Any expert will tell you that Thanksgiving acts as a line of demarcation for teams to assess where they are, and that will be the case for the Vegas Golden Knights.
And, two months in, it is fair to suggest that this year hasn’t exactly gone to plan for the Golden Knights so far.
They currently occupy 5th place in the Pacific Division and they aren’t playing like a team who can compete for the Stanley Cup.
It has been a strange season in many ways and, with the Knights having now played 26 games, I thought it would be a good opportunity to offer 26 of my own thoughts on the state of play within the franchise right now.
