Life is pretty strange right now and not having the Vegas Golden Knights as an escape makes the days seem longer.

With our world continuing to grapple with the coronavirus crisis, the Vegas Golden Knights and the rest of the sporting landscape is on lockdown for the foreseeable future.

Switch on the news or pick up a paper and the outlook appears more bleak than the day before, and we are all trying to get through this current situation as best as we can.

It is hard of course and our hearts go out to all of those who have been affected by this terrible virus.

More from Vegas Hockey Knight

But we here at Vegas Hockey Knight have a duty to keep on producing engaging and high-end Golden Knights content in order to give you all the distraction you need from time to time.

We have been doing that and we have a bevy of new content in the pipeline ready to roll out over the coming weeks.

From looking at the 2020 Draft, whenever that takes place, to previewing free agency and looking back on historic moments in the short but already incredible history of this franchise, we have plenty of ideas to help provide you all with a much-needed distraction.

However, sometimes it can all seem a bit too much and, right now, it is hard to imagine hockey and sports returning any time soon.

We aren’t scientists or health specialists so it would be foolish of us to try and predict when exactly sports will make a return, but all signs point to us having to wait a while.

Maybe deep into 2020, even.

Hopefully that isn’t the case but, while we wait for decisions to be made, it is important to cling on to a quality that we as sports fans all look to.

Hope.

Be it the start of a new season when we think this is the year our team will finally slay their demons, or maybe in free agency when we beg our franchise to go all out for that big-ticket superstar, hope is what keeps us going when it comes to our teams.

And we need to all cling to hope right now as we try to get through this current situation together as one.

Because, while things are uncertain and scary right now, sports will return and we will be able to flock to T-Mobile Arena to cheer on our Golden Knights once again.

While the Golden Knights may be denied an opportunity to compete for a Stanley Cup this year, we must remember that they are built to win for the foreseeable and it won’t be long before they will get the chance to go all out for a championship again.

We must also remember that the future is bright with a core of superstars supported by a crew of young studs in the ilk of Cody Glass and Peyton Krebs who are on the cusp of taking the NHL by storm.

Yes, the health of everyone obviously comes above sports but sports is what keeps so many of us going and they will be back.

Hockey will be back, the Vegas Golden Knights will be back and, one day soon, the good times will flow again.

So, stay safe, stay healthy, stay at home and stick with us at Vegas Hockey Knight as we get you through this until we can all switch our attention to hockey and the Golden Knights once more.

We’ll get through this together.
