The ESPYs did to Las Vegas what the Golden Knights and Marc Andre-Fleury did to numerous teams this year.
They shut them out.
The city came up empty at ESPN’s awards show Wednesday, with its NHL franchise and Aces rookie All-Star A’ja Wilson up for hardware. Las Vegas went 0 for 4 overall and received a little insult to injury when host Danica Patrick brought up the Stanley Cup Final in her opening monologue.
“The Golden Knights were one of the best expansion teams of all time but they lost to the Washington Capitals,” Patrick said, before showing a photo of Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin howling with the Cup on the T-Mobile Arena Ice.
