One day, a Vegas Golden Knights fan woke up from a sterling sleep in Summerlin. They were happy to see the weather cool off (finally!) and a certain hockey team return to the forefront. You know who I'm talking about and Vegas Golden Knights hockey is only six days away.
There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the upcoming season. You made the Stanley Cup Final last season, despite having one of the worst regular seasons in franchise history. You watched Mitch Marner evolve into a prominent playoff performer by leading the NHL in postseason points (29).
On top of that, you're looking forward to packing T-Mobile Arena on a Tuesday night. You're ready to boo the referees and cheer on the good guys every home game. You're also ready to jam to "Vegas Lights" by Panic At The Disco and dance to "Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis Presley when the Golden Knights win.
Those moments make Golden Knights hockey one of the best experiences around. It's also indicative that the hockey season will bring in colder weather. Finally, you aren't melting in your car and you can go outside without being automatically being set on fire.
But Autumn brings in something better. It brings in binge-watching of the greatest game known as hockey, leaving us with hours of exciting games and content. But it also turned a personal opinion around, leaving me feeling much better about the season.
Why Autumn is much better in Las Vegas, starting with the Vegas Golden Knights
Obviously, you can't go wrong with the Vegas Golden Knights. The team arriving for the regular season is an indicator that Autumn is here. As mentioned, the Golden Knights will come with the colder weather and everyone will go into City National Arena and T-Mobile Arena.
You can't wait to see names like Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner take the ice. You can't wait to get drunk with your buddies (PLEASE drink responsibly and DON'T drink and drive, for the love of Marc-Andre Fleury) and hang out at the bar after the Golden Knights game. All of these things have been a godsend for myself, who's fallen in love with te crisp air and the cooling temperatures.
For further context, I grew up in Metro Detroit. This Rust Belt region had brutal winter weather that would do massive damage to my mental well-being. Cold temperatures and snow as an adult? Imagine being stuck with both while trying to get a stable job and drive a car.
Preceding the season was Autumn, which would begin the process of stripping trees of their leaves and plummeting temperatures. That begins the cycle of your mood going quickly down the drain. Those times? Not good.
The moral of the story? Go where you're treated best. It's what Andrew Henderson of Nomad Capitalist said (or paraphrased, at least) and it refers to finding the right place. If you feel better in 80-degree weather compared to 50-degree torture? Go for it.
