Why I like the Vegas Golden Knights and you should too

[PistolPete]

They want to win.

They are fully invested and committed to winning.

They are the organizational equivalent to a Toews, a Gretzky, a Messier....win, win, win.

Cassidy situation? They ain't going to help their closest enemies to get better.

Screw 'em. Get better all by yourselves is their approach.

Three finals appearances and one Cup already in only 9 seasons. Who wouldn't love this kind of success for their team?

No. To hell with the trust fund babies.

and yes, you guessed correct, I didn't even read the post, I just read the thread title and reacted

They want to win.

32 teams want to win. Trust me on this one.

 

[PizzaTime]

I somewhat respect them, but like? No way

Blasphemy cannot be condoned. Build the pyre.

They were handed a generational expansion draft, thats all.

The quality of players they were given compared to Seattle is night and day

I've actually been told that no, not all 32 teams want to win. Some actually enter a season to lose on purpose.

This was told to me very forcefully, like the person had first hand knowledge.

Viqsi! You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the illiterate! Not join them! Bring balance to the boards, not leave them in darkness!

If OP is a fan of the Knights and therefore their players, they may not know what this word means.

Don’t get us wrong. A lot of us are fully aware the Vegas knights a very good team. Most of us chose them to come out of the west. If fans hate your team it means you’re in a very good place.

Apparently not. It's about giving your best. Trying your hardest. The friends you made along the way.

This I was told.

This last season, they had the most likable collection of redemption and vindication stories of any team in the playoffs. It would have been karmic if they had won.

Otherwise, I could take them or leave them.
