"I'm very excited right now dude," one fan said. "Like, I don't even know how to say this right now. I'm just so excited to see these guys play."
The Knights ended their 2020-2021 season with a loss to Montreal in the playoff semifinal series giving fans reason to believe Vegas is primed to make another deep run into the playoffs in the 2021-2022 season.
