I believe the legend is that his parents paid for his flight to go play in Europe. You always hear the saying "he had the dawg in him". Nobody did more than Tim Thomas.

That’s so cool, I’d love to get the chance to meet him someday too, such an awesome guy

@@DropthePuckHockey yeah I already did but I would love to skate and shoot with him and score against him

He was an absolute beast

I think if they get in they have a chance to upset the rangers or Boston. Who’s your favorite player tho??

@@DropthePuckHockey Crosby, ever since 2010. I lost my mind when we he scored the golden goal

@@matt11120 nice he’s one of the best to ever do it

Insure. Lol

Not exactly. They were expected by everyone to be terrible in their first season. Even their owner and management! Nobody could’ve predicted what season they'd have in 2017-18.

@@ResoluteMujigae I’d go 50/50 on that. Some said they would be highly competitive right out the gates including myself. As a fan of a team that was terrible and trying to put it together, I watched up and coming players closely, players that we’re on the cusp of being excellent but on terminating contracts, being paid league minimums, etc. I also watched as Vegas got gifted all of these young talented players and handed tons of picks and prospects. In an instant, Vegas was put in a situation that was far better than my team and in far better shape than 90% of the league. Maybe the roster was cup contending at the time, but everyone new they would be competitive and more importantly, they were gifted a position of incredible strength. Haula, Bellemare, Theodore, Karlson, Perron, Neal, Marchesault, Carrier, nosek, thorburn, Riley smith, white cloud, Martinez, Tuch, Stephenson, to name few. Not to mention the had 10 additional picks in the next draft including 3 first rounders. Not on this list were so many prospect type players that could be used as trade bait but could also play. Sbisa, Methot, Engalland, McNabb, Hague. On top of that they got two legit goaltenders Berube, and Fucking Fleury. To say this isn’t gifted a position of incredible strength is just lying to yourself.

Thank you. Don't forget that when Seattle had their expansion draft, Vegas was exempt from making players available. Can anyone explain that? Blatant favoritism, plain and simple. They're Bettman's sweethearts.

He was insane that year

They’re both good players, but Malkin is objectively better than both of them

That would be so cool to have college teams in chel

HBO Max regional locked games is b.s. for nhl games. More coverage 4 sure. All hockey

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

They definitely have the team to do it, I’d love to see pavs get one too

Love to hear it and that’s a good point, all the players had such great respect for him

He’s so good

Are the other 16 teams doing the same thing cheaters?

I agree

@DropthePuckHockey there's no way he can foul this up ha.. He said it in the pre draft interview that he knew he was the one. Always won but overlooked. With Gorton and Hughes they're uncovering every rock unlike in the past. Very happy.
