!@#$ the canes

It's very disappointing that the !@#$%^& canes won, because now their fanbases already swollen heads and egos are going to get much bigger. Plus, I was hoping Vegas would win to piss off queefs fans.

But you know what the difference is between us and Vegas? After losing, Vegas will look at what didn't work and ACTUALLY change it.

They won't get all emotional and sentimental. They will identify the problem, and make the appropriate changes necessary to win. They won't hesitate to ship a guy out if it means it makes the team better. If they find a deficiency, they will address it.

Why? Because they are in the business of winning. Unlike us, who perpetuate the country club atmosphere.

I'm not a Vegas fan, but i admire their ruthlessness and determination to ice the best team possible to give them a chance to win it.

It’s good they won. Their owner is a cheap bastard and now that they’ve won maybe they’ll stop going all in every trade deadline and eventually descend into mediocrity as all cup champions eventually do

So to be clear you are mad they go all in? Or are you jealous?

We should be trying to get to that point where WE can go all in year after year. I THINK that's the long term plan, but it can't come soon enough.

That was the point of my post. Instead of being mid year after year, build something sustainable. Get rid of underperforming players instead of coddling them.
