Reaves is a garbage human being.

Hes bitching about that? Fuck that guy.

If Kadri did what Reaves just did, he would be facing a firing squad by dawn.

Kiril!!!

Kaprizov is ridiculous. Holy hell.

 

[wings-pens2166]

[mr.hockey4242]

Just knew he would score first game back..

 

[wings-pens2166]

Sadly you need LMAFO to show up in the third. Unfortunately he usually thrives in these crunch time situations.

 

[naslundfan19]

That should do it.

Please sweep these fuckers Colorado.

I honestly don’t think I’d watch.

Vegas in 7.

Vegas in six

Vegas in 5

As a Sharks fan, Let's go Minnesota!

But as a realistic hockey fan, Vegas in 5.

Feels like Vegas has had more success in 4 years than the Canucks have had since 1994... Oh wait .. it's because they have

What is sad that is no fault of the Canucks it is 100% Bettman handing the Knights a "Golden" team at expansion. He wanted Vegas to be a hotbed and he got it.

I disagree my friend, I have no problem with the Knights success thus far as they paid a huge sum to join the league and made some shrewd decisions that contributed to having a fine team in short order. What I do have a problem with is them being exempt from the Seattle expansion draft, they've been in the league for multiple years now, they're no longer a special case.

A lot of those early shrewed moves were made due to the expansion draft rules which really stuck it to the other teams. It really gave them an opportunity to stockpile plenty of draft capital.
As for this expansion draft yeah, it is total BS. They shouldn't be exempt and overall the "pool" of unprotected players will be a lot worse for the Kraken.
