Some history: It is in reference to a grudge or grievance, the origin being a 19th century American practice of carrying a chip of wood on your shoulder and daring others to knock it off to provoke a fight.
Let’s just say NHL teams have, for the most part this season, failed at triggering much hostility from the Golden Knights.
Why brawl when you keep winning?
I’m guessing that chip doesn’t feel as heavy with each passing victory, the latest a 6-3 decision against Columbus on Tuesday night before 18,231 at T-Mobile Arena.
This was always going to be the litmus test, no?
