Why do we have to tear a team apart? Is this coming from guys that made a killing w them all season, guys that lost this series, or both? As I've said in numerous threads about this series what vegas did was amazing, as a part time garbage blues fan pretty jealous of this expansion team w already as many accomplishments as this 50+ year franchise!! Vegas cashed tickets and defied the odds to get here every step of the way with a group of cast offs from other teams.
Never bought for a second they could beat a team w a huge talent edge like the caps, a team that not only been as talented as any in the league for years but also had the hunger of being the best team of this era not to win the cup!!! Once sid the kid and the lightening were out of the way nobody in the east stood a chance vs these caps w 1st round draft picks all over the place, a all timer in 8, and a goalie playing out his mind!!
Don't turn on these knights after delivering you a great season (they made me wish I bet regular season hockey but was always too skeptical to jump on!!), lots of you got paid quite nicely by vegas all year, for those I understand wanting to ride it all the way, just don't be mad at them when they finally hit the spot in the road where effort wasn't enough! It took all way till the finals for a more talented team to match the knights effort and intensity! Don't kid yourself? Knights didn't get this far by being the best the west had to offer, just the most hungry! Hell of a run and think you should remember it as that!
(as I count my caps money!
sorry but this series was so easy for guys like me with no emotional investment and hadn't grown fond of vegas while cashing regular season checks curtesy of them!!
