats Golden Knights. You earned that.
Thank you Gary Lawless. That was beautiful. 💛🖤🏆🖤💛
🥹🥹🥹🥹 lawless u always know how to narrate an bring tears to my eyes
Gary Lawless stories are so eloquent
We did do it…🎉🎉🎉
I remember talking to my then boss at work and him saying..."Tax payers, Community....This just won't work man,not here" and I remember mentioning that I had just gotten back from a Wranglers game (where I was a season ticket holder) and saying "Mark my words. This will be HUGE" and I remember looking at all the faces around me when I said that and the sheer look of "You are crazy" washed over all of them. I will forever cherish that moment and memory because from the start, VGK made an everlasting impact. And now...We have the Cup and as a fan before we even had a roster....I am and forever will be a VGK Misfit
I'm from Indiana, WE DID IT!!!!!!!! GO KNIGHTS GO!!!!!!!!!
Gary, that was beautiful. Made my wife and I well up. Like many, my family was there from the beginning. To see this happen for our team, and our community is just amazing. We are Champions.
We might not play the games but we are always with the team by watching the games, spending money on merchandise, and continue supporting even when things don't go our way. So yeah, that person was right WE DID IT!
Lots of haters do not know the bond that we as a community have with the Golden Knights go so much further than hockey itself.....that tragic and fateful day of October 1, 2017 and the ensuing days leading to the first home game. You try to explain but they will never understand. We move on fellow misfits and let the haters hate.
THANK YOU GARY!!! THANK YOU VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS!!! GO KNIGHTS GO!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
What is a realm? The Knights showed us exactly what it is.
I'm not crying, you're crying! Beautiful writing and spoken even better Mr.Lawless. Thank you to everyone for the amazing season. Now let's get our butts down to the strip to party!!!!!!!
Being a hockey fan in a non-NHL northern market (Wisconsin), I took on the Golden Knights as my team 6 years ago, when they were created. Vegas has always been a second home to me, if not distant. Seeing the city be able to celebrate a championship, two years after my Bucks were able to win after five decades of heartbreak, makes me happy for the city and this team.
Just Win, Baby.
You are a poet Gary.
I am from New Zealand.We did it Go Knights Go from New Zealand

Beautiful!
Everyone share your Vegas Golden Knights story. I started mine in 2015 even before VGK was a thing because I remember seeing TMobile Arena being built and I said to myself I would root for the team that called it home. 2 years later and a team called it home and I became a fan. The elation I felt when the Knights went all the way to Stanley Cup Final was amazing and I was very sad to see the team lose then and for the next 4 years. Last year, after the Knights couldn't make the playoffs, I went to Vegas with my family to buy a Golden Knights hat but I couldn't find a single one. I ended up going home empty handed and just bought one online. That hat became a good luck charm because look at the team now! I love the Knights and I will keep supporting them! GO KNIGHTS GO!!!
I was excited for the Knights before a puck was even dropped. One of my fondest memories of the knights was when I was in the St. Rose Hospital in Henderson. Two days after my cancer surgery my kidneys failed multiple times. I battled excruciating pain so bad I wanted to die. Just so the pain would end.
I'll never forget a nurse asking "if there's anything you need let us know" I told her 'I want to watch the Knights games' they made it happen for me. Also, knowing one of my all time favorite players Shea Theodore was going thru cancer at the same time as me was very inspirational for me. Win or lose, I will always love the Knights!! Go Knights Go⚔️⚔️⚔️
And now we're all gonna go stand next to each other and sweat a lot for the parade! 😂
