Screw Vegas, I've had enough... Once ESPN called them Hockeytown that was it and their so-called fanbase... I hope Yzerman's team sweeps them

just goes to how niche hockey really is unfortunately. not even a story like this can get media attentionHockeytown is a marketing gimmick with a trademark. If ESPN used it, they are about to pay royalties to the Red Wings. They will be angry enough about that at the Mothership over in legal is my guess.
They are a great story. Honestly it is a little disappointing we got weekly updates on an English Soccer team and here a hockey team on our continent is perhaps the best story in NA pro sports history and it is getting nothing in terms of meaningful discussion. This should be a much bigger story in my opinion.
You're not alone. It's a feel-good story but when a team devoid of any elite talent easily reaches Cup finals for me it screams about mediocrity of the league.Maybe I'm a killjoy but while Vegas has had a cute run and all, it doesn't make me think much of the NHL.

How do you mean "easily"? We've had a 10 year run of 3 teams splitting the cup, with everyone talking about how it means the league has no real parity, how the top teams are still miles ahead of the pack, how "mediocre" teams like the 2010-2016 Wings had no real chance to win anything, how just making the playoffs means nothing unless you're a top contender... but now that Vegas makes the SCF it means the league is mediocre and anyone can easily reach the finals? Nah, not buying it.You're not alone. It's a feel-good story but when a team devoid of any elite talent easily reaches Cup finals for me it screams about mediocrity of the league.
Vegas has a ton of talent. Not sure what you're talking about.

Remember when KQ was traded to us for our first rounder (Vasilevskiy)
Yeah, but still they actually traded that first for KFQ I get it was a long time ago, and we more than likely wouldn’t have taken Vasilevskiy at that spot, but I just remembered that trade with him having such a great run.Yes, over six years ago when Detroit put up over 100 points and won 23 straight home games.

Take that back.They have a lot more in common with Leichester City in my opinion. Team largely thought to be the worst in their league entering their championship winning year. The Miracle on Ice is a forced hockey narrative we can find a better one in my opinion.
Take that back.
Quincey also had another year on his deal when we dealt for him. He was a top4 D signed to a reasonable amount, and was under our control for an extra year. Yeah, that stuff costs. I get if someone just doesn't like Quincey, but if that was Defenceman X, I don't think the cost changes.
