NHL Hands Down Stiff Penalty to Golden Knights. The National Hockey League has dealt a significant blow to the Vegas Golden Knights, stripping the team of its second-round draft pick in response to their decision to boycott the post-game media session following their series-clinching win over the Anaheim Ducks. The move is seen as a strong stance against the team's refusal to address the media, which is a crucial aspect of the league's communication protocol. Meanwhile, Golden Knights coach John Tortorella has been fined a hefty $100,000 for his role in the team's decision, highlighting the league's commitment to enforcing its rules. The penalties are a clear indication that the NHL will not tolerate teams or coaches who disregard its media obligations.
