Are the Las Vegas Knights making it to the finals good or bad for hockey?
I'm leaning towards bad.
I accept it's a great story. But is it really good for hockey? Does it expose how much puck luck plays a role? Does it show that you can muck it up enough in the game to level the playing field? I can't see how either football, basketball, or baseball could have anything similar happen. Have any of them even had a team break .500 in their expansion year?

Cleveland Browns were 10-2 in 1950 but that was sorta a special circumstance.

They were taken in as a merger team from the AAFC
Although the AAFC played only four years, it had a major, lasting impact on pro football. Of all the leagues that challenged the NFL, only the American Football League of the 1960s influenced the NFL more than the AAFC.
The Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and original Baltimore Colts began in the AAFC.
Fifteen AAFC alumni are enshrined in pro football's Hall of Fame.

And the St Louis Blues went to the Stanley Cup finals in year 1....but again a weird circumstance.
The NHL expanded and put all the new teams in a separate conference.

Why the fuck not? Do you enjoy seeing Alabama win every year?

It’s such an obscure market for hockey. Makes me wonder if enough people know to even bet on it.

There really isn't an "Alabama" in the NHL anyway.

Their pre-game show is not good for anyone.

Snob. Vegas just doesn’t have the professional-level dancers you’re used to seeing in Buffalo.
