They also play exciting hockey. They're always the first to the puck, they hit hard, they play hard and they WANT to win. I haven't seen a Flames team do that in over a decade.
We SHOULD be jealous.

Couldn't agree more with the points above.
I too, want to see Fleury and a dominating Vegas team win the cup. That would mean a threepeat for Fleury. #1 Overall draft pick reinforcing that he has what it takes to win.
I'm just glad that I get to experience so many miracle runs in sports history over the last few years. Vegas, Leicester City, Chicago Cubs, American Pharoah. It's been a great decade for all sports and I hope it keeps going in this direction.
