You know that season's coming up. It's a time where you see endless commercils for turkeys, Christmas gifts, and Black Friday sales. It's also a time to remind everyone that Vegas Golden Knights star Jack Eichel looks like one of the burglars from Home Alone.
However, it's also a time to be thankful for what you have in life. For example, being thankful for the Golden Knights is already enough. Sure, the team's going through a funk right now. But you can't go wrong with two Stanley Cup Final appearances and a Stanley Cup in your first nine seasons.
It's also a good time to be thankful for superstars like Marv from Home Alone and Mitch Marner. After all, it takes gutsy front office personnel to pull off big moves. You're looking at MLB, where only the New York teams and the Los Angeles Dodgers are doing these moves. As the Iron Sheik would say, these teams have "raisin bawls."
Most teams would be lucky to even see their expansion teams make the playoffs. Who does that in its first year like the Golden Knights did? Not many, that's who. It's why being a Golden Knights fan is one of the biggest luxuries in the modern sports world.
Let's not forget that everything in life is temporary. That includes rough times. When you're dealing with a rough situation in life, remember that life has other plans for you.
That's no different for the Golden Knights, who are going through it right now. The team has too much talent to let everything slip through the cracks. If they did stink past Christmas, then that's a separate discussion to be had.
