So before the season, I thought it would be fun to preview the new Vegas Golden Knights franchise. As we’ve seen the Columbus Blue Jackets grow and fight through the typical adversity one can expect with a new club, it was easy to understand some of the key parallels.
Well.
Here on Feb. 5, one team is fighting to stay in playoff contention, while the other is breezing along through their NHL tour. Yeah, the Golden Knights have taken the league, and sports world by storm.
Go figure, right Columbus?
While the Knights are smashing records and now appearing to be that formidable playoff opponent, one player that is stepping up, also seemingly out of nowhere like his team, is that of former Blue Jacket forward, William Karlsson.
