Gallant's Bus Tour Pushes Golden Knights' Bigger-Than-Hockey Vision

Gerard Gallant is using the kind of old-school, get-in-the-Bus-and-grind approach that says this organization wants to feel like a real franchise, not a pop-up act. The story is less about the ride itself and more about what it says about the Golden Knights' early identity, as they try to turn momentum into something lasting. Gallant knows expansion teams can get treated like a curiosity until they prove otherwise, and he is clearly trying to fast-track that proof.
