Not sure why we started using the pre-game talk prefix instead of GDT on gamedays but WHAAATEVER. fixed

I predict glorious victory tonight. 4-2 Caps. ENG for, oh, Wilson. Kuzy, Ovie, and Carlson score as well.

Any other Caps fans going to be at the game tonight?
I'm looking forward to seeing the new arena and hoping Holtby is a brick wall tonight.
9-1 Caps...the Great 8 with 5 assists, Beagle gets a shorthanded hatty, and Fleury flops himself right out of the game in the 1st.

why? do you prefer Vegas struggles for the first few years?
They shouldn't have a better chance of building a team than any other expansion team has in the past. It was way too easy for Vegas. Because of the rules of the expansion draft they were able to build a decent team with a bit of depth immediately. The expansion draft also allowed them to make a few trades as well. They may not have the superstars but they have a very solid roster. They are deeper than half the teams in the league.

Why did the Panthers leave a 30 goal scorer unprotected? GMGM got lucky.
We dont know the reasoning behind that. Its possible the Panthers tried to make a deal with Vegas and couldn't work something out. A few teams made trades to Vegas to save players from being selected. There were rumors wee tried to make a deal so we could keep Schmidt

Jealous of you guys there. I really wanted to be at this game. Just bad timing. Hope the boys come out fired up and ready to play 60 mins after last night.

Making a mistake many times is not a good reason to keep doing it. Vegas won't be able to build a solid fanbase if they spend the next 5 years at the bottom of the league, it's good business.

and let's face it, they are a lot better than they should be, mainly because of the Panther's stupidity. Without those two they are much much worse.

What about the existing teams that have struggled for years? You don't see the league helping them build. The league didn't need to expand.

The Panthers decided to protect 4 dmen so they could only protect 4 forwards. The expansion rules were a joke.
