The franchise, participating in its first playoff series in its first year of existence, produced an awe-inspiring introduction show featuring a duel, a lantern-toting hype man, the Blue Man Group and more before Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round against the Los Angeles Kings.
The intro was part-Medieval Times, with a showdown between the victorious Vegas knight and his Los Angeles counterpart, and part-concert, with The Drumbots providing a beat.
It was all touched with a very Vegas flair.
The team even unveiled a 20-foot, 2,375-pound helmet - that dropped from the ceiling -- for the team to skate through while entering the ice.
