Pittsburgh still loves Marc-Andre Fleury
 
Pittsburgh still loves Marc-Andre Fleury

Las Vegas isn’t the only city where Marc-Andre Fleury is a fan favorite. Fleury was drafted by Pittsburgh in 2003, and was its goalie until the expansion draft last June. He won three Stanley Cups as a Penguin, and helped turned the team from a bad one to a historically great one. Even though he’s gone, Pens fans still have love for Fleury. Dick’s Sporting Goods in Pittsburgh starting selling Fleury and Knights gear to keep up with demand. Season-ticket holder Bill Diamond had no thoughts of taking down his framed jersey. Pittsburghers say they’ll be watching this week’s Final with hopes that he raises another Cup.

Knights match accomplishment of old St. Louis Blues

The Godlen Knights have become the first NHL expansion team in 50 years to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. The last to do it were the the 1967-68 St. Louis Blues, one of six new teams that season as the league doubled in size. The new teams played in the same division, and one was guaranteed of making the final. Both the old Blues and Knights featured great goaltending — St.Louis had Glenn Hall; Vegas has Marc-Andre Fleury. There were other similarities between the teams, such as leading scorers who were only role players with their old teams. The Knights will face either the Washington Capitals or the Tampa Bay Lightning in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final.

Knights’ fever grips Las Vegas
 
Knights’ fever grips Las Vegas

Golden Knights fever is gripping Las Vegas as the second round of the NHL playoffs continue. Longtime observers of the local sports scene are comparing to the team’s popularity to that of the UNLV basketball team during its heyday. It has been 27 years since UNLV last played in the Final Four. Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was only 5 years old when the Rebels beat Duke to win the 1990 national championship. “You’d go to the bank, and everybody would ask how the Rebels were going to do against Oklahoma, against LSU. I think what is happening (with the Knights) is similar. The most important part is that it is uniting the community like UNLV basketball did.”

What to watch in the Golden Knights-Sharks series

1. Shake off the rust. The last time the Knights played, people were still filing their income tax returns. And the Sharks have been off since April 18. 2. Puck stops here. Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and counterpart Martin Jones of San Jose each posted a save percentage better than .970 in the opening round. 3. Kill joy. The Knights faced the league’s best penalty-killing unit (Los Angeles) in the opening round of the playoffs. They get the No. 2 short-handed team (San Jose) in the semifinals. 4. Fourth dimension. Both teams’ fourth lines played pivotal roles in the opening round. 5. Fear the beard. Sharks defenseman Brent Burns, who played Game 4 against the Ducks after he missed the final 10 minutes of Game 3, practiced this week and is expected to be ready for the series opener.
