'It's crazy': Ex-Wing Tatar relishes ride with Vegas

Hockey weather, maybe it’s not.

It’s mentioned to Tomas Tatar, as he’s headed home after a Vegas Golden Knights practice, about how it’s supposed to reach 104 degrees outside in Las Vegas on this day. It's not exactly the sort of weather that screams “hockey."

“Kind of nice,” said Tatar, who was dealt by the Red Wings at the trade deadline to the Golden Knights for three draft picks. “It really is.”

What else is nice, for Tatar, is getting ready for Saturday’s Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Winnipeg Jets.
