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.

Yeah I don't care about St. Louis that is also totally different
Vegas had a MASSIVE advantage over any modern day expansion team though so its kinda a tough comparison for me. Like I said though impressive but their draft rules were so unprecedented its tough to compare.
And they are a LONG way from being cup champs...
