The Golden Knights always know how to put on a show before games, infusing it with some Las Vegas flair.
And that’s exactly what the world got on Tuesday night, when the Golden Knight — if you haven’t seen him before, it’s a dude in armor with a giant sword and shield on skates — faced off against a Kraken.
Well, not a literal Kraken, although that would have been a much bigger deal. But thanks to the use of some on-ice imagery, it looked pretty amazing to see the Knight take down the Kraken before Vegas took on Seattle in the Kraken’s first NHL regular-season game ever.

I love every bit of this. We need more of this in sports.
