The Vegas Golden Knights might actually have the best fans and the loudest arena in the National Hockey League. That's a bold take for a team that hasn't been in the league for three years yet, but a lot of players would agree with it.

The Athletic

In a Player Poll from The Athletic, the Golden Knights were voted as having the best fans in the NHL and Thursday night, we got a gun glimpse of why many players feel that way.

Late in the 3rd period with the score tied 5-5, Max Pacioretty scored what he and the fans thought was the winner, but the play was blown dead well before the goal. The players just couldn't hear it because it was that loud in the arena.

It might be recency bias, but there's no denying how passionate Vegas fans are and how loud that building gets each and every single game. It's an incredible place to play and we imagine it's part of the reason why Mark Stone was willing to sign an 8-year deal with his new team.

Come the postseason, that arena will be even louder if you can believe it and that will make beating the Golden Knights in Vegas that much more difficult a task.
