It’s kind of impressive that the Stanley Cups have been hoisted in the Fortress 3 times in 9 years. VGK have been to three SCF’s is incredible. Two of them didn’t go our way, but to have the Cup raised this many times in our barn, is remarkable. We are lucky to have a team and management that are capable of putting us in this sort of a position to compete in the finals.
It sucks. It really does. But any franchise in pro sports would kill to have the level of success we’ve had.
1 Cup, 3 Finals, 5 Conference Finals, 8/9 years in the playoffs.
A bittersweet ending for sure. We’ll be back. And we’ll be better.

The World Cup absolutely mogs every other sporting event. It’s what the Olympics wishes it was X100.
You’ve got Europeans road-tripping across America and having their minds blown by Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. You’ve got a small Kansas town falling in love with an Algerian club that chose Kansas City as their homebase. You’ve got South Korea training in Utah to prepare for the altitude in Guadalajara.
For one month, the whole world forgets we’re supposed to hate each other over differences that barely matter. It’s the closest thing we have to world peace.
I swear to God we are living in Idiocracy. Everyday I think 'This can't be real.' But it is.
You couldn't write a satirical movie like the insane shitshow we are being forced to live through in real life.
in the US, if you're a private company on private land, you can do whatever you want
if you're a public entity, you have to personally interview and kiss every single homeowner nearby and tickle their balls too or else they can sue you 10,000 times to stall every project
Hey, remember when Pete Buttigieg and President Biden made airlines give passengers instant refunds if a flight was canceled, and then Trump reversed it and then bankrupted Spirit Air?
Spending the equivalent of Trump’s proposed military budget could:
-Globally: End hunger & extreme poverty; and
-In the US: End homelessness, cover the uninsured, provide universal pre-K, send a 2nd round of $600 checks, & power 50% of households with solar.

The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank.
It just published a 30-year study showing immigrants paid 14.5 trillion dollars more in taxes than they received in government benefits.
Every single year. For thirty years. Without exception.
The country was lied to.
Here is what the study found.🧵
