The Golden Knights have had a smooth sailing ever since they entered the NHL in 2017. Sure, they missed the playoffs two years ago, but they won the Stanley Cup after that, so I guess that's enough to satisfy them. In addition to winning, they seem to make a lot of noise every offseason and trade deadline. They made a lot of noise again this March. But this offseason has been surprisingly quiet, and they lost the most important player in franchise history for nothing. This franchise hasn't been through a lot of hardship, so maybe that's why fans are so angry right now.

But if there's one thing I know about this team, it's that they'll probably do something unexpected and cause a ruckus when no one's looking.
