I know people who hate Vegas because the nhl gave them a great team (yeah yeah). Well the refs robbed them tonight.  That was an awful call.  

Not really. I mean the game went to OT. Vegas choked regardless.

What!? Lol Sharks scores 4 goals on a 5 minute pp they didn’t deserve.

vegas lost. But that game was over until that bad call. 

No it wasn't. The Jets scored 2 goals in a minute in game 6. Leafs a few years ago lost when winning by 2 or 3 with a couple minutes to go. The game wasn't over. Vegas also had a 3 1 series lead and failed. Bottom line... The game was tied going to OT.. Sharks won. Knights and their entitled fanbase lost.

I found the following statistics interesting ...

In the 25 years before Gary Bettman became full time commissioner of the NHL Canadian teams won the cup at a clip of 60% (15/25).

In the 25 years after Gary Bettman became full time commissioner of the NHL Canadian teams won the cup at a clip of 0% (0/25).

It started with the Rangers who bought all the ex-Oilers and for the next 10 there was no salary cap so Canuck teams had no chance and then when they did bring in one it took another 5 to even things up.

As for the last 10 years...well the odds are even but they outnumber us 4-1.

But we're Canadians so we'll pay more for tickets and beer and TV rights and say its our game.

I don't care how far the Blue Jackets go, unless they win the Stanley Cup, I consider what Kekäläinen did to be too reckless. That team is going to be baddddd for a long time after this year. No one is going to stick around. Maybe they overpay for Duchene and keep him but that's no prize.
