inside and outside of hockey circles. No NHL team could come close to the interest America had in it, ever.

POLL: Do you expect there to be a Disney-esque movie based on the Vegas Golden Knights first season?

Why? Miracle was one of the all time great sports movies. I would love to see another great hockey film made.

This isn't even close to the same thing

This is the same thing patriotically, but in terms of improbability, its up

The difference is that everyone cared. With Vegas almost nobody cares.

You are equating your lack of interest to being that there is a general lack of interest in the Vegas storyline.

I'm not sure that's true. The Vegas Strong angle makes it compelling.

Were you around in 1980? It isn't even close.

Sea Chicken

5/21/18 4:34pm

Yep, and you may be right the story is less compelling than 1980 hockey team

Gil Buckman

5/21/18 4:39pm

Relatively speaking, almost nobody cares.

Why even post on this thread if you care so little?

It's a nice story, but nowhere near as improbably as what Leicester did in

Plenty of us? Can you show me anyone who predicted this even say the first month or two of the season?

I just watched a sports film about a high school womens volleyball team that won a state championship.

Yes, but they will have to find an actor we can understand to play Fleury
