Sunday thoughts about... growth

In order to be our best selves, we need to grow as people.

Sometimes, you're faced with a little adversity in life. You might have to switch car insurance carriers because Shaq's face appeared on the commercial and the previous carrier sucked. You might look into coming more out of your shell because you're tired of feeling like you have nobody in your life. Maybe your kid needs a new pee-wee hockey league?

Whatever the case, the Vegas Golden Knights desperately need that right now. They're down against the Utah Mammoth, 2-1, and are in dire need of something to change their fortunes. What could the Golden Knights use in dire straits like this?

Well, maybe sacrificing a chicken could help. Maybe summoning Danhausen to curse the Mammoth could help. Regardless, the Golden Knights need a solution that will help them turn the tide in the first round.

Perhaps a little growth will help? The Golden Knights need some growth on the power play, especially with its top guys struggling. We're talking about getting Tomas Hertl and Pavel Dorofeyev going. The team needs some scoring and fast.

Otherwise? The Golden Knights will be golfing and their neighbors will hootin' and hollerin'. Nobody wants to see (or hear) that, specifically with the team's newfound expectations. The Golden Knights better start growing or else risk regressing to the bottom of the pile.
