SAN JOSE, Calif. — History has defined the Golden Knights since their inception.
But this is the kind they won’t soon forget.
This kind will be talked about for decades to come, and not in a flattering manner.
This was as monumental a collapse as you will see in sports.
There will be no repeat of a Western Conference title, no return trip to a Stanley Cup Final, nothing but nightmare memories of what transpired Tuesday night at SAP Center, where the Knights finished off blowing a 3-1 series lead by falling to San Jose 5-4 in overtime of Game 7 of a Western Conference quarterfinal.
