Ovechkin finally get's what he deserves! What a run for the Caps. After YEARS of frustration and 2nd round losses, they finally win the whole thing!

Also big props to the Golden Knights. What a crazy first year! Don't think we may ever see anything like this for a long time.

Happy to see Alexander Ovechkin finally get his. Dude's career was starting to get Ray Bourquey.

Ovechkin wins the Conn Smythe, no surprise there.  Hell of a post-season.

Why are Knights fans booing Bettman? They wouldn't even have a team if not for that guy's hard-on for Sun Belt markets.

[OnWis97]

Have Vegas fans really put in the time to boo Bettman like that?

[MDGP]

Vegas fans booed Bettman! You've officially earned your place in the club, Knights fans!

 

It only gets more miserable from here. Welcome aboard!

Way to go Caps......Today we are all Crabcake.

When I saw someone call out a congrats to Ovechkin for winning, I was trying to figure out a way to post that (whether suggesting it was him accessing secret information to defeat the Knights or something).  You gave me the perfect opportunity.

 

It's a classic, although "Betrayal" will always be my favorite.

I think we can pretty much confirm the turning point of this series.

 

THAT save, game 2.

They booed him at some event before the team had played a game. Might have been for the name reveal.

Better be careful Knights fans, Bettman might relocate your team to some place like Phoenix or something.

Regardless how you feel about Las Vegas (I think admiral referred to the city as "the genital wart of america")

I like Vegas as a place to go with my buddies. I don’t feel any ill will towards the city itself. 

I just hate this team and the way they were gifted a contender right off the bat.

since the name reveal fiasco, the franchise, the players, have been nothing but class...a

I don’t consider those pregame Medieval Times shows to be “class” at all.

So far, the team has been a huge success. 

We’ll see what happens in the long haul. They won’t be going to the Final every year.

If you're expecting a train wreck if the Caps win, I think you'll be disappointed.

I didn’t get garbage on the ice like I got last year in Nashville, but I did see this OITGDNHL Moment of a franchise lose in five. I’ll take it. 

 

Anyway enough about Vegas. 

@Crabcake47 and every other Caps fan? Congrats!  

[Silent Wind of Doom]

Don't forget that the announcers have been saying the crowd was more than a third Caps fans, and who knows the amount of Vegas fans that stuck around and were not previously fans of other teams before getting one.

I thought Kuznetsov was going to win the Conn Smythe.

Even though I agree with Smith-Pelly, I don't wanna see this thread devolve into a political fight.
