The Vegas Golden Knights are a very strong hockey team (as it turns out) but their social media game is debatably even stronger. Despite being the newest franchise in the NHL, they have left a huge footprint for future expansion teams to try to emulate.
Many thought their terrific 109 point regular season was a fluke, but they’ve carried that success into the post season. They even won their first round matchup against the gritty L.A. Kings to the tune of a 4-0 sweep. In the second round they’re facing the Sharks, who tied the series up at two games apiece with a 4-0 shutout over the Knights. The Kings, who are apparently still a little bitter, took to Twitter to express their glee with the result.
Kind of a strange chirp, but nonetheless the try “OHHHHH” moment came when the Knights, and their heavyweight Twitter presence, responded with a timely burn that sent the Kings to an early grace.
Boom. There’s no coming back from that one, and they were even facing fire from their own fans.
She also laid down a tongue-in-cheek comment, but they took that one a little better.
Either way, if you mess with the Golden Knights, you’re going to have to deal with some golden clapbacks.
