Not many people expected the Vegas Golden Knights to win many games during their inaugural NHL season, but not only did they come out of the gate firing, but they managed to do a lot of things no other expansion team has done before like hitting the 100-point plateau and capturing their division.
The team has done so much for the city from day one and their work within the community has not gone unnoticed by any of the residents. With the team set to take part in their first ever NHL postseason, one Vegas shop is showing some love for the team and their starting goalie the only way they know how; with chocolate.
The Bellagio Patisserie, a confectioner in the MGM atrium known for their French pastries and floor-to-ceiling chocolate fountain, put together a five-foot tall chocolate sculpture of Marc-Andre Fleury and the final product is one of the most incredible things we’ve ever seen.
It didn’t take long for Golden Knights fans to fall in love with Fleury after the team acquired him through the Expansion Draft, but if his amazing personality didn’t suck them in we’re sure his play on the ice did as he put together one of his best seasons of his career, posting a 29-13-4 record to go with a .927 save percentage and 2.24 goals against average in 46 games.
