Calling out Polar Bear in paricular here as you epitimize the "given great breaks school of thought" on the Knights...
I sincerely hope Rink Rat made you re-think your comments how "lucky" this team is with all the breaks they got in the draft and even in beating the Kings with suspensions, etc...seriously, bro, I have resected your comments over the years but you, sir are WAY off here..and if they find a way to finish the job, hope you show up at the parade down the strip...
Teams could still protect 95% of their rosters, what did Tampa get to choose from 2% or something? Oh wow, that changes everything...what you fail to see if how they also made great trades, had a plan for certain players, a vision in style and brought in a coach who demanded consistency and benched those who took games off...and he was clearly smart enough to play the "no respect" card effectively all year...because this team has never looked too far ahead...
Lucky suspensions? The Kings were clearly slower all series and if not for Quick's unbelievabe play would have lost 4-1, 6-1 in some games...
YOU will never, ever see this again in your lifetime from an expansion team in ANY sport so enjoy and appreciate the ending..unbelievable job and hopefully a lesson for the other teams what to demand from their players...in fact I appreciate what Ovechkin's doing showing the same determination like goal 1 last night-this is the only team that wanted this as much as Vegas, and it could be their downfall...but THANK YOU KNIGHTS no matter what happens

Great run by golden night but I think they are done. The last 2 games they’ve got man handled. The save by holtby in game 2 was game changer. Unless they pick it up in game 4 and if they keep playing like they have last 2 games stick a fork in them.

Yes, unfortunately they had to run into a team with more overall talent combined with even bigger chips on their shoulders from flat out choking for years..you know they should have beaten the Pens at least half the times blowing game 7's at home..
So they finally get by them and the pressure is off, they can play to their talent level but they are not taking it for granted, blocking 26 shots last night, etc...this is too much to beat for Vegas, their all around talent level isn't as high..
Any other team including the Pens, I think the Knights finish it off, catching those teams less desperate but Salut YOU KNIGHTS..because my point above, who else in the league played like them this season and in many past??

I think you're absolutely right about the coach playing the 'us against the world' card since the beginning of the season. The players definitely bought in calling themselves the Golden Misfits and it's been their rallying point all season.
Extremely smart move by Galant, however the idea that these players were unwanted castoffs from their former teams is just not true. There were definitely some mistakes, Minnesota and Florida stand out the most, but all teams were forced to leave guys unprotected. At the end of the day you use whatever works to win and Vegas bought in to this 'Misfit' concept. Ask the 30 other teams though if they can have their player back and I think the answers would all be yes.

Ok, but you know, none of those teams drafting alone under these rules would EVER be 3 wins from the CUP...not even close...
And if the NHL is wise, they'll leave it alone because it's brought way more positive attention to the sport that still shows it's games on patchwork cable networks...

Thanks, Polar! It just now seems they'll have to really find a Genie-the Caps could beat any WCC of the past if they keep this focus, blocking 26 shots a game, leaping for and blocking pucks...beautiful also to see a team beating itself for years finally get there...

Not exactly as to what you are referencing in terms of rethinking my thoughts I have based upon a lifetime of watching the NHL and other pro sports entertainment leagues, but for certain no one on this site would be making me change those thoughts that is for damn sure lol, Especially not from anyone with less experience playing, watching and being around the game through life or who changes the team they cheer for more than their underwear, the epitome of a FANBOY.. With that said EVERYONE is welcome to their opinion and thoughts in general. I am done on the topic, I would like to think forever to be honest, I think I have exhausted it, people agree or they don't and that is ok. I am watching here and there and am posting here and there for one reason only now and that is financial gain and to share selections I have made. Other than for wagering purposes I am basically completely done with all pro sports entertainment corporations, including the the National Hoax League or NHL. So I will not be celebrating anyone's parade and could care less about the Knights success or lack there of. And no argument here by the way of the Knights being better than the Kings, I think the Kings stink, nor sure where you got that from. I think you misunderstood my example of the Doughty suspension however if you don't think a team having their best player taken away from them for a pivotal game that they lost in overtime means anything, well then good for you, you are as I say welcome to your own view of things. I was simply showing the obvious and blatant example of a horrible repeat offender in Tom Wilson being given free reign to leave his charge, leave his feet and almost decapitate two players within a week, injuring both of them seriously with head trauma and knocking them both out of their respective series' while receiving zero punishment for either infraction/assault, while the same men deciding not to punish him instead punish/suspend an all word star in Doughty with zero bad history for leaning into a player. Anyone that can't see the obvious issue there, are people I will never be able to make understand so the merry go round just goes round and round.
I am here just to gamble, not as a fan at all. I despise the NHL and the entire sports business now. I watch now only to capitalize on financial gain or try to so I have to watch to study and see what is going on but only to a certain extent. I will celebrate Washington of they can manage to win because for my own reasons I gambled that they would win the cup during the regular season, as the playoffs started and bet them both first two rounds and hit them heavy again for this series so I will celebrate that if my GUESS I made brings me winnings as I stand to win quite a bit especially from the bets during the regular season on made on them t fat odds. I hope all if well in your life. Good to see you again and all the best going forward.
I don't proof read anything so I apologize in advance if there any errors. I hope you enjoy the rest of the NHL Championship. I no longer refer to it as The Stanley Cup, that would be a great insult to the great Lord Stanley himself who by all historical accounts was a great, honest and fair man. The NHL have not been either of those three things for many years now.
Cheers!

I did just reread that, I usually never do, but took a second this time. That is just awful lol. My apologies to anyone reading the mess above, I type super fast here and never check it I promise my spelling and grammar are both top notch, even though it is hard to tell. Just don't have the patience on here anymore. Cheers!

huge-also in that '92 draft existing teams could protect more players-truly table scraps for those 2 teams, rules for protection changed in '93 for both Florida and Anaheim surprise surprise! this doesn't take away from the great job Gallant with this group in Vegas..
Rules in 93 changed for Anaheim and Florida "surprise surprise". What do you mean by that? C'mon now....don't be shy.

whatever Polar, good luck to you in life, I'm not a Knights fan, just appreciate unusual achievement...I've watched expansion teams for 50 years and nothing comes close..they wiped out 3 good teams in the playoffs and it's not because of the draft
That's all.

Not because of the draft?? LOL....If they had not changed the draft rules SPECIFICALLY AND JUST FOR THEM then they would not have been able to draft the team they did and make all the deals they did to leave certain players alone on teams. It literally HAS EVERYTHING to do with the draft that was specially conceived JUST FOR THEM. Now after they were propped up by the NHL to allow them to have this team, what they did with it is still to be commended, the players have done well within a very good system created by the team and specifically a fantastic coach in Gerrard Gallant. However saying a draft that was created JUST FOR THEM had nothing to do with it is preposterous.
They had to change the rules for them because this time there was no young talented team to rob from another city.
They STOLE a young talented North Star team from the poor people of Minnesota so the City of Dallas could have a championship right away. They STOLE a young talented Nordique team from the poor people of Quebec so Colorado could have a championship right away They changed the rules for Vegas so they could compete for a championship and possibly win one right away.
They did these things to make sure hockey could make it in places it otherwise would have had no shot at making it. Colorado had an NHL franchise already and the team was not supported and folded quickly so they knew they had to rob the people of Quebec and Canada as a whole of an extremely talented young team and an incredible rivalry with Montreal to have hockey make it in Colorado, now even after all that success they are again at the bottom of the league in attendance which is pathetic. They had to do that because it was already proven there were no real hockey fans in Colorado. They stole the Jets too and dropped them in the desert. They dumped an abysmal Atlanta with no talent on it back in Winnipeg years later after Atlanta failed for a second time to support an NHL team because they didn't nowhere to dump the garbage fire that was the Thrasher franchise so they threw Winnipeg a used condom and told them smile to enjoy it..
The pieces of crap that run the NHL have stolen our teams,stolen our stars, changed the way our game is played, fukked with our culture and heritage by corrupting and ruining the only game we have, a game that was our religion, a game almost all of used as a character gauge while playing it growing up as kids. So you have to excuse some of us if we have anger, disappointment and sadness when it comes to the theft, corruption and destruction of our once incredible game and the pro league we all once loved.
The NHL and all of it's crooked, criminal, cheating, politicking pieces of corrupt shittfaced, lawyering mobsters can all gather together down there south of our border and go fuk themselves, every last one of the supreme kunts that they are.

Amazing the way everyone just writes off The Knights, because of a couple(one extremely unlucky) losses. They'll show back up tonight, you can bet on that, grab the easy plus money, and it's also a good time to place a series bet on them at +190

Comrade!!! Nationalism at it's best!!! Yes, the great game BELONGS to the Border Toppers! . If only we could move all the teams back to the Home Land! Rumor is that Saskatoon is bidding to make the Golden Knights their own! (It's true! Google it!!!) THAT would be REAL hockey! Fredericton is wooing Ted Leonsis to get away from crime-riddled D.C. - Ovi will LOVE it there!!! And best of all, the biggest stateside failure of them all, the Florida Panthers (I mean The Great Game in Miami????) will move..... and for one year....be known as the Halifax Supreme Kunts (great marketing ploy to attract more and more of you GREAT Border Toppers to buy HSK merchandise!!!)

And we'll never see another expansion team enjoy the expansion draft rules the Knights got to enjoy either.
Umm..well you maybe missed what Satanic Commissioner Gary ("Southern Project") Bettman said recently on the subject, after the league meetings. On the subject of the expansion draft rules for the new team in Seattle, the NHL decided the rules will be the same as they were for Vegas.
Of course this does not disavow your supremely intelligent post in another thread about Vegas being "forgotten" if they do not win the Ugly Cup. You are SOOOO Smart and aware!!!
