It’s a strange yet familiar feeling.
I walked to Vegas Golden Knights players and talked to them face-to-face in the team’s square-shaped locker room at the VGK headquarters in suburban Summerlin for interviews.
If this is “normalcy,” I’ll take it.
“It’s more normal, the whole world,” VGK center Jack Eichel said.
The last time the media interviewed Golden Knights players in person was in early 2020 during those pre-COVID pandemic days. Drawing comments meant talking via Zoom sessions and mass press conferences.
Back in the good ol’ days, original Misfit William Karlsson’s locker was diagonally across from the media entrance into the locker room. I recall Karlsson’s first year, when his goal-scoring and flowing blonde locks were the envy of the NHL and Las Vegas female fans.
Karlsson moved his locker to the opposite side of the room. So did his Misfit buddy, Reilly Smith.
LVSportsBiz.com strolled over to defenseman Zach Whitecloud and asked him about the locker room being back open to the media and the sense of “normalcy” returning.
