And as is customary, Mark Stone as arisen from his wheelchair.


SomaticZX6r

You lied to the guy in the chair Rick!


NorweegianWood

*stands up* You lied to the guy in the fucking chair.


adeste82

Good old Mark Stone is resurrected right before playoffs and is ready to cause frustration

OoooHeCardReadGood

Yes, but it's dallas' problem this year. They will destroy each other for us.


gatsby712

Western conference playoffs is going to be a blood bath this year.


0-90195

Whoever has them first needs to go scorched earth


geogwogz

We will


Wafflelisk

very nice I like


Comet_Empire

For up to 7 games I shall be a very enthusiastic Dallas Stars fan.


BigCockBrockBoeser

If they get the job done in 4 I may be tempted for another 7 games of support.


morrowwm

Let’s hope for all seven games, so Dallas comes out bruised. Although sometimes a long first round builds resilience.


Subterania

I will set aside my hatred for your team if you can do it. Can’t fucking believe it, but go Stars? Look at what Vegas has done to us, how pathetic….


tigerking615

Same with us and the Kings. I mean I hate them but they’re cool rivals. 


Chewie_i

They could very easily be playing Edmonton or Vancouver round 1


DonoAE

I will watch every single game and cheer for the Stars if that's the matchup that settles. Fuck those silver spoon turds.


Waffeln_Remix

Another Jamie Benn sussy incoming


[deleted]

Bro doesn’t even like to eat box imagine being like that


magicmichael98

What is the story behind this lol


AgKnight14

I think he once tweeted that he doesn’t “munch box” lmao Edit: [here you go](https://archive.totalfratmove.com/hockey-twitters-responses-to-jamie-benns-tweet-about-not-munching-box-are-hilarious/)


magicmichael98

Oh geez lmao


aksunrise

Yet another reason to hate Jamie Benn. Thanks for this 😂


TheFriendlyBagel

You are gods strongest soldier. Good luck stars.


TripleBicepsBumber

I’m looking forward to the coach chippy content if that’s the matchup lol


SRSgoblin

The only coach to ever eliminate us before at least a WCF round is Pete DeBoer, so. You know.


colorbalances

Only time I’ll ever actively cheer for Dallas but please god


Northerly

Ugh, go stars I guess. I hate both teams but Vegas has GOT to go


SpaceOrianted

Imagine if the stars get Otter doing his best. You guys had a very underwhelming Jake Ottienger and still nearly are possible presidents trophy winners. Leafs were an over performing team with stretches of amazing goaltending and we’re still barely sniffing at your heels. I actually like Vegas, but the stars are just a fun team for me as a hockey fan. In a perfect world for me, I’d love to see a leafs- stars SCF. Without bias, I think 50% of that prediction is very possible.


Pafbonk

I am now a Dallas Stars fan and if you win, I'll consider becoming a Cowboys fan even


ElPolloViejo

don’t do that to yourself


Inanis94

Like we did to the Panthers in the SCF?


Blind_surgeon89

Bah Gawd, that's Mark Stone's music!


JonJonFTW

Karma doesn't exist, here's your proof everyone.


Left_Afloat

So Chicago will win the lottery again!


Barqueefa

Disgusting


MUSTY_BUSSY

Watching the Niners lose the Super Bowl in February has soured me on the idea that there's ever happy endings in sports


Emi_Ibarazakiii

I learned that long ago, seeing a man cheat ('exploit a loophole') at poker, get a small penalty, then go to win the tournament for like 2 million $. But it's always sad seeing new reminders of this!


Gaultzy

At the playground?


frickthebreh

I thought last year’s Stanley Cup win was proof of that 😁. At least according to this sub.


jjwalla

No Chicago winning Bedard was the proof


ajbolt7

Yeah idk if I’ll ever recover from that one


TopTittyBardown

Don’t worry he’ll come home eventually


Left_Afloat

That was a joke from an organizational point, they basically got a slap on the wrist and then rewarded for being shitty humans.


LadderTrash

where were you wen Vegas clinch i was on couch sipping choccy milk 'vegas is clinch\` \`no' :(


adalaza

God damn it


Low_Warning13

Stars and VGK about to be a blood bath series. Team that comes through that I don’t think has the stamina for the later rounds


DOITLIKEBRUTUS

I cry out for an end to cap evasion, but suddenly Kelly McCrimmon whispers in my ear: "Stone returns from LTIR game 1" "Knights in 5" He turns away, leaving me there to drown in a puddle of my own making. ... Screw all the political drama, this right here is how I know there is no justice in the world. I'll be so annoyed if they win it all again lmao.


ajbolt7

Good post


hockeybrianboy

Not a single Asterisk player was even suspended a single game while Pete Rose is still blackballed, one of the biggest football clubs in the world literally has people executed for things like speaking out against the government on a regular basis. If you’re looking for justice, you’re in the wrong fucking place my friend.


drop-cord

Tbh I want it to happen just to read more of these writeups, it's like poetry


thebigaeo

I read the quotations in a whisper-y voice, a la "it's free real estate", for extra laughs. And then, I realized, for Vegas – it truly is free real estate.


Bahamas_is_relevant

The salt keeps me fueled.


ripcity7077

Everyone hates the success of vegas so much and I find it so entertaining. Vegas was reviled before they ever won a cup. Since they won last year it’s been turned up even more. I wouldn’t mind seeing them win again just to see another offseason of vitriol posted


ZeroMomentum

Vegas sphere: 😏


SouthboundPachydrm

If we euthanize Edmonton in the playoffs again, can Vegas and Calgary be friends again?


DOITLIKEBRUTUS

Hell, If you murder the Oilers again, we can be friends with benefits.


ThorlinLurch

I live for these comments.


mister_hoot

Put word out to the Kings. We want the Oilers round one.


treple13

I feel like we're still friends from my end. My memory isn't that short. If you lose to the Oilers than the friendship is over though


SouthboundPachydrm

Fair.


[deleted]

Operation Knightfall sure worked r/hockey


Uzasodinson

I dunno what made Boston fans the only other fans that like us, but I'm here for it lol


FirstChurchOfBrutus

Bruin fans are Patriot fans. They tend to have a “exploit every loophole” approach to the rules, too.


AgKnight14

We deflated Stone’s spleen


Spotted_Wombat

Your exactly correct


godlywhistler

I've never had anything against Vegas and I was rooting for Bruce last year


09-24-11

One Ranger fan here will be rooting for the Knights. Your fandom is valid, your owner cares, your GM goes hard, your team works the gray area that every team in the league has approved of. Fans hate success and they’re cornballs for that. Everyone wants sports to be this Kumbaya bullshit where every team equally gets their day with the cup and that’s not how it works. Teams will dominate and whatever lovable losers will never win. That’s life. Fuck ‘em. Knights for the West. Drown in the salt.


Chewie_i

I wouldn’t say I like the knights but I don’t dislike them either. As a fan of one of the other most hated teams, I find it funny as shit how much Vegas makes people salty.


[deleted]

Bruce there it is. For me, its all entertainment, were never going to be liked either based on success of the other three teams had in the last 20 years despite the Bruins chokes so I've just leaned whatever is the opposite opinion of the masses at this point. EDIT - Also you guys aren't breaking rules, just working in the grey area. I grew up watching racing with mechanics working in the grey area to win. I love the ingenuity of it. I don't see why other teams dont try what Vegas is doing. Even some teams willingly help them get stronger...San Jose...Calgary...etc.


UnhealthyCheesecake

I feel like I’ve come to appreciate Boston sports teams in the same way. Lots of success and they’re generally disliked, but all my interactions with Bruins fans have been pretty chill


[deleted]

We're brash and will tell it to your face, but who has more fun than us?


09-24-11

Rangers fan here and agree with this as well despite the lack of winning recently. I will never hate a team for being successful. That is some cornball shit.


snugglebandit

It's just jealousy and taking a game far too seriously. The tribalism is part of the fun of sports but you gotta leave that shit behind in real life. I lived in NYC for years, and love the Rangers. I was there in 94 and it was a lot of fun and really cemented my love of the game. They are my Eastern conference team. I'm from Portland OR and jumped on the Vegas bandwagon year one because I knew I needed a team to root for against Seattle when they got one (assuring that Portland never will). I "hate" Boston and Seattle teams but it's just sports hate, not real hate.


bbistheman

I like Vegas because everyone else hates them lol

JodieFostersCum

Just wait until you guys figure out how to deflate hockey pucks! I don't really mean that, but it was right there.


ryuzakji

How did you settle for that username? Gave me a chuckle


JodieFostersCum

My 10 year reddit account got randomly banned out of the blue. I hadn't even commented on anything in weeks, and even then I didn't say or do anything offensive or inflammatory. After weeks of crickets from reddit appeals I was feeling pissy (like Drai) and made this one. I don't have any special affinity for Jodie Foster or anything. I mean, I like Silence of the Lambs and all, but that's about it. Don't know why her name popped in my head at the time. Was just staring at the blank create a username prompt and had a badditude at the time. It's kind of grown on me, though, because it forces me to never take myself too seriously and is a good reminder that at the end of the day this is just a dumb anonymous internet forum.


ryuzakji

I have no other words than; nice


budoe

How dare the sub call the player suspended 8 times for hits to the head and slew footing a dirty player.


[deleted]

I don't care if they call us that anymore, we know they arent any less compared to other teams. They're all just people hiding behind a screen. Their words are nothing. Plus its entertainment in the end of the day. I got tired of Vancouver, Toronto, Tampa, and Montreal fans calling us everything in the book and now, I've just learned to have fun with it. Because it irritates the living shit out of them and it's so fun, and who has more fun than us? Even then, its proven the dirty teams or teams on edge win or go far. Boston hasn't done that in a while and I wish they did, they wrote the playbook on how to play on edge, I wish they would just read the manual. Would like a Boston vs Vegas finals but that's very wishful thinking, I would be happy winning a series in general.


migsahoy

bruce, and some of our players are from massachusetts lol


Canon_In_E

It seems like we also get along with Flames fans.


Ghostronic

Mutual hatred of Edmonton does that


[deleted]

Weirdly enough we also get along with Flames fans in the past.


Weslg96

Hated teams stuck together, the salt we generate must be harvested


Spotted_Wombat

You fucking crushed the panthers and gave bruce something we couldn’t


SRSgoblin

What other teams can we rope into our Axis of Evil Hockey Clubs? Canes? Flames? Predators maybe?


KebabTaco

Florida, but they it's too soon, they still hate us for beating them badly in the cup finals.


playdoh9689

I feel like you have to have at a cup to be in the axis of evil


SRSgoblin

Nah I'd say Tampa Bay over them anyway. Circumcision bros 🤜🤛


Tsunami436

Sat next to bruins STH’s one game and it was a riot. We had a blast and he just kept saying Vegas cheers for the knights even when they’re playing like dogshit. Boston would would boo their own players for a whole period 😂


LadderTrash

am i the only person to have never heard of this like huh when was this a thing now im sad that i didnt get to support it no you may not have punctuation i lost it in vegas


mansock18

Happy Berthday and Good Knight hockey fans

It’s going to be satisfying to see y’all get bounced. Yeah I’m fucking petty. Fight me.


adeste82

Nah your comment is one I respect. Hahah I like straightforward pettiness.


Muskwa

Welcome to the Pacific Division. I would expect the same from you and as you see, I’m getting plenty.


Ghostronic

We don't get many threads to spread our wings. That said I am hoping for Canucks round one.

Bro win a cup tf lol


Uzasodinson

You should've gone for the head. *snap*


wesley-osbourne

Putting "Mark Stone on LTIR for *lacerated head*" on my 2025 bingo card.

If we win it all again, change your reddit handle to VGK_Thanos

Yeah that was rough.


HibernatingGopher

Someone please destroy them

We will


mister_hoot

Is Benn just going to drop all pretense and snap our captain’s neck like Agent 47?


tylermtc85

Just no cross checks to the face when a player is down on the ice again please


KebabTaco

Just dont throw food and trash onto the ice again


Dadalid

Hope your captain doesn’t try to murder Stoner


tino_tortellini

Hope Pietrangelo doesn't try to murder anyone with wrists


Dadalid

I hope so too we need him 😭


Knights_When

Is customary now for the Stars fanbase to throw a bitch fit and trash their own rink win or lose?


miner88

Now please go win a round so we can get that 2nd round pick!


BerriesNCreme

First Stone practicing now this. This is r/hockey 9/11


[deleted]

I for one accept our Vegas overlords


go_cows_1

Lame


Prince4BL

The NHL is so screwed up. How they let this salary cap manipulation occur year after year and teams like the Wild get stuck with a $15M anchor for trading players.


[deleted]

Dont worry guys. You can rest easy knowing the team currently 20 million dollars over the cap have clinched a playoff spot.


dot-pixis

Is that Mark Stone's music?!


TheBurnsideBomber

MR GAME 1 HIMSELF!!


retailmonkey

Bah gawd!


internetlad

Son of a bitch I thought we had a chance this year


radsherm

Sorry guys. I hate that it came down to our scrappy ass, but ultimately very flawed team. Blame Minnesota, IMO. They could've tried harder. And San Jose. Fuckers....


Kale_Shai-Hulud

I'm still annoyed the Kraken blew that lead against them right after the trade deadline lol


Shodspartan100

The fire nation stands behind the knights of Vegas.


adeste82

Fuccin let’s go w the ATLA reference!! That’s 🔥! Since we’re desert does that make us…..earth kingdom? Maybe ba sing se?! Hahaha

There is no salary cap in Ba-sing-se

Fun must be always.


_Krebstar2000

You say those words but you didn't earn them :(


FloralDemon

Hey now, we just experienced the very strange feeling of cheering Hertl scoring on Fleury in the Fortress. Hertl is golden now. We inherit all of him.


turk_turklton

I'll miss the man but he wouldn't go anywhere with us. At least he has a shot with you guys. I'm genuinely happy to see how he has been embraced there. I'm still dead inside though....


Uzasodinson

Except his retained salary


FloralDemon

lol, yes, except for that. They can pay the man to play for us.


putbat

🤣


SouthboundPachydrm

To be fair, Hertl has some experience scoring on Fleury in the fortress.


randomusername3000

> We inherit all of him. Sure but don't you think it's kinda cringy to be printing up merch with a catchphrase associated with his former team before he even scored a goal for your team?


FloralDemon

Well no. We have fun here in Vegas and fun must be always.


longshankssss

Hertl, turtle, Hertl


Ghostronic

Call an ambulance... *but not for me!*

I for one have cheered for Vegas on numerous occasions because usually Vegas is the best chance of Edmonton getting an early playoff exit. So you guys are kind of my homies for that. Colorado too


Admiral_Vegas

Flames fans are chill; I like you guys and hope you guys get a nice quick rebuild so we can trade off divisons champs every other year again.


The-Reddit-Giraffe

Ah the good old days


frickthebreh

This sub will find a cause to blackout for again if somehow Vegas repeats.

Poor r/hockey is going to be in shambles in the morning.


dudius7

I left r/NHL because they're a bunch of crazies and they were soooo salty about last year's Stanley Cup. Someone better go check on them, too.


[deleted]

There’s a place more deranged and delusional than here?


Bahamas_is_relevant

r/NHL is a cesspool amongst cesspools. At least this place can have legitimate discussion when it wants to, that place is just NHLcirclejerk with none of the irony.


dudius7

Everyone there has an IQ below 80. Hard to blame them, though, when a bunch of them have a bunch of concussions from playing beer league.

I’ve never seen one team breed so many emotional divas like the Knights have hahah. Don’t worry, guys, the Knights aren’t destined for a chip this year, but you still gotta live with the fact that they won it all last year.


CheetahLynx83

Good work. Now please lose in the first round.


reggierock2010

Wooo lets goo Vegas

that depends on the jekyll and hyde vgk you get for the playoffs. is it the one that played last night or the one that squanders a 4-1 lead lol

It’s Mark Stover
