Thanks. One of my clients' husband is a minority owner of the team. She's gone nuts now that they're in the playoffs. She's posted pictures of herself in the jersey she wears every day and the team banner she's got up in her office.

They're not only in the playoffs, they're in the Conference Finals.

Eight wins from Lord Stanley.

And I supposed to be on my way around the time and place..
Decided to stay for a little longer where I am now. Luckily fancy 99% one, not a big fan of sweeties.

The fact that an expansion team in their first season might win the cup stinks of rigged games to me. "Let's throw the new team some good press so that they build up a fan base."

They're in post season. Ask me something about Steinbrenner, Martin and Jackson. Pretty much the last time I really paid attention to sports.

In 1918 an expansion team, Toronto won the cup and in 1968 an expansion team, St Louis, made it to the Cup Finals, got killed by Boston.

Basically it's every 50 years.

Toronto is one of the "Original Six", not an expansion team. Not only that, but Toronto is one of the two original founding teams of the NHL (the other is Montreal).


What I'm saying here is that I think Las Vegas is probably being "allowed" to win in order to gather interest in them. Who the heck would've thought of a hockey team in the middle of the stinkin' desert? Gary Bettman retire NOW! lol

Yeah, the first year of the NHL, Toronto was technically an expansion team. :P

As for Vegas being allowed to win, you're nuts.. :P The expansion draft allows a team to do what they are doing so long as the coaching is good. They had loads of all stars to choose from and Fleury is a future hall of famer.

And there has been a team in the middle of the desert for over ten years now, not to mention two cups won in the state of Florida, one in Texas, one in the Carolinas, and three in Los Angeles, where it never gets below 70 degrees. :P

Lemon_Curry: It was just a bad joke, that's all. I'm not making any assumptions. :)

Point_Man: Also just want to make sure i make it clear i wasn't calling you an asshole or anything i was talking about me making the assumption that it might have been piracy. I apologize if it came off like that.
No worries, mate. I didn't misunderstand you – thanks for being so considerate though. :)
