In what league could a brand new team dominate? Can anyone name any other league that's happened

[@rewind2482]

NBA, Milwaukee Bucks
They were terrible in their first year, but were the second best team in the league their second year and perhaps one of the ten best teams in NBA history their third year.

Fenway sports group loves sullivan. Sullivan should fire reirden though.

[@DonovanRios88]

Once again…It isn’t because the Avs have the most explosive offense and just exposed the jets defense…these mfs wanna discredit the Avs so much. Keep doubting😂😂

Anything that threatens the oilers from winning, they get nervous

Arizona fans are fed up with the Meruelo's! It would not be in the best interest of the NHL to give Alex Meruelo another franchise. The man is a P.O.S.! He doesn't care about his product, the fans, the media(Which has done everything to help him). The players, loved Arizona, but hated Meruelo. The guy is a CANCER TO THE LEAGUE! Arizona wants hockey WITHOUT ALEX MERUELO!
