There aren’t really “super teams” like there are in the NBA. Having the best players doesn’t mean your team will dominate in the NHL. Having team chemistry is just as important as being talented in a sport like hockey. It’s just too fast paced for one player to completely take over. The Golden Knights players work together extremely well. There was very little pressure based on expectations coming into the season and I’m sure most of them were playing with a chip on their shoulders after being deemed not important enough to be protected by their former teams. It’s a good underdog story. I enjoy the parity and knowing before each season, your team isn’t necessarily eliminated from playoff contention from the get go. To each their own though. I can understand if you think it’s a negative thing for the NHL. [/QUOTE]
