Fadingpain Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Caps seemed to have more in the gas tank than Vegas did. And another franchise is removed from the "never won a championship" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely brought the heat in the 3rd period to outscore them 2 - 0 Christ I'm tired I couldn't spell definite (seems a good excuse) VGK had a good run and beat some very good teams. But the way the Caps were playing for the most part) they seemed destined to win the cup. 58 minutes ago, /dev/null said: Gratz to the Caps Now I enter my 3 month sports desert between the Stanley Cup and the start of NCAA NFL football fixed it for you.

CommonCents Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Did you see the picture of Ovi carrying the cup on the ice and the chick with her boobs out pressed against the glass? She is a yes on the do me test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of an expansion team taking the Cup in their first year, when other middling franchise like the Sabres can't get the job done in 50 years, is hilarious. 1 Sabres made it to the final in their 4th season, the Panthers in their 3rd..lets see where Vegas goes from here. in 50 years, may be calling them "middling and never won the Cup" as well! 1 hour ago, ShadyBillsFan said: https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2018/6/7/17440132/tsm-washington-capitals-stanley-cup-champions-vrana-schmidt-ovechkin-perron-smith-eller-ovechkin humorous article you know whats in that article and it still drives nuts???

Dante Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 12 hours ago, DC Tom said: Glad Vegas didn't win...with the Sabres bottom-dwelling, I'm not sure I could have handled an expansion team winning the Cup. Still...Vegas has nothing to be ashamed of. Years from now, people will remember the Caps winning a championship primarily because if "Oh yeah, that was the Golden Knights miracle season..." At first, I was a bit resentful of the Knights. Got a much nicer kick-start than every other expansion team. As I thought about it more and the initial emotional response faded, I realized maybe this is how it should be done. If it was me investing a half a billion dollars to divided up amongst all the other teams I should get something besides an admission into the league. And really, it doesn't seem to be a good plan to have a horrible product in a non-traditional market at launch. So I came to terms with how this was done. Then I started to enjoy all the Vegas bullshite that comes with this team. I just like the fun aspect of it. It's Vegas and that's how it is there. I was a bit let down by the final as the Knights seemed to run out of steam. For whatever reason, they just were not the same team. Maybe they finally realized they were out of their depth and lost confidence? Anyway as far as the Sabres go it really appears that they are acquiring (or going to with the #1 pick) some nice pieces to put a playoff team together in the next couple years. Eichel, Dahlin and I watched O'Reilly in the Worlds last month and he looked really good. The key is acquiring quality players whose value is more than what you budget under the cap. Something like what the Penguins do. Top heavy salary but great scouting fills the roster with value players. And getting a solid goalie would be nice as well.

Dante Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Son Mike was at the MGM in Vegas last night and got this video of Ovi! Not even close to being a Cap's fan but amazing he was there to get the vid. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1He1E6zottlHpxJE7ck4XF9URM5n3BQas/view?usp=sharing Edited June 8, 2018 by Dante 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowgirlsFan Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I noticed the O too. I knew it meant for the Orioles. I think I learned that from @Mike in Horseheads I liked the RED better. I did notice the NIGHT there in Vegas also. When the anthem is played at the Stars game the word STAR is yelled too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
