Knights jump on ice well early

Knights win STanley Cup!

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Good for Vegas.

 

[Sarava]

Awesome!!

pro scouting is where the edge is at in current nhl, vegas and seattle have proven that with how they've been built, so much time spent trying to project 18 year old kids that are 5+ years away from making a real impact instead of focusing on all the undervalued assets that are already in the league, what Vegas has done with their roster is unreal, built almost entirely through trades and free agency

Good for Vegas.

should be good for entire league minus the fact that it will lure bettman into trying atlanta again

As we should

Salt Lake City for Yotes

Atlanta + Houston for expansion!

Vegas nearly won the cup their 2nd year of existence. The fact that they've done it in only their 6th season existing is damn impressive.

I'm glad the playoffs are over.

They were kind of boring.

The 28th can't come fast enough.

Congrats to Vegas though.

Ironically enough, the cup keeper (Phil Pritchard) told a story a couple of years ago that the 2010 Blackhawks was the wildest he's ever been around. Which makes sense considering most of those guys were in their 20s and single (and also social media wasn't as prevalent back then).

Nice of TNT to carry coverage thru the PR and Financial people raising cup

ESPN would have cut off coverage 3-4 players in to go to NBA offseason talk

nbc has cut it off before like mid players skating the cup, tnt is great

Usually NBC would move it to NBCSports and postgame

ESPN would simply cut it off and have shown to have nothing but scorn for league durign 1st year back

1st year of existance*

 

[ChiHawks10]

And this is why there is a prescription pain killer problem in the NHL.

Pretty insane the shit these guys play through.

 

[clydesdale line]

I'm sure Vegas also had their fair share of injuries as well. Hockey players are just built different.

 

[Wally1112pac]

That is something that cannot be played through.

If you crack your sternum your worst fear is your next sneeze. Let's not add a board battle on top of that.

 

[Muffinalt]

Jesus Christ. Pretty insane stuff from all of them.

The Florida sweep begins tonight.

4-3 Cats KAChucker with the double OT winner
ripping the guts out of the goodnights,

Hmmm this never aged well.

I was surprised to hear Vegas has the most Canadian players on its roster of any NHL team ... now it makes more sense the way they play the game.

Just realized that the Rags were the Ultimate Losers of the playoffs, a term I totally coined allegedly.

Rags lost to the Devils who lost to the Canes who lost to the Panthers who lost to the Knights.
