And don't take it from me, a day after watching the Avalanche lose the series... go read the internets. Caps fans hate the Knights and they WON. That should clearly tell you something... they should have been happy to play an expansion team for a chance at their elusive Cup, yet they also hated playing them. Weird, huh.
I know some people hated the process of giving up players and what not and bitterness around them landing Fleury, but it goes deeper than that.
And there is no "heartbreak"... making the Finals year 1 is 2014 Royals, "WTF is happening" level of fandom. It's the best possible situation for fans, super low expectations that keep getting obliterated by success with a crazy unexpected ride.

It's funny how you talk about "goon" when the avs almost knocked our Jamark out of the series with a vicious, cowardly hit in the first game..Reeves only did what was obligated.
