Sheng Peng: 8 Minutes Which Silenced the Loudest Fans in Hockey The expansion Golden Knights are going to the Stanley Cup Final.

Thanks, Sheng Peng. Awesome work.

Go Knights.

(frank) these haters.

Congrats Knights. Hoping for a Caps/Knights final. Not really interested in Lightning/Knights for some reason. Think Vegas will counterpunch the sht out of Tampa.

Oh and even if the Knighs don't win the final, Fleury for MVP right?!

Thanks, Sheng Peng. Awesome work.

Go Knights.

Lots oh hate all around. I think the biggest thing this team has highlighted though is the number of terrible GMs and coaches out there. This team is very well coached, and after the high talent players they were able to grab they built a great supporting cast. We would all hope that this would cause a shift in the mediocrity of many front offices and benches but its not likely.

Vegas for the cup!

I love it! Great blog! Congrats Knights!

Tinfoil sales have utterly exploded

Love Vegas and how hard they have worked to get here. I think the hardest fight was going to be the Jets, not sure Washington could avoid being shut down, and don't know if Tampa can find a way to get it done against Flower.

Go Knights!

Meh, he does use quite a few quotes in his work though don't you think?.

What a ratings nightmare , Tampa vs LV...
LV in finals is a disgrace to NHL... bunch of crappy players.
Bettman flipping out, instead of Crosby, McDavid, Matthews, they are
talking about Reilly Smith, Reaves, etc.

Congrats to the Knights !

Hate to tell you but the NHL is a business. Ratings mean sponsorship. Hockey is not popular to begin with.. A tampa LV final will hit rock bottom...Lets be real...

NBC Sports, which carries the NHL in the U.S., said the first two games of the series between the Golden Knights and Jets had a total average audience delivery of 1.841 million viewers -- its most-watched Western Conference final not involving the Chicago Blackhawks.

But this year’s unlikely matchup is the most-watched Western Conference final since 2015, which drew an average of 1.847 million viewers -- and, perhaps more impressive, is doing 70 percent better than Nashville-Anaheim last year. Vegas took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series Wednesday with a 4-2 victory over the Jets in Las Vegas. Game 4 is Friday.

Also TBL had their best TV ratings in franchise history...

Quit bringing facts to the discussion

Bettman is the 1 who changed the rules in the expansion draft so Vegas could get better talent from the other teams & Kudos to George McVie(GM) for the drafting job he did. They had Tomas Tatar scratched in games & Reeves gets the game winner,Speed kills & Vegas has that, If I was George I would hit a casino right now.

Congrats Knights! I didn’t have Vegas going far in my bracket. Certainly talented, they had a really good regular season, but I just assumed come playoffs, they’d get bounced. Now, they are scary good and getting stronger each series. I wasn’t a hater, not at all...just not a believer. But that mindset has changed. If Fleury stays as hot, they got this.

I just hope the distance between the end of TB/WAS series and the start of the final round is just a few days!

This ain't basketball, hockey is the ultimate team sport. Plus, the Knights have Marc-Andre Fleury. He's become as big a star as anybody. Go Vegas!

Thanks, Sheng Peng. Awesome work.

Go Knights.

Great post.
Also (frank) the bandwagon jumpers and wannabe fans who are clearly fans of poopty teams like the Coilers and not true Vegas Golden Nuggets fans.
