Fair enough on the Habs chant...that's always salt in the wound in your own barn.

10 years was spit-balling for sure...Hell, five is apropos given the parity of the league these days.

It can't be denied that the team's immediate success doesn't bring about some spoiling of the fans...

I may just be cranky because I'll be there July 5-7 for some R&R, & as a Sharks fan I don't want to see the evil empire's logo every where I go!



I do love that bitter fyuckin rivalry though. They've def supplanted LA as SJ's PE #1.

I just can't stand the narrative about fans not having suffered enough thing or the franchise hasn't "cut its teeth" as if there's some sort of stupid unwritten rule book about the right trajectory for a team to achieve some measure of success.

If that mattered we should just hand the cup to the Sabres next year


I'm in the minority of VGK fans here for sure but seeing SJ slowly implode is a tiny bit disappointing. For a 2 year period there, this rivalry was the hottest in the league. Hopefully we can get it back to that at some point. It's built over time and more playoffs meeting, which I'm sure we'll end up seeing.

In the meantime (frank) Kane, Burns and that entire team

This is such an incredibly stupid thing to say

They were given nothing. Revisionist history to the max from you and every other fan out there who whines about Vegas being handed a "contender". Almost everybody who's an NHL fan/"expert" was basically laughing at this team when they were done with the expansion draft. I was on here reading all the comments, as well as on other websites. I would say 90% of people thought they would be the worst team in the league or at least in the bottom 4. The consensus was for them to even be competitive let alone make the playoffs was that they were gonna need MAF to stand on his head for the entire season which he basically did. But of course since things haven't gone that way everyone is bitter about this team and how they were "handed" a contender, when they damn well know they didn't think they had a shot of being any good.
