The Vegas Golden Knights as... Super Smash Bros characters

Tomas Hertl as... Bowser

Nothing's scarier than seeing a 6'3", 220 lb. center crash in front of the net on the power play. When that center (who's breathing fire, by the way) already has seven goals and four assists on the unit, you know he'll be a problem. That's what Tomas Hertl brings to the power play, which is sitting at 24.2% (tied for seventh in the NHL). "Fun must be always in the Mushroom Kingdom."

Bowser's known for throwing his weight around, using his bulk to bully his opponents. He can slam down on his opponents while slashing at their flesh. Now, can Bowser score from the slot? That remains to be seen. But goaltenders would flee in terror if they saw him on the man advantage. Plus, Hertl is a turtle. So is Bowser. Therefore, Bowser is Hertl, only with a less likable personality.

Brett Howden as... Sonic

Imagine Sonic the Hedgehog skating down the ice with Nicolas Roy. Roy passes to the blue blur in transition, where Sonic toe-drags for a nifty wrister. The Vegas Golden Knights crowd goes wild at T-Mobile Arena and Panic at the Disco! plays.

Now imagine Sonic looking like Justin Bieber, only blue. No, he wouldn't be the ugly Sonic from the original movie draft, either. That's what Brett Howden would be as a Super Smash Bros. character. The forward has a career-high 15 goals this season with three serving as the game-winning goals. Howden has used his speed and handles to take down goaltenders like they're Dr. Robotnik in another robotic contraption. Take this goal as an example of Howden's Sonic-like moves.
