Rangers' Gallo rooting from afar as Golden Knights take NHL, Vegas by storm

A team dinner at a fancy-pants downtown steakhouse prevented Joey Gallo from catching every minute of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, but he will have at least three more opportunities to watch his hometown hockey team.

The first-year Las Vegas Golden Knights have taken the NHL and greater Las Vegas area by storm. Gallo is a fan, though not as big of a fan as good buddy and fellow Las Vegas boy Bryce Harper.

The Washington Nationals star puts Gallo's fandom almost to shame, though Gallo hosted several Golden Knights watch parties over the off-season for his buddies, including Harper.
