LAS VEGAS — Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon was pleased to announce to leadership and the fan base in Las Vegas that brand awareness of the Golden Knights tripled almost overnight after their Game 6 shutout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

“I’m really proud of our marketing team,” stated McCrimmon tearfully mimicking George McPhee, “Their nonstop work ensured that the people in the lovely villages of Morocco and Kenya would know the Golden Knights brand and they delivered whole-heartedly. Our hats are off to them and on a boat to Madagascar.”

“Of course, this was the plan all along,” said Mitch Marner, number 93 of the Golden Knights. “Our plan was to never actually take the Cup, but the free press in a huge untapped marketing area, like Africa.”

NHL League Commissioner Gary Bettman had a lot to say but couldn’t comment over the boo birds.
