Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone believes his team's championship window remains open despite having no shortage of critics who would like to see the team fail. Stone told Gary Lawless of the team's website that he believes the Golden Knights will remain competitive despite taking major losses in free agency.
believes his team's championship window remains open despite having no shortage of critics who would like to see the team fail. "As I'm older I have realized that people are going to put a bullseye on our back because they want to see us fail,' Stone said."We haven't failed too much in our history. People want to see the Golden Knights crash and burn. But like I said, I think the foundation we built doesn't really allow for that to happen.
Having a full season with both players could further boost the chances of the Golden Knights, who suffered a first-round exit last season after missing the playoffs in 2023. Stone's health is also paramount on the list for success in Vegas and the 32-year-old is confident he can play in all 82 games after being limited to a combined 136 games over the past three seasons.
"People think I'm lying when I say I expect to play 82 games every year. Unfortunately, I’ve had some tough injuries that I've had to deal with along the way, but I think that just builds the adversity of what our team has gone through over the last number of years. I’m really excited to get the group back together, practicing again, and start to build from the ground up. Starting day one, adding onto an already strong foundation.
