How can you not want to cheer on this plucky expansion club that has exceeded all expectations? It's the feel good story of the decade. They're totally my #2 team. :thumbu:

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago. You can't swing a cat without hitting some Golden Knights merchandise.

Say what you will about their burnout-junkie-former-hooker-degenerate-gambler fans, but they have embraced that team.

If thou survive the well-contented Vegas,
When Death my bones with dust shall cover,
And shalt by fortune once more then re-shag us
And reveal the crude lines of these one-hit mothers,
Compare them with the thickening of the slime,
That builds upon the strips and fancy-ass'd hotels again,
Reserve them for our revenge, not for their rhyme,
Executed by a stature of happier men.
O, then vouchsafe me but this begrudg'd thought:
'Had Fleury’s plastic Muse grown of moribund age,
His thicker girth destroy’d the reflex he once sought,
To march in ranks of forwards with better equipage:
But as coaches fry routinely with McCrimmon’s pounce
Their recent play is but puck luck and a dead cat bounce.

Actually, it's not that they have embraced the "Golden Showers," most of the locals casinos constantly give away VGK merchandise. Just wait until next year when they have to compete against the Raiders, I doubt anyone will even pay attention to hockey, except us out-of-towners.:laugh:

I sense a real fondness for the Golden Knights among the locals there. The NHL was smart to get in there first. NFL might hurt them - but I think there's room for both down there. BTW: that new stadium looks like it's going to be something else. Drove by it a couple of times and it looks like an alien mothership. $2B goes a long way down there...

was smart for the NHL to get a team in there a few years before the NFL. Get a chance to develop a fan base to some degree first and hope retain them or at worst split em. That being said f*** those guys and their petty seemingly vindictive behaviour (oh don't underline that in red spellcheckamericansavages) towards us. Hope we leave them beaten, tired and demoralized.
