Well, twice so far....but 8-2 is still pretty good.

You can build a team over a span of years by making nice draft picks and wise trades to win a Cup, or you can just pay $500 million.

 

[cassius]

It will all come down to Fleury..

If he can continue to play out of his mind, I think they win the cup. But if he has a meltdown, they could get swept

 

[Hoek]

I'm scared. Never fun playing against a team of destiny like that.

 

[Albatros]

The result of a fantasy draft of sorts, not an even playing field.

 

[mouser]

It’s pretty crazy. People are going to be disappointed when Seattle can’t replicate this sort of success.

Nah. They will continue winning it all until the end of time.

 

[Snippit]

They've proven they're the best in the Pacific.

But I think the Pacific was the weakest division in the league this year. Given the regular season, it doesn't surprise me Vegas is in the conference finals. They'll be in tough against Winnipeg/Nashville, though.

Im getting out in front of this thread and pegging it a Winnipeg tire pumping thread in disguise.

 

[HanSolo]

Don't like this thread. Motive seems pretty clear to me. Yes we're beatable. Yes Vegas can lose to Winnipeg's almighty superior team. That what you were looking for, OP?

Yep.

 

[BTP]

Theyre gonna take home the cup

Please, the whole board was making fun of McPhee / Vegas for their draft. I'm not even giving McPhee credit, this is all simply the work of a bunch of underdogs coming together to beat the odds.

 

[SavedByRoy]

They are not a good as the Jets or Tampa. If they win the Cup it will be puck luck. (Or divine NHL intervention )

Fleury looked good tonight, but gave up 3 in the 3rd period the last game, and lost 4-0 in game 4. He looked better in the first round.

 

[Future GOAT]

They'll look pretty average when they face the Jets IMO.

I don't care what the situation is, having an expansion team win the Championship in an established league is embarrassing.

 

[Mikeshane]

Let's see what happens when they play a team with a good offense.

Yep.

come on just trying to jinx you..

No one forced all those other teams to give them such tenured all stars as William Karlsson and Rielly Smith lol

That’s a pretty cocky thing to say about a team that beat your team 2/3 times during the season and has surpassed every expectation.

 

[HanSolo]

We'll be sure to pass that on to the League's brass. I'm sure they'll give a shit.

It's long past tiresome seeing people refuse to give this team credit.

Yep.

Actually I was curious if anyone had spotted flaws in the Vegas game. Definitely not meant as a thread to pump Winnipeg or Nashville so sorry if it came across like that.

 

[cpsman]

As an Oilers fan I'm more interested to see what happens to them the year after all this success. Will they lose some of their UFAs? How much will their RFAs demand after such a huge amount of success?

After the Oilers 2006 cup run, they lost several key players (obviously the Pronger trade which doesn't apply here was a big one) and others demanded raises.

If they can keep a set of core players and be perennial threats for the next couple of years, that's a pretty amazing story.

 

[Bonin21]

Laughing at the whiners. Preseason polls all had them dead last. They earned this on the ice.

I think the Jest will beat them quite easily.
