    Well, the moves paid off. The Golden Knights are in the Stanley Cup finals and are waiting the outcome of the Lightning/Capitals series.

    Amazing. I am hoping for long-suffering Capital's fans versus upstart Vegas fans.
    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

    Just off the top of my head, the Arizona Diamondbacks have won the World Series, the Florida Marlins have too, twice as well as the NY Mets and the Toronto Blue Jays winning the World Series twice. Not to mention the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA along with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Penguins have won 5 Stanley Cups and the LA Kings in the NHL won the Stanley Cup 3 times as have the New Jersey Devils (who started life as the expansion Colorado Rockies before relocating). The Philadelphia Flyers have won the Cup twice. And the Tampa Bay Lightning have also won the Stanley Cup. And if you want to count the MLS, the Chicago Fire won the championship in their first year of existence when the MLS expanded for the first time.

    I was defining expansion team as first year of existence. So, yes, you'd have to count the Fire in MLS, which I wasn't counting.

    Well, damn.

    Ovie and the Caps were lights out. This is the best Ovie I've ever seen, totally killed the 'not a clutch player' stigma the last two games.

    Yup... can you imagine being single too?

    I was listening to a podcast and one of the ex-NHL'ers was saying when the Bruins won the cup the young guys went on an absolute bender for a month before one of the veterans finally called the boys in and said 'alright, that's it, shut'er down'
