Bryce Harper didn't hold back his Vegas Golden Knights fandom during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final at Capital One Arena on Monday night.
The Vegas native has attended a number of Capitals games through the years, even supported them by sporting their colors to games.

Harper and his wife, Kayla, cheered on the Golden Knights from a suite as his Nationals teammates, Ryan Zimmerman and Max Scherzer, lost their minds for the Caps down below.

Of course. I get it. But here's what I would say. Let's be real. That team's been around for 20 minutes. He's been a guest of the Capitals for years, in the locker room, met multiple times. Worn the jersey, that whole kind of thing."
"If it was me, I would keep it to a dull roar," he said. "I'd root for the Knights if I was from Vegas, probably, but I'd probably stay at home, and I wouldn't troll the entire area and the team that's had you there as a guest for years. I personally wouldn't."
"It's a little less than classy, in my opinion," Bickel went on to say. "But you know what? You do you. We're only going to have to deal with you for a few more months anyway."
