It would be impressive but I don't really get the historical talk. I mean their goalie won the Stanley cup last season...this isn't your grand mother's expansion team comprised of 4th liners and waiver wire pickups.

well if you look at the STL run, there were 2 divisions in the NHL. The expansion division and the other one with all the OG6 teams.
didn't matter which expansion team made it, history was going to be made. Thats why buddy said it shouldnt count. Maybe if they made a series out the playing the Canadiens, then it'd be more legit? I don't know, Just think even with the benefit of gracious expansion draft rules, the Knights really had no business doing the thing they're doing. But here we are and I think modern media is going to frenzy the crap out of this run if they make it to the WCF.
As far as I know, no expansion team won a WS in baseball their inagural season, no NBA team, no NFL team. It's a big deal....I think. For sport.
