We’ll when you get handed a good player from every single team. How would you not have a good team. 6 long years? GTFO
The score was actually 9-3. The caption is wrong.
I had to explain a lot of times, the difference between forechecking and backchecking to people, in the Knights inaugural season.
The Golden Knights made the Stanley Cup Finals in their first season, so I'd say they've always been a great team. I think getting a better goalie than Fleury pushed them over the top. Think back to when the Predators, Wild, Thrashers, and Blue Jackets entered the NHL. By comparison, they were awful.
“From Vegas” it’s painfully sad that other Americans don’t know that people actually live and are born and raised in Vegas. We’re truly an isolated island from the rest of the country.
Tom is such a salty sally. Golden knights are your daddy now.
You forget how important this team is to Vegas. This team made the finals in the same year the mass shooting happened and helped the city heal. This almost feels like a completion of that arc.
The open mic standup comedian take…
The Blues were an expansion team in the 1960s and got to the finals twice, I think, but were killed if four games by Montreal and then Boston, where Orr scored his famous goal.
Of course, the Blues didn't win a cup until 2019.
.o
Not as remarkable as it used to be. This was one of very rare expansions that had legitimate talent and management from day 1.
Dbacks won the world series in their 4th year. Scoreboard😂
IIRC the deal for Milwaukee or Wisconsin to get an NHL team fell apart because those involved did not believe reaching the finals or winning a Stanley cup in 6 years was achievable. Welp this only makes that hurt a little bit more, clearly those pitching for a WI NHL team were right, it is possible for an expansion team to win one in 6 years.
"I DiDn'T KnOw ThOsE PeOpLe ExiSteD" who does he think cleans up after him?
Everyone keeps using this whole "6 long years" joke and it's really unoriginal. I'm born and raised in Las Vegas and i have loved hockey me entire life. Started here with the Las Vegas Thunder. The Stanley Cup now calls the Silver State home!!!
We love the hate we get
Building a winning expansion franchise is alot easier now than 35 years ago. Look how awful Ottawa,San Jose, Anaheim were. Vegas is one off the best teams since they came in. Now look at how Seattle improved over one year.
Where do you think all the people come from who help take care of you tourists when you visit? Area 51?
Saying a majority of the population probably never watched hockey is such a dumb comment. Go find the TV ratings by city prior to 2017 and you’ll find Las Vegas in the top 10 multiple years in a row.
The Flyers won in year 7 without nearly the expansion draft benefits of the Golden Knights. Of course, there were fewer teams then.
People wanna complain about the Knights but this has happened before.
Marlins won a WS in year 3
Diamondbacks won a WS in year 6
Edmonton oilers won in year 5
It's usual but it happens.
Hell the Carolina Panthers and Jags made it to conference championships within 2 years of existence
And the Browns….well they still stink after 23 years
Ya Vegas had no financial responsibilities from the start so they could pick their players under a cap and map it out but nonetheless awesome
A cup every 6 years pretty good at that rate just 144 years to tie my habs 😊
