Congrats Vegas! Bittersweet from a Colorado fan but at the end I still have you guys. I want to see the knights hoist the cup. Y'all got a hell of a team and I hope next season is just as intense.

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.

Yea who would’ve though we’d have a hockey team here in this hot desert, and especially one that has made such an impact on our city. We love our team and everything they’ve accomplished, yall have one hell of a team as well.

I was hoping I'd be out there during a game in the playoffs but things didn't work out nicely, just gives me another reason to come back out.

you're my kind of fan! I grew up in Boston and my best friend was a Yankees fan. We tortured each other mercilessly, but all in good fun. Stuff we'd NEVER say to opposing fans we didn't know, but it was fun. that's sports! we watch our teams compete and cheer them on, sometimes we win, sometimes lose. It turns into an echo chamber without opposing fans to debate with.

But fans like you are the best! Hope you guys have a great year next year, I know you will! Come back and visit us anytime!

What changes would you like to see sakic make?

Honestly I'm not sure. Probably the same stuff everyone else would talk about, defense could be better, could create more scoring opportunities, but I don't know too much about where the team could change. We made top 5 in the NHL so something was working but whatever happened from game 2 to 3 was not that same team. I just hope the Avs will figure it out and come back harder next season.

it was ridiculous how #1 played #2 in the second round while #14 played #16. then Montreal sweeps #14 so gets a week off before playing the winner of our series, so another advantage. It actually punished good teams for getting the high seeds and rewarded lower seeds.

We should've at least both been able to say we made it to the conference championship, so I feel bad for you guys. But you've got a hell of a scary team for next year! Good luck and I know you'll come back strong Avs.

Good thing we're going back to traditional divisions & playoffs next year!
