I really hope not, the whole Vegas thing is ruining the great story of their success.

Drop the puck and play.  [/quote]

PP here.  I thought I would be so disgusted with the pregame revelry that I would turn it off, but I had to keep watching.  I know people who grew up constructing their own skating/hockey rinks by hand every winter, equipped with overhead lighting for evening, and skated in their backyard from December to March.  The same people who also grew up with easy access to multiple frozen ponds for the same use. They take their hockey seriously, it is literally part of their culture, they are not bandwagon or "in your face"; they are fans of the "Original Six" NHL teams from the 1920's (NOT 1974). But they loved that Vegas embraced who they are, and did well by it.  They are a great team. Real sports fans do not criticize other people's teams, they embrace their own team (and this is the important part)..... win or lose.  They also do not gloat or claim to be a "rain or shine" fan, when it is clearly not the case.   It is what it is.  That venue was about 100% Vegas fans last night.[/quote]

My nephew in New Haven makes a backyard rink every winter—esp. with the winters they’ve been having. I was at his hockey tournament last weekend.

They are serious up there.

He’s routing for Vegas.  Little shit.  My family was Caps season ticket holders in the 1970s.  I remember falling asleep in the back of the station wagon on the way home from Landover.  And my brother and his friends playing street hockey—full gear, face masks, pads in the cul-de-sac.

Go Caps!![/quote]
