The Sharks And Golden Knights Rivalry Is POPPING OFF, Fights ALL Night During A Pre-Season Game

If this doesn’t get you gassed up for the start of the regular season then I don’t know what will. There’s nothing like good hate in hockey. The only sport where it’s “legal” to let that hate boil over into physical violence. Don’t tell these guys it’s a tune up. Don’t tell these guys this game isn’t real. The hatred is real. The revenge factor is real. Vegas probably feels like the Sharks and the refs conspired against them in game 7 last year. They probably felt like they had a Stanley Cup caliber team and if they escape that game in the Shark Tank then who knows what happens. The Golden Knights are out for blood and I fucking LOVE it. The Sharks are ready to give it right back. Look at this idiot with a death wish just lumberjacking the shit out of Ryan Reaves

And it never stopped. There were dust ups and fights the entire night. A full 60 minutes of message sending by two teams that couldn’t wait until the regular season to settle old scores. A goalie even got into the act

Couldn’t wait 4 fucking days. That’s it. That is when these two get together again. Wednesday, October 2nd the Golden Knights and Sharks do it again, but for real this time and I can’t wait. Hockey is back. This is what makes hockey special and unique. 99% of the time in the other sports the hatred is truly only between the fans. Players on the Cowboys and Eagles don’t really hate each other. The Giants and Dodgers players don’t really hate each other. The Celtics and Lakers aren’t coming to blows. This is just hockey. The hatred is real. The Golden Knights have had this game circled all summer. They probably had Logan Couture’s picture on their mirror like Rocky did with Drago in Rocky IV. Just ready to crumple it up and go to war all year long. The season is here. Buckle up. Put on the foil. It’s go time.
