PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins and Vegas Golden Knights had Tuesday’s date circled for a long time. The game at PPG Paints Arena marks the return of longtime Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

As emotional as that will be Authentic Vinny Curry Jersey , there’s an aspect to the matchup that is likely a surprise to most in the hockey world compared with what was expected entering the season.

Vegas (35-13-4) is leading the Western Conference in its first NHL season. The expansion team isn’t stumbling and bumbling the way many first-year pro sports teams have.

Coach Gerard Gallant has gotten used to being asked at every stop the team makes about the Golden Knights’ sustained play at a high level. He has a standard answer, pointing to the club’s 8-1 start in October.

“I think the guys built a lot of confidence from Day One,” he said Monday after the team practiced in Pittsburgh. “When you get off to a start like we got off to, the guys believe in themselves. That’s the biggest thing. They believe in themselves. They believe we’re a good team.”

In fact, Vegas has a better record than the defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins (29-22-3), who are third in the tight Metropolitan Division.

So instead of a juggernaut against a newbie, Tuesday’s game pits two of the top teams in the league.

“What they’ve done this year is unbelievable Cheap Martinas Rankin Jersey ,” Pittsburgh defenseman Ian Cole said of the Golden Knights.

“Their record obviously shows that, but they are certainly a team that they never give up. I don’t know how many late-game rallies they’ve had, but it seems like you’ll look at a scoreboard and they’re down 2-1 and you think, ‘Hey, they might actually lose tonight.’ And they come back and win 3-2. And they’ve done it multiple times this year.”

Vegas is 5-7-1 when trailing after two periods.

“From the start, the expectations weren’t that high,” Fleury said. “We have a good group of guys here Cheap B.J. Hill Jersey , good leadership group, guys that have played a lot, been through a lot and won games.

“I don’t think any of us wanted to be satisfied with just being OK. I think we wanted more than that. Life in hockey goes quick. I think you’ve got to make the most out of it. Winning makes a lot of things better, for sure.”

Fleury, selected from Pittsburgh’s roster by Vegas in its expansion draft last summer, arrived there as the promoted face of the new franchise. He missed several weeks earlier this season because of a concussion, but his numbers are stellar — 15-4-2 Authentic Jaime Garcia Jersey , 1.84 goals-against average, .939 save percentage.

He and the Golden Knights beat Pittsburgh 2-1 in their first meeting, but that was in Las Vegas.

It’s expected to be an emotional return for Fleury to PPG Paints Arena after he won three Cups with the Penguins and set club records for wins (375), shutouts (44), playoffs wins (62) and postseason shutouts (10).

“It’s going to be special,” Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang said. “He was a big part of our team for a long time, a great teammate. He’s a guy that was loved by the fans also. It’s going to be an emotional night for him especially and for a bunch of guys who played with him for a long time.”

If Fleury gives up a goal to his longtime close friend Lions Tracy Walker Jersey , Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby, it will stand as the 400th of Crosby’s career.

“You always want to win, but I don’t want to block everything out either,” Fleury said. “It’s going to be a special moment for me, playing the first game back here. I want remember it and remember my time here.”

On the injury front, the Penguins announced Monday that forward Patric Hornqvist is week-to-week with a lower-body injury after being injured by a hit from defenseman Brooks Orpik in Friday’s win over the Washington Capitals.

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators!
