After the Golden Knights returned home, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury drove by the iconic Las Vegas sign. You know the one. It says, "Welcome to Fabulous LAS VEGAS Nevada."
Its star inspired the Golden Knights' secondary logo. On June 22, the day after the NHL Expansion Draft, Engelland, Fleury and defensemen Jason Garrison and Brayden McNabb took a picture in front of it, all smiles. Fleury had it painted on his goalie mask.
It is now a memorial. At its base sit flowers, candles, pictures, signs, flags. Out of tragedy, an outpouring of love.
Welcome to Las Vegas, Nevada. It is fabulous.
"That's where I live," Fleury said. "That's where my house is. My family's here. Obviously I care a lot about people here. It's my town now.
"We can't undo what happened. It's very tragic. Hopefully with the way we play we can make people in Vegas proud of their team and maybe change their minds a bit a few hours when we play at night. It's not going to heal anybody, but if we can get their minds a bit away [from it], I think it would be good."
