Golden Knights Wrap: Shootout Chaos, Trade Deadline Announced

There seemed to be a bit of miscommunication between Bruce Cassidy and the linesman for Monday night’s Vegas Golden Knights/Los Angeles Kings preseason game. After a tie 1-1 game ended regulation, Cassidy was asked if the Golden Knights wanted to go to a shootout.

“When the official came over, he asked if we were going to do the shootout. I said well yeah, but I thought if he meant the game was tied. I didn’t know we were going to the shootout after they scored,” Cassidy said.

What followed was a whopping 13-round practice shootout in which the Golden Knights won. Brayden McNabb got to shoot for the Golden Knights. Paul Cotter faked going in between his legs. It was chaos.

For reference, the longest shootout in NHL history was 20 rounds between the Washington Capitals and Florida Panthers in 2014.

Fun fun.
