How Las Vegas is feeling about tonight's game

Man, walking through the Arts District this morning, grabbing some Pad See Ew from my spot – the buzz for tonight is just *different*. It's not that anxious energy you get when the team is trying to claw its way back. This is pure, unadulterated confidence, almost a swagger. Folks at the coffee shop near Fremont, even the dealers on their break up and down the Strip, they're all saying the same thing: "We're not just winning; we're *dominant*." It feels like we've hit our stride at exactly the right time, and after that shaky stretch a few weeks back, it's a huge relief.

Everyone's talking about how the Vegas Golden Knights look like a completely different team from just a month ago. The Colorado Avalanche game tonight is a huge test, but the vibe in Las Vegas is that we’re ready for anything. The word "dynasty" is starting to float around in group chats again, something you haven't heard much since we lifted the Cup last year. It’s that feeling of being all in, knowing the house edge is finally with us.

Vegas Born, Vegas Raised — Let's Go Knights.

You gotta hear the full breakdown of this game on "Wake Up, Vegas!" – always live at mornings.live.
