Interesting that, to my knowledge, the Golden Knights arena was entirely private funded.  However the larger, HUGE revenue making clubs in Vegas (Raiders & soon to be A's), are likely at least partially publically funded.

Wow! I cant help but think that these people aren’t happy enough,…nor are they celebrating enough. 
 

Remember when Team-Canada won  Olympic Gold in Vancouver? The Vancouver Canucks winning the Stanley Cup in VanCity, I honestly expect to surpass the frenzied-jubilation of that! 

Taking it for granted like their expansion favored team

You can't help but feel some jealously/bitterness watching Vegas hoist a Stanley cup and they managed to accomplish it only 6 years.

I don't think Vancouver isn't enticing enough for big-ticket players to sign here. We're small fish in comparison to American cities like Vegas.

You realize they got to start their franchise by hand picking players? A bit of a head start.

 

Vancouver is a world class city and there are plenty of reasons for players to sign on here. Don't kid yourself. There's a reason they stay on here long after they're done.

It might be a problem for the Vegas players winning the Cup. They prefer playing there (like mostly all US cities) because they can live their lives away from the rink in total anonymity. But now that they’re Cup winners they might actually be recognized as celebrities away from the rink. No more quiet, safe lives. It will never be like up here, but I sure hope those players now can’t go out of their houses without being pestered for autographs and photos. Suffer you bas**rds. 

I dont think Doughty is recognized in LA.  Nobody goes to Vegas to catch glimpses of hockey players.  Now they have a football team and baseball team too.

Well the taxes definitely doesn't help. But it is mainly how bad we are the past decade. 

 

Back in 2009-2012, big name players were dying to sign with us. 

 

Like players have said, Canadian markets are the best when winning and a living hell when losing.

I remember there was 40 points difference in season games between NYI and van. 

 

Yep it was David and Goliath.  That Islanders team was insane.  Imagine when your 4th and 5th best forwards (Tonelli and Brent Sutter) are 100 point players.  And that's leaving out Butch Goring who some might say was better, Bob Nystrom, Bob Bourne and Duane Sutter.  That is an absolutely unreal top three lines of forwards.  And then a defenseman who can score 100 points as well.

 

Meanwhile the Canucks in their entire history had never even had a player score 90 points once.

Have the Raiders done anything since their owner told Marcus Allen to 'hit the road'?

No it’s just weird you respond then play the why are you responding card. 
 

I can respond yet still not care what you think my reasoning is. They aren’t mutually exclusive. As it is a discussion board.

Many people don't realize that Isles team could play pretty much *any* style.  Skate like the Oilers?  They had players that could do that.  Brawl like the Flyers (it wasn't THAT far removed from the peak of the Broad Street Bullies)?  They could play that way too (Clark Gillies was a legit tough guy/fighter in the heavyweight category).

Boudreau’s was close 3 or 4 70+ pt seasons. In the 70s

That panel is rapidly deteriorating. 
No chemistry and hints of animosity starting to show amongst them.

I miss that hockey was a better game.

 

I still love hockey.
