Golden Knights learning from last season. Stone says Captain believes Vegas must handle adversity better to get over hump in playoffs
Mark Stone was blunt after the Golden Knights NHL were eliminated in the Stanley Cup semifinals last season. The Montreal Canadiens, saying they fell on the best players and that he needs to see what went wrong. Now that he had a chance to process it, what went wrong then? What did he learn?
What do the Golden Knights need to take the next step this season? Beginning with their first regular-season game against Seattle Kraken at the TMobile Arena on October 12 (10 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS)? “I think a lot went through my head for a month while I was thinking about it,” said the Las Vegas captain. “I don’t think I handled the pressure well.
I don’t think I … obviously changed my game. I think there were a lot of guys who felt the same pressure and we didn’t fight. “Adversity is as good as we would have liked.” The Golden Knights have played four seasons in the NHL and four Stanley Cups Made the playoffs, lost twice in the semifinals and once in the cup final, had the most wins (40) and scored last season with the Colorado Avalanche (82). That’s amazing, but still not good enough, because your only goal is the trophy.
