NEW YORK — George McPhee took a sip from his cup of coffee and offered his brief assessment of the Golden Knights’ season to this point.
Or, he tried to, anyway.
“It’s been hard to evaluate because we haven’t been at full strength,” the general manager said. “We haven’t had our full lineup for a single game, I don’t believe. But we’re playing hard most nights.”
The Knights endured more adversity in the opening two months of their second season than they did throughout their memorable run to the Stanley Cup Final.
But with the midway point of the schedule fast approaching, McPhee is starting to see signs the Knights have turned a corner.
