What a ridiculous franchise.

Good team though.

Why? Cause they are trying to build a fan base to last? Its the flavor of their town for whatever its worth. Their fans have been waiting a long time for major league sports. They supported their minor league teams for years and have brought their passion to the NFL and NHL.

What would you have them be? Arizona and Florida?

indeed. god damn I hated their pre-game poop
- Pat1993

Me too... It was just so over the top. I hate the announcer.

Good for them if they have fun. And you can't deny their success.

I'm not a fan of all that "over the top nonsense" at every little thing that happens.

Best moment of that overtime goal?

Gally making a beeline for the puck. It's easy to join the hug party, Gallagher was thinking of the team, and a player, who despite scoring possibly the biggest goal of the career, will likely have a career that will be fondly remembered, but not celebrated, per se.

Also, props to Richardson who called for everyone to celebrate responsibly and safely.

yeah like I was saying before the game I hope there won't be a bunch of douchebags taking "advantage" of the situation and start bashing stuff downtown MTL...

yeah for that particular kind of market I guess they're doing things right, it just looks ridiculous for more traditional hockey cities

Agreed.

As always, it won't be actual fans that causes trouble if it happens.

The store owners have had enough troubles in the last year without getting stuff broken/stolen by idiots.

Its a town built on gambling and entertainment. Above all else, sports are entertainment and nothing wrong with using it to keep fans coming back

seriously... for once if everyone shows some decency I'll be pleasantly surprised

Hey, Tampa or NY? Fear the Bergevin red suit. It's coming for you...

Nothing wrong with it.

I, personally, find it ridiculous.

they could have avoided some peculiar bullpoop though with their little "knights of the NHL" story before every game. that was dumb AF no matter what market you're in lol

gotta find some way to make it a traditional market, tho. have to build a fan base for that to happen. i have family that live in vegas and the fans are really passionate about the sport.

surpriningly I haven't seen any Joker/Bergevin memes, they're probably out there though

that's what I'm saying, I'm not against it, they can do what they want, but when I see this I can't help but think "this is dumb". it's cool if they're passionate and everything.

Right before the final goal by Lekhonen, Gally barely avoided getting hit on the hand again by Martinez slapshot

I'm not jinxing nothin'. I'm gonna sit back, and enjoy the ride. We made further this year than we have in years past. The future looks bright, we're not depending on all veterans.
If we don't close it out? That's ok. The young guns have the taste, they're gonna want more, and they're all talented enough to bring it home... If not this year, then SOON.

- Pat1993

I love you, man. That's awesome. Stealing that...
