caps and ovy have history you know the team and players the VGK its like a team of players you hardly know from 30 teams in the league with a few exceptions
its hard to like a team that has no real background or history or players you even know that well compared to the caps with ovy backstrom holtby ect ect


i wouldnt say people hate the VGK but maybe just like the caps better

Let’s be honest.
It’s only because it’s their first year in the league.
Ovi deserves this cup more than most.

i roll my eyes a bit when people talk about them as the greatest underdog story ever, but other than that i dont mind them.

comparisons to other recent expansion teams fall flat when you consider that the league purposefully changed the rules to make the expansion teams much more competitive.


LVK traded away to get extra draft picks etc.. They tried to lose. And just ended up winning.

Nobody deserves it more than the other. You deserve it when you win it
