I know this sounds harsh, but you guys all deserve to live in Edmonton.

I said as much in a different thread that it's been hard to take all the whining here for the last few months. The Flames had a bad season boo-hoo for us. I think it's great to see the dinosaurs running the league get a wake up call that there's more than one way to build and run a team.
A lot of luck was involved with this success but the owners deserve credit for hiring the right guy in McPhee who deserves a lot of credit for hiring the right coach as he could have easily picked the next Eakins/Gulutzan and picking the right players as he could have taken a bunch of goaltenders other than Fleury. They also have to thank the Florida Panthers for being the Florida Panthers as well as a few other teams that mismanaged their assets. It's highly doubtful we will ever see another expansion team have this amount of success seeing how many things fell into place for the Golden Knights organization as it's hard enough to find the right GM or head coach separately but to get them in one take and then have a bunch of teams mishandle their assets is simply something that's not going to be very repeatable.
