The whine is incredible, funny, and sad all at the same time. Its completely illogical. I cant remember the post but one guy even said the NHL put together a "juggernaut" in Vegas. Its a team that has had everything come together in near miraculous fashion, not a team loaded with hall of famers. That's why things like intangibles matter -- its the chemistry that gets weaker teams to outperform supposedly stronger teams.
You can't make up the level of irrationality with some of these posts. Not sure how the NHL is supposed to just stop teams from winning because you don't think its fair. In no way was this team constructed to go this far. Get a grip.
