Krispy Kreme offers free donuts and claims their allegiance in the Sharks and Golden Knights rivalry

No doubt about it, the San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights have developed one of the best young rivalries in the entire NHL.

The impetus of the rivalry, of course, was the insane Game 7 comeback by the Sharks in the teams’ first round playoff series this past Spring. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Sharks overcame a three goal deficit by scoring four power play goals in four minutes to absolutely shock the Golden Knights.

Remember this?

It also doesn’t hurt that Sharks forward Evander Kane and Vegas pugilist Ryan Reaves have stoked the fires with their on ice altercations and off ice comments. Add Kane’s recent game ejection against Vegas earlier this week and this rivalry just keeps getting sweeter:

Speaking of sweeter, how’s this for a promotion? Vegas area Krispy Kreme locations are offering up free donuts to customers on Saturday, Oct. 5th should the Golden Knights beat the Sharks in their home opener.
