How 'bout them Knights? I live in Vegas and it's been a fun year with our first Pro team not only having a successful first season, but having a 13-3 playoff record going into the Stanley Cup Finals! I've embraced the Knights as my 1B to the Wild's 1A, but there is no question which team was more enjoyable to watch. If there is one downside to all this winning it's watching Huala and Tuch both playing such key roles, roles which the Wild would have benefited from immensely!

I know there is no real comparison between this Knights team and past expansion teams due to how the expansion draft was set up this time. Even so nobody in their right minds expected them to make the playoffs, much less win their division and their conference!

Sure would be nice if the Wolves or Wild ever give us such an enjoyable season!

It's been quite the run I'm glad you have been able to enjoy it. Russo pointed out there are a few teams that have to be looking at that team and players they let go and thinking they let go of some good players. It's going to be interesting to see how all these pro teams coming to Vegas pans out.
