I wasn't being snarky about this.

My objection to the post I quoted was the implicit *assumption* that they knew how hockey worked, that somehow Vegas has broken the immutable laws of hockey, and that we should all pack our bags now and be done with it.

If we're confused / curious about the success of Vegas (which I think we ought to be), then the solution is to think harder and be humble about our assumptions and understanding rather than throw all the papers up in the air, break our pencils and say the system is now broken.
