Vegas is rewriting the books on how to sustain success in the NHL.
Draft picks, trade them all
Coach ain't getting it done after game 74, fire him
Goaltender was acquitted, we can get him cheap
Fleury won a Vezina, so?
It's cruel, but it's fucking great.
The Vegas Golden Knights are the most hated NHL team in America, with 11 states naming them as their top "villain" team, according to a new Rotowire study.
Their rapid success, 2023 Stanley Cup win, and extremely attractive fan base appear to have fueled the backlash.
Vegas' entire franchise history:
2018 • Lost in Stanley Cup Finals
2019 • Lost 1st round
2020 • Lost 3rd round
2021 • lost 2nd round
2022 • missed playoffs
2023 • Won Stanley Cup 🏆
2024 • lost 1st round
2025 • lost 2nd round
2026 • Made 3rd round
Insane.
