I have to say, I'm pulling for you guys. Exciting to see major pro sports in Las Vegas, but to also have a team that might win the Stanley Cup in its expansion year is very awesome. The closest experiences to this I've seen is the Arizona Diamondbacks winning the 2001 World Series, and the Jacksonville Jaguars and Carolina Panthers playing in the AFC and NFC Championship games respectively in only their second year.Knights are now up 2-1 over the Jets. Safe bet that if they win on Friday, we're going to the Stanley Cup finals.
Last night's game was insane. Incredibly intense play from both sides. Fluery was oustanding and performing miracles on the ice during the third quarter. Frankly, I'm amazed we won.

Congrats Vegas! To the Stanley Cup Final in inaugural season!
Man, fuck Vegas. They eliminated my only hope for a Canadian team winning the cup again. The only team I care about that’s left are the Caps, and they’re on the verge of elimination too.
Call me cautiously optimistic.

People here are losing their minds with either excitement or complete disbelief. In a way it's almost too much for our minds to process. Our first ever pro sports team, in it's first year, is going to the Stanley Cup. Just....fucking wow.
By the way, odds were 200-1 that they'd make the Finals and 500-1 that they'd win the Cup. If we take it all the way, sports betters are about to lose a lot of money. I've talked to several people who made $20 or $50 joke bets just so they could say they have a betting ticket for the first season. You can do the math from there.
Also, interesting fact, the two other previous expansion teams in the NHL to go to the finals in their first year were in 1918 and 1968. It's like it's some weird fate that every 50 years it happens.
No Igoudala tonight. If the Rockets are going to have a chance, they HAVE to win this game.
Or they could win the last 3 games of the series and advance.
Counting to seven is hard.
Patiently waiting on the Caps chokejob tonight. This is the kind of game the franchise has consistently lost for 40 years.
You can't win a 7 game series by being up 3-1 genius
2016 Finals etc
If the Rockets lose tonight, they fold up. Guaranteed.
