If you missed the Vegas Golden Knights' opening introduction ceremony for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Capitals Monday, it was long, elaborate, Medieval Times-y and long.
It featured bows, arrows, EDM and other dramatic tones, and sword fighting, because, ya know, they're the Knights.
The T-Mobile Arena public address announcer even declared to the singsong-y crowd that it's "Knight time."

— NHL on NBC (@NHLonNBCSports) May 29, 2018People either liked it or they didn't, but one should really question the motives of someone declaring it "the most incredible intro," mainly because I have no idea what they were watching.
Or, to put it more succinctly:
WTF am I watching? #VegasKnightsIntro
— Bill Burr (@billburr) May 29, 2018The Junkies took a moment out of their Tuesday morning broadcast to properly ridicule the pregame introduction.
EB: I've never paid attention to their uniforms. I haven't even thought for more than two seconds about their name. I didn't realize it was such a nerdy team, like I was at a RenFest or something. I was like, 'Oh my God.'
Cakes: It's like the Excalibur exploded all over.
EB: Yeah, exactly!
Cakes: The Excalibur! The Golden Knights!
EB: I was like, my God, this is the nerdiest team in the history of sports.
JP: They've got a castle in the building.
EB: Yeah. Get outta here. I hate them.
Cakes: Can anybody explain -- I'm guessing you guys can't, maybe a Golden Knights fan can, somebody who's been a fan of hockey for five minutes can explain this to me -- what is the cranking thing that they do?
Bish: I don't know. I was wondering what that was.
JP: Maybe that's for the door of the castle.
Cakes: Maybe you're right. I don't know. Why was Lil Jon and everyone else cranking that thing before the game started? I don't understand what that is.
Eventually, hockey was played, and the Capitals went down 6-4 in a shootout and 0-1 in the series.
JUNKIES: Tom Wilson Shouldn't Be Suspended
