Let me set the scene for you regarding the situation for the Vegas Golden Knights. Life wasn't looking too good for Vegas on Tuesday. They had lost eight of their last nine games entering their game against the Winnipeg Jets. Times were looking dire, especially after another abysmal start.
The Golden Knights were down against the Jets, 2-0. Mind you, this was the worst team in the NHL that Vegas found themselves down against. But there they were, down two goals against Connor Hellebuyck and a bunch of underachievers.
But a funny thing happened to Vegas on Tuesday. The Golden Knights actually came back against Winnipeg. They put up a fight not seen in games against the Chicago Blackhawks and the St. Louis Blues. In fact, they won in overtime, 4-3.
I know, an overtime win! They even defeated the reigning Hart Memorial Trophy winner, Connor Hellebuyck, to make that happen. What's funny is that the Golden Knights didn't have key offensive players like Shea Theodore and William Karlsson.
What Vegas Golden Knights fans should learn about pushing through
Normally, you'd see the big names on the Golden Knights score goals. That includes names like Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner, and even Mark Stone! But names like Brett Howden and Reilly Smith also stepped up with goals.
The result? They got a win and stopped the bleeding of a bad streak. That's one way to break through a slump in your life. Speaking of which, that's also helpful advice in life overall. Whenever life gets you down, you just need to push through.
Sometimes, life deals with a dishonest person or a sudden accident. Finding a way to overcome and persevere is part of bettering yourself in the long run. Who knows? You might actually win, as the Golden Knights did on Tuesday.
