Is it still just you and your cat cuddled up at night?Congratulate them for what?
Being the best of the losers. :LMAO
And a good call by you, Bushay, predicting Las Vegas residents would embrace the team.
Hopefully they embrace the Raiders.....never thought I would see the day that Vegas would get a professional franchise..
Good for Sin City.....can the NBA or MLB be far behind?
Based on what?It was a tremendous run...don't see Vegas vying for the Cup again for a very long time.....
Their prospects will only get stronger and stronger. They have money to burn under the cap. They have more quality draft picks in the upcoming years than any team in the league. This will not be a hockey hotbed team with meadia coverage like the Canadian teams or the original 6, but guys no doubt will want to play here. Their GM has proven he knows how to build a team, and owner that will spare noting to put a winner on the ice and fill the seats.
I think this this comment is way off Heim.
Las Vegas is a basketball town.
Seems like a natural.
A retractable roof is needed for Major League Baseball.
The blue hair season ticket holders will not embrace NBA.

how many years before sweet lou gets the islanders back in the mix ?

I hear rumors that they just traded a number 1 pick for Grubauer.Yep not sure JT is as big a priority as most people think. He has 10 years in the league now and Lou has a history of taking over a team breaking it down and building it back up correctly
not in la, i know zero wasps that have lakers season tix, usc football is there team of choiceThey do in every other city.
James Neal stated he knows of many players that would love to play for the VGK's.
With an excellent GM, excellent home ice, good percentage of roster returning, and a good amount of young talent in the lower ranks it makes for an optimistic future ahead for the VGK
First ever draft pick Cody Glass will probably start the season with the big club next season.
Fish - Give us a points total O/U on the VGK for next season...
It will almost certainly be in the 88-93 or so range. They can attract free agents or people like Erik Karlsson who has 1 year left on his deal and there is a 0% chance he re-signs with the Senators after next season. But like the Seahawks who were paying Russell Wilson next to nothing allowing them to pay the defense a lot, players will now need more money to come back and that means less for others and other top players. Vegas is now no longer the HUNTER but the HUNTED and that makes a massive difference. Reality is gonna bite them hard next season. They might still make the playoffs but to expect the same or better next season as this one is unrealistic[/QUOTE]
NO SHIT SHERLOCK, THEY MADE THE FINALS

Fair point but if they fail to win a series next season it won't shock me.
