Agreed. We all know who that one people is.

VGK likes to play a very aggressive forechecking game and play in the other team's end.

I admit I do not know hockey as well as some people on the board. However, the best aggressive fore-checking game I saw in my life came from Pittsburg last year and the year before. Do you think Vegas is better at this than Pittsburg?

I don't necessarily agree with the "the fans haven't suffered" line. How long has that city been trying to get a pro team, in any sport?

Its not about suffering. Its about Vegas didn't really earn anything. I admit the team has overachieved but the lame expansion rules gave them a pretty decent team right out if the gate. Some proven vets, some good young players, a few prospects and some draft picks acquired in trades.
I believe in building a team. This team built nothing. People think Mcphee is a genius for his picks. Any moron could have picked a pretty decent team. So what if you didn't select a particular player from a certain team. It didn't matter much because there was another player just as good. Every team left a few decent players or prospects available. It was a no lose situation.
In my opinion the Caps are a bigger Cinderella story than Vegas is.

Love this joke
There three men were talking about the sad state of their local club;
The first fan blamed...: "I blame the manager; if we could sign better players, we'd be a great club."
The second fan blamed...: "I blame the players; if they made more effort, I'm sure we would score more goals."
The third fan blamed...: "I blame my parents; if I had been born in a different town, I'd be supporting a decent team."
