Max Pacioretty calls out Golden Knights over lack of accountability for losing
Max Pacioretty was recently traded to the Carolina Hurricanes this offseason by the Vegas Golden Knights. The veteran forward apparently was not happy during his time in Vegas, especially with the management.
«When I first got to Vegas, it was weird that there was, like, no accountability. And I'm not talking about in the team; I'm talking about like ever. You couldn't feel pressure coming off anyone else, from the coach to the management,» said Pacioretty.
«I mentioned that at the end of the year that no one is really holding us accountable. If we have a bad year like this, the city would be half on fire in Montreal. Here in Vegas, it's 80 degrees, and it's sunny. We're getting our car washed and getting our organic food, and going to play golf. I was kind of like, 'we've got to police this thing a little better amongst each other.' I don't want to say it was a country club, but you have no one from the outside holding you accountable.»

The Knights are already one of the most hated teams in the NHL, and a class act like Pacioretty coming out against them will only further worsen their reputation.
