Cdub100 3,381 Posted May 31, 2018 Not really. More to do with being gotten a team better than other expansion teams because they wanted it to succeed. They still did well with how they drafted...but were given a ton of advantages. Everyone said the players they picked where scrubs. Nobody predicted this.

DankNuggs 305 Posted May 31, 2018 I like hockey, but it is an embarrassment to the league if they win their first year out. It already kind of is. I disagree, it makes a strong statement as to what you need to win. When the Bs won the cup all the talk was on Thomas and the stars, but their 3rd and 4th line play was amongst the best in the NHL and I think that was the diffference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 816 Posted May 31, 2018 I still can't believe that Holtby stopped that puck... I threw my hat in disgust before realizing he actually saved it. Absolutely incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted May 31, 2018 I threw my hat in disgust before realizing he actually saved it. Absolutely incredible. I had no idea that he stopped it... I thought when the Knights reacted they way they did, that he just put it over the crossbar or something... But after seeing that bounce I told my wife, "this isn't good"... I don't understand why Holtby didn't fall on the puck when it came back through the crease after hitting the wall... I mean I guess one never thinks something like that would happen, but in a 3-2 game with a couple of minutes left, I would think falling on the puck to get a face-off would have crossed his mind...
