Am I the only one offended by the "Cindarella Story" moniker that people are using for the Golden Knights? I despise them and this the disturbing trend of using that phrase to describe their season. I get scoffed at every time I say it and I don't get why people are so behind them and using it because they aren't a "Cindarella Story".

If any team is a Cinderella Story... it's the Winnipeg Jets. (And no, I'm not a Jets fan. I am a Canucks fan to my core, but I've jumped on their playoff bandwagon)

If anything, the team in Vegas can only be described as privledged. They were given an unfair advantage when a group of moronic owners ok'd expansion draft terms that essentially robbed other teams of good players.

The Knights didn't have to start from bare bones and build and they have no idea what it means to HAVE to do it. They didn't have to move in a struggling team and turn it golden. It was handed directly to them. They (and their fans) haven't been underdogs... they haven't paid their dues and put the work in... they haven't had to suffer decades of disapointment, face overwhelming adversity or claw their way to the top like the Winnipeg Jets and their fans.

So I say again... The WINNIPEG JETS are the TRUE Cinderella Story (As are the Caps) and every other team and fan in the NHL should be offended by the Vegas Golden Knights and that description.

Who cares about this “earning it” poo poo? They are a good team and fun to watch. The league is better off having interesting stories like this. It sucks that the NHL is so bad at marketing because this is drawing interest to the game and they should do more with it.

for real though even if its a good story i dont think the jets are a "cinderella" story. for years pundits were like "man this team is gonna be good, maybe even win a cup!...someday, if their prospects pan out, they move on from pavelec, and overhaul their bottom six." then exactly those things happened and now the jets are on a great run.

THG is cool, if a little strange. Pretty vanilla hockey discussion, but his videos are nice, short, to the point previews and recaps of games. He’s fairly unbiased and tends to be a voice of reason/anti-hot takes guy. I’m guessing he’s making fun of people who claim hockey is rigged in this one.

I've stumbled upon his videos. It's like watching a parody of a Canadian hockey fan, except it's real. He's the opposite of hot takes. In fact, he's sorta boring. But sometimes you just want to hear a 20 minute long soliloquy about the pros and cons of the 1995 Devils neutral zone trap. More power to him, dude clearly loves hockey.
