At first, i had the "f vegas" mentality.


But now i hope they win. It'll be a big middle finger to doug armstrong (blues gm) bc they have a team of nobodies playing for one another while he has signed and extended a bunch of prima donnas

How Ryan Reaves played out is pissing me off and Im not even a Blues fan . . .


They protect Reaves, ok, loose Perron who is the type of player GMGM was looking for, only to trade Reeves for what would be a bottom 16 pick (good on him for getting a first from the Hens though), only for Vegas to then end up getting him and Perron to head to the SCF with

The outside is a party bigger than the Nats Party Deck, they have the drum crew goin, a good ball announcer and the fans are all cool as hell.  It’s damn hard to go there and not at least become a supporter.


While they had the easiest expansion draft, I think no many GMs would have fucked it up royally and went for “stars” they could market in not only a non-traditional environment, but the cities first sports team.


Yet GMGM went through and grabbed the right players that most people never heard of, and they are two wins away from a Cup final. 


As Herb Brooks said “I’m not looking for the best players, I’m looking for the right players”

Brooks had it right.  Plus, Vegas was taking, at best, the supposedly 11th best player from the other teams except in a few cases.  Imagine them getting Marchessault, Reilly Smith and Gallant all from Fla.  Let's you know how clueless most of the league is.
