Golden Knights’ open practice is a breath of fresh air

I thought about Nick Saban the other day when I walked into the Golden Knights’ practice facility.

Hundreds of fans were watching the team prepare for the Washington Capitals.

An open practice before a Stanley Cup quest begins? Can’t say I’ve seen anything quite like it. Try walking into Saban’s practice in Tuscaloosa three days before an Auburn game.

But I couldn’t see much. I spent most of the time trying to peek around a Capitals fan who was standing on a stool wearing an Alex Ovechkin No. 8 jersey. Can’t say I’ve seen an Auburn jersey at an Alabama practice.
