Lmao. Montreal and Toronto fans are the fucking worst

Either:
1. He’s just bitter there are more than 6 teams and they can’t win anymore. 2. Dude has to say stupid shit to get clicks and rile up his local customers and fan base. 3. A bit of both
Mainly though, I don’t care. The 1st year headlines shat on Vegas, this year Moneypuck & ESPN predictions all had Vegas as an underdog.

I love just how much our team annoys hockey traditionalists, and to them I say:
I just think Canadian teams need to learn to stop playing gimmicky hockey and learn to play the game the right way, the way traditional markets like Vegas & Florida play. Seriously, why does the league keep trying to make hockey in Canada work? Just pull the plug on this failed experiment already so a real hockey market like Atlanta can have an NHL team again

Leg up over Buffalo? Tf was the league supposed to do? Give Buffalo some picks in our expansion draft?

This is some olympic-level projection.

Classic strawman attack. Pretend we said something outrageous, then slam us for saying it.

Looks like they’re running out of things to complain about so they’re just making stuff up now.

Yet another guy who said we were “a long way from a Stanley Cup final” in 2017 and never got over being wrong.
Hey guys, remember when we invented hockey? That was pretty cool of us.

Nobody I know is arrogant about the knights, especially after the last few seasons.

Ok…. Add Jack Todd to the list of opinions I don’t give a shit about.
--Stabstract--
Know what? I’ll take it.
Ain’t nobody been in love with hockey longer than us, who invented and popularized the game. I don’t even know who Canada is.

Jack Todd is a fucking moron. His twitter account reads like a parody account but it’s 100% real.

Jack Todd is to sports jornalism, what a toilet is to a night of heavy drinking.

Seems like he’s a big supporter of the LGBTQ but is heavily supporting a team with the Staals brothers on it to win it all.. I guess the hatred of a newer team that might win the Stanley cup is outweighs human rights.🤷♂️

It’s always the same. The same people who claimed Vegas completely botched the draft and will be terrible are the same people who totally changed their whole story and now claim that the draft rules set us up for success.
They were gifted a first round pick to take Karlsson. Marchy was undrafted and given to us WITH Smith to protect Jason Demers. The original misfits were really that – no one really believed they could play at the NHL level. They got a similar deal with Tuch and Haula.
Was it beneficial that they had the expansion draft by themselves? Yes. But they made diamonds from players thay everyone else thought were coal.

“A leg up” lol “Vegas isn’t going to do anything this year.” Hockey doesn’t belong in the desert.” Everyone in 2017-18, and now it’s “Vegas was gifted a super team from the start.” It’s not our fault that the Sabres and lots of the longer term basement teams suck. Get over it.

We didn’t invent hockey, we perfected it.

Every time I see takes like this I can’t help but think, do these people not want more hockey fans out there? Vegas does things a little differently, they embrace the city and they turn the game into an event. I really believe that if more sports fans gave hockey a chance they’d be hooked, Vegas making a big deal of it and being so good so quickly is actually good for the sport

The delusion and hate is insane. These people are so fucking miserable.

The playoffs this season have seriously shown me how NHL fans can be the biggest freakin babies. Grow up Jack Todd

It seems every year Vegas gets more and more hate. Every year they always get overlooked as not even close to a contender. I honestly don’t care. Fuck em. I finally have a home team that I can root for. Too fucking bad we didn’t have to go through 20 years of being dogshit. You can complain all you want, but the league made the call. We just capitalized on it. Anyone would have.
greysqualll
I’ve gotta say making it to the finals has made me like hockey less because of just how fucking toxic hockey fans are. Somehow they will say in the same breath that they want to grow the game and also put down a new team succeeding. Shit talking a team is whatever, it’s sports. But these asshats act can’t stop being upset that new fans are enjoying the sport. I honestly hope the knights win the cup, Foley sells the team to fucking newfoundland and the nhl folds in a year. Fuck it, give em what they want.

I dunno who the Vegas Knights are, but the Vegas Golden Knights might need to get ’em for copyright infringement.
In all seriousness, if folks hate us so much, at least get our name right. When they dont, it says much more about them than us.
