Protecting lead catches up to Golden Knights in OT loss

It doesn’t change depending on the sport. The mindset is the same whether you’re driving a golf ball or shooting a puck.

Playing with a lead can be murder on the old psyche, unless you’re of the attitude Gerard Gallant wants from his hockey team.

“We always push,” the Golden Knights coach said. “We never sit back.”

Never is pretty tough to achieve.

The Knights didn’t push as much as usual Saturday.

They held back in the last half of the third period.

They paid for it.

Never took the afternoon off.
