Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

knights with a 3-1 lead is the 68th time a team has had a 3-1 lead in a conference final series. the all time record so far is 1-66 for the team with only one win. what team came back from one win to take the series?

Vegas will be bad. Vegas won't make the playoffs. Vegas will get bounced in the first round by star power. Vegas won't beat a real team like the Sharks. Vegas will get stomped by a central team. No way Vegas beats the Capitals lightning.

I absolutely love people being massive bitchbabies about an expansion team possibly winning.

What Vegas really benefited from is the salary cap, which got dumb GMs, who love overspending, to trade players in a package so they could unload bad salary deals on them. But even then that usually leads to a mediocre team. Gallant has these guys firing on all cylinders, and he deserves all the accolades.

If Vegas does win the Cup it will be great because A) Nate Schmidt, and B) all the other GMs will be maximally shamed, especially Florida.

Beer Loses more than a game Sunday ...
We lost our Captain, our Teammate, our Friend Kelly Calabro...
Rest in Peace my friend you will be greatly missed..
I've said this earlier, but Washington getting garboed by Fleury in the finals is the funniest possible Cup final. I think that would make Vegas winning it well worth it for just about anybody.

I am 100% ok with Vegas winning if they're playing Tampa but I still want OV to win a Cup first. Them losing to an expansion team in their first year led by MAF would be the Capsiest thing possible though.

Good. Had to be done, I was worried Trotz wouldn't pull the trigger.

e: it would be nice to see Kempny sit out for a game to teach a lesson about passing in your own end, but I guess we can't have everything
