For the second time this season, the Vegas Golden Knights apologized for a tweet that was in poor taste.

On Friday night versus the Nashville Predators, the Golden Knights' Twitter account tweeted that when the Predators scored, media members covering the team began clapping.

The tweet was soon deleted, but not before Jim Diamond of the Professional Hockey Writers Association took exception, demanding an apology and retraction of the tweet on behalf of the Nashville media.

He sent this note to the Golden Knights's media relations department:

I'm writing this on behalf of the Professional Hockey Writers Association chapter of Nashville as well as our entire media corps. We take exception to the irresponsible tweet copied below. It's disrespectful to our credentialed media and we would like a public apology and retraction from the Golden Knights' Twitter account.

Claiming that media is cheering in the press box is a serious issue for journalists, as it can bring up questions regarding their ability to remain fair and unbiased.

The Golden Knights apologized for the tweet Saturday:

The team previously apologized for tweeting out a fake Boston Bruins roster including all girl names in a play on a joke from the movie "Ted," ahead of their game against the club Oct. 15.
