Fear and Loathing in Vegas

Спорт

Thank you SeatGeek for sponsoring this video. Use code TREE for $20 off your first order. seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TREE
The unprecedented Cup run of the Vegas Golden Knights in their inaugural season is a story for the ages: A team no one expected to even make the playoffs won an entire conference. Despite this incredible fortune, there is plenty of risk involved in such an enterprise: Greatly accelerating your window due to heightened expectations, juggling between new blood and loyalty to the old core, and straddling a line between competitiveness and outright desperation.
Vegas, in these past five years, have done everything in their power to get to another Cup final, but has their eagerness to do so damaged them? Has going all-in every single year been to their detriment? Was the insane Cup run in their first year more of a curse than a blessing?
With the way the Golden Knights have managed their success, it may have been more of a curse than once let on.
Now watch as this becomes hideously out of date next year as they go deep in the playoffs again.

    The Knights upper management with their actions have essentially said that they don't care about chemistry or loyalty or the actual human emotions of their players. As long as they get back to the Cup, that's all that matters. They neglected to realize that team unity and chemistry was a major factor in the success in their inaugural season. They've become more soulless, cutthroat, and unlikable every year since and the product has suffered as a result.

    @@Hiccuple Fleury was one of the worst starters in the league and the Knights goaltending as a whole wad one of the worst in the league at the time a young-ish guy freshly of a Vezina nomination was being offered at bellow market value. Since then, Fleury won his Vezina and went right back to being one of the worst starters in the league behind a defencive corp ranked around 10th in the league, the same ranking the Knights had when Lehner was first aquired (results vary from model to model). Youre either being purposely obtuse or did not pay attention to the team at the time. As for Stone, he's been one of the best players in his position and excellent for the Knights; he is a little less justified, but its not like the Knights lost much on his acquisition (the only argument to be made here is that he cemented the team's bad habit of always chasing big names rather than just sticking to a successful corp. His contract might also be a problem 3 years from now, but thats a different problem all toguether)

    Gallant has been very bad here in NY. Outclassed behind the bench by Sullivan, his player deployment is a joke, willingly played 4/5 of the worst players in the league in terms of possession and shot generation often times more than the obviously talented young players, it took him until game 5 of the playoffs to finally realize Patrick nemeth is the worst defenseman in the league. His unrequited love for big immobile veteran dmen is painful. Who actually plays the worst 4th line in the league more than a surprisingly good line of 20-22 year olds who generate some of the most offense on the team/60

He was just stating the blatantly obvious, This expansion team will suck in its first year of existence, a given in the world of professional sports... and what do you know the FIRST expansion team in tree's youtube tenure just so happens to be great... despite how incredible that jinx was... I do vaguely remember tree coming out with a praising video for the knights. "Everything they have touched has turned to gold thus far and I'm actually starting to really like them as a team moving forward. Will I admit that I was totally wrong?... not yet. It's very early in their history and the REAL test of their staying power will be 3-4 years down the road." - UT, Revisiting... The Vegas Golden Knights...a video from 4 years ago....

    The Vegas Knights got me into hockey, and I can’t believe how badly the organization has mismanaged such a perfect situation. It’s embarrassing being a fan. I’ve never felt like this as a SF 49ers, Giants, or Warriors fan, even when each of these teams were bottom of the barrel losers. Not every move was bad! Patches and Stone were amazing gets that we don’t regret. The 3 big moves that totally screwed us: Firing Gallant Signing Pietrangelo Trading Fleury Gallant wasn’t fired for performance, but because he clashed with Foley and the GM… what a surprise. DeBoer sucks. Our power play under him has been pitiful. Our offense as a while is pathetic. How DeBoer is still around while Gallant was on such a short leash makes zero sense… Pietrangelo is a great player, but we didn’t need him. We had plenty of depth and traded it all to while also signing away all the cap space. Our cap situation wouldn’t be too too atrocious if we didn’t sign him. Trading for Lehner was an awesome move, but extending him and trading away Fleury were 2 horrible moves. And Fleury… there’s no words that can truly explain the betrayal true Vegas fans feel. He was the Vezina, who wanted to retire as a Knight. It turns out management saw him as a bridge goalie since the moment he became a Knight. Vegas’ management is idiotic, shameful, stubborn, arrogant, and spineless… I might be one of the few fans who loved the Eichel trade. Once healthy and next to Stone, Pacioretty, and Marchessault he should return to form. Again, if we didn’t pay Pietrangelo the cap situation wouldn’t be that terrible. Gallant and Fleury were, still are, and will always be beloved by the city. We had it all, a great present, bright future, a team that was exciting and lovable… and gone in the blink of an eye.

    Fleury was the face of the franchise that they chewed up and spit out. One of the worst betrayals of a player by a team I've ever seen. It's mind blowing and crazy that they traded the vezina winner after he had just won it that season. People would pay just to see him. I just can't even imagine teams like the Lakers doing that to Kobe or Yankees doing that to Derek Jeter or spurs doing that to Tim Duncan or who have you.

    Vegas fan, born/raised, Tree is 100% right. The first year spoiled us/management and i dont blame everyone for hating us due to how management treated basically everyone since. One thing i think needs to be mentioned that people often forget- we had the worst shooting in US history a week or so before our home opener in 2017. Vegas is a large city but almost everyone knew someone who was at that concert and it really shook the city. The Knights that first month and throughout the season were an incredible source for helping the city heal somewhat and made them endeared to us from the start. I think that connection from the beginning helped alot with them winning games. Now that beloved team has become a shell of itself and I can tell you for certain that many knights fans in vegas are not happy either at the way we've done business.

    As a true Vegas native (born and raised) who was just getting into hockey around 2015, to hear the mutterings of getting our own team was incredible. Imagine the high I got when every salty old head and shit talker was proven wrong by our Cinderella run in 2017. We acquired some pieces true but as soon as we axed Gallant, later followed by Fleury I knew deep down my beloved franchise, which brought a major sport to a city whose closest equivalent was the summer league, Tark's run which I wasn't alive for, and the Wranglers, was going to be the subject of a UT video. To say we sold our soul was an understatement. Every firing and trade cause more anger among me and fellow fans. We watched our misfits no longer fit together. A bargain bin dream was traded away for flash that seems empty. The Sharks crushed our souls in a way that them being a basement franchise before and since can't quite heal. Granted the dramatics may be a little much since it could be a blip (though I doubt it). It was still soul crushing every time Vegas made a move for a "high tier talent" at the expense of the guys who gave us our heart and soul. Watching guys like Neal, Reeves and Merrill be whisked off to other teams killed me as a fan. None of our recent moves seemed worth it, even at the time. Were we hampered by injuries? Sure, but unless we at least get a new coach this off season we're going to be right back where we were this year. I think Foley has been a decent owner, and having the team as a shining star after a national tragedy made me feel proud to be from a city that was the butt of jokes. Now our team is one too.

    2:08 Sorry Tree, but that was a loaded talent pool chalk full of top 6 forwards but light on defense save for Fleury. Not to mention their GM was openly threatening to take specific players and naming names, (something Bettman put a stop to right before the deadline but it was too little too late,) resulting in teams offering up prospects and draft picks for them to walk away from specific players he named. This set the table for a very stacked Knights team that the Canadian pundits predicted to make the playoffs in a weak Pacific division. They had the deck stacked in their favor unlike Seattle which was an overcorrection on the league's part.
