Let me say this.

For the past week, there hasn't been a time where I've reloaded the page and there wasn't a notification that there was a new post on the Vegas board, and I love it.

You guys have come alive for the playoffs, and it's awesome.

We have a great team, a great fanbase, and I'm glad you've all come here to talk hockey. It's awesome.

We're a small board, and a small fanbase, but I think we've hit far above our weight class when it comes to boards, and with very few moderation issues.

Thank you all, I'm proud to be a VGK moderator.

It's gonna take longer to build a forum community than it did to build the fanbase. I think that's always the case. Lots of media and social chatter out there, but eventually, fans want to go deeper in their understanding of, and connection with, the team.

Just want to get a lot more people. With how lively Twitter is with VGK, want to get some of them.

 

[ChanceVegas]

Seems a small but level-headed bunch here. The VGK fans here seem to be above the fray mostly, which is hard to do in some boards on this site.

Agreed with all the previous posts. Let me say this. I'd really like to see all the posts from people who live/lived in Vegas talking about living in Vegas/local news go in the Visitor's thread. http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/a-new-visiting-las-vegas-thread.2423797/page-9#post-141879031 When I go in the OT thread and it's got posts that only those posters can appreciate, it's very discouraging and it seems like a great way to discourage non-Vegas people from posting there.

Being a longstanding Pens fan and previous Pens HF contributor, I think the advantage of the Vegas Golden Knights subforum is that Knights fans don't feel entitled (yet) and they have lowered expectations. This allows for more patience with failure and a greater appreciation for success. This, of course, might change with increased success.

Suggestion: The first hundred VGK fans who have seven posts (or some other arbitrary number) in the VGK subforum should be recognized. They should be able to attach the title VGKfan #X to their avatar.

I'd rather have a small group than add the social media types. My GF shows me some of the ridiculous posts from IG, FB, & Twitter & it feels like we don't need any of that here at all.

Agreed. Social media seems more fit for the casual fans. It's the more hardcore fans of the game that end up here.

If it deals with new venues/shows/restaurants, then I can see that. But business of LV news? And why is it I'm about the only one that posts LV stuff in OT thread?

Dilly Dilly!

Sharks cry that for Dylan Demelo and Brendan Dillon, so you might want to remove that from vocabulary.

I've been a proud supporter of the Knights ever since the city was announced for expansion. Being a Kings supporter since the early 80's, I looked forward to having a team that I could start at the bottom with, and watch them grow into a championship--type team.

I don't say much on these forums, but, I'm happy as Hell to be a part of it. I'm always checking in to see what everyone has on their minds. I might live in Washington, but, I'm part of the "Vegas Born" Army!

Onward Knights!

I take full credit, everyone missed me while I was busy with work... don’t think it could have been timed any better.... except I missed Karlssons 40th and the clinching game.

Well this explains their play at the end of the season. Shame on you, Hangman.

My problem was that I was spending TOO much time here while at work, and I didn't want the distraction. I've still been supporting the team from Los Angeles, I went to the game at Staples Center on Feb 26, and I still keep posting a Squire Report to my blog every month. But I've been busy with traveling this year, including my quest to see a game in every NHL arena (scratched Winnipeg, Detroit and Toronto off the list so I only have 3 left!), and preparing for my wedding.

But now it's the playoffs, so it seemed like a good time to come back!

 

[VegasKnightlife]

I was a casual Ducks fan for five years. Finding my love for hockey late the Ducks never felt like my team. In August while on a trip with my wife to Las Vegas I began to read about the Knights.

I saw they had Fleury, James Neal, and that they acquired Shea Theodore. I thought the Ducks were foolish to trade a talented young defenseman like Shea. I started to read everything I could about VGK.

Googled and found this forum. Love it here and am even keeping track of VGK prospects. The posters here are awesome, and I'm sure the forum will grow. Win or lose I'm a Golden Knight fan!

I agree with everything BattleBorn said, and I'd like to add that it wasn't my plan to fall in love with this team. But the heart wants what the heart wants.
