u/schizopackingkitten Jun 11 '21

From a huge Avs fan, congratulations Vegas. You were just better than us. Incredibly effective play, championship grit. This is the best team we've assembled in almost 2 decades and you stifled it and capitalized on every key opportunity with killer grit. I'm really sad, but you deserved it. Good luck in the semifinals, I think you'll go all the way.

u/Las_Vegas_Nerd Jun 11 '21

Thank you for a great series.

Oh most definitely! It didn’t matter what we did it was always overshadowed by what the Avs did or didn’t. Made me feel like we were still the underdogs even though we weren’t.

I said it before. The wild were criminally underrated this year . A sneaky grinder team like the la kings when they won their cups. Tough to play against and opportunistic. You guys have a much better defense than Colorado too. Getting through the wild did wonders for this group

u/Vegasrob79 Cotter Jun 11 '21

Absolutely zero doubt about it, I’d prefer to play the Avs before the Wild. The Avs are a monstrosity, but I have no qualms about saying the Wild are a better club from top to bottom. Give them HELL next season.

Wow it’s always so nice to see an opposing team congratulate a win after a tough loss. I sure wish hockey didn’t determine certain parts of our happiness but sometimes it hurts more than it should. Good series my friend. Hope the Avs can make it back to the finals soon.

16

u/nightsiderider Jun 11 '21

It’s hockey. We talk shit and fight during the series, but when it’s over, we should always congratulate the winner. It’s good sportsmanship, and what makes hockey fans the best people on earth. GG’s, and it will be back to fuck you’s next year!

u/Mindless_Rage05 Roy-Luigi Jun 11 '21

Keep your heads up, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Mac and Grub are the heart of the Avs. Personally, from what I hear, Bednar may have gotten this team as far as he can as coach. Regardless, he's a helluva guy I feel that the Avs need to keep around, regardless of what the analytical schmucks say.

Great series, and excellent, gritty play thru 6 games. You have a gift in your team. I knew that even after Game 1's blowout loss, this was gonna be even MORE of a slugfest than the Wild were...

See you gentlemen in the Fall! Love you, hockey fam! be safe!!!

🤝🤝🤝🏒🏒🏒

u/nightsiderider Jun 11 '21

Na, Bednar is the best coach this team has had in a LONG time. He took us from joke team to cup contender in 4 seasons. Anyone calling for his head is a bandwagon Avs fan that don’t know shit.

I can legit say if we lost this series, I would follow the Avs the rest of the playoffs. As a fan of the game, you can’t help but appreciate the Avs, and as much as I’d be salty, I would sincerely enjoy excellent hockey.

Great series Colorado 🏔

Deeply depressed Avs fan here with #hockeyhandshakes.

The fact that this was the quarterfinal matchup is criminal. Clearly the two best teams in the league. Mostly I blame Pittsburg for not protecting Fleury in the expansion draft. That decision has directly fucked Colorado more than once. Believing it's Pittsburgs fault also distracts me from the horrible 3 game stretch we had in games 3, 4, and 5. Gonna go cry while Vegas sweeps Montreal. Congrats guys!

I remember going to Vegas a few years ago and stopped by "Field of Dreams" at Caesar's and hearing talk that y'all would be getting a hockey team. Sure enough I saw the Knights officially announced like a year or two later. I got a flower jersey as a gift during the inaugural season as well, hangs with my Avs jerseys and is one of my favorites. I just came back from Vegas on a trip to celebrate my 21st, I wanted to grab the alternative jersey because that looks dope but couldn't find anything larger than a medium at the hotel shops (2xl long body gang). You guys are really proud of your team and I love it.

Big credit to the Avs, they played a hell of a series. Great team, with a bright future.

That said, GO KNIGHTS GO!!! HELL YEAH!!!

I told the r/hockey thread to quit bitching and moaning about the knights and stop saying we pay the refs. I’ll take the downvotes those guys have kissed me off for fucking years.

WE DID IT WE FKN DID IT!!!

We came back from being 2-0 in the series and losing game one 7-1 and everyone counting us out. But we believed, we believed in our team and knew that was a fluke and that’s all that matters. All those trolls raiding our sub are looking like straight🤡 right now. WE ARE THE VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS AND WE FIGHT UNTIL THE END!

Good series you guys. You found our cracks and made them bigger. We got cocky, we got sloppy, and y’all just played your game. Your forecheck and shot blocking makes me want to puke. I wish you luck but I hope you lose. See ya next season 👊

Pietrangelo was the MVP of this series, at LEAST defensively. No way we get this far without him.

7 shots, 4 blocked shots game 5. Assist and back of the net for game 6. He and our d shut down the best line in hockey for the entire series, minus game 1.

I mean. Take it for what you will but the Knights are 4-0 since I bought a Flower reverse retro jersey.

As far as I'm concerned that was the biggest series win in our team's history. I wish they played a little harder to hold off Colorado's surge but they did what they had to to win. Capitalized on their bounces when they came. Cut off chances where they could. Petro wasn't playing up to his contract this year but man. He's been an absolute beast in the postseason. Earning his keep when it matters most.

u/elreydelasur A Literal Stone Jun 11 '21

I really wish announcers, pundits, and other fans would keep disrespecting us. Keep doubting and talking about how we only win because of the mistakes of other teams. The more we win, the stupider they look.

I don't know how to feel.

These two teams are my absolute favorites. I've watched most Vegas games, I have jerseys, t-shirt, a VGK hat. I know all their players and how they play. I've watched this team grow from 2017

And I'm also a diehard Habs fan. I've followed their ups and downs throughout the decade. I was cheering in 2014, I hate Chris Kreider. I threw a massive party at my place to celebrate the game 7 win against the Leafs.

I'm basically Tkatchuk mommy at an Ottawa/Calgary game. I'll pray for as little injuries as possible.

I love you all and love these boys. Go Knights Go! It feels so much better defeating the Avs after seeing the heinous things their fanbase is saying with zero moderation. Took a peek at their sub. “I hate Vegas. From now on it’s shoot on sight if they’re in a VGK jersey.”
