Last night, the Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars clashed in an intense game 5 of the Western Conference Final, with the potential to secure a spot in the Stanley Cup final for the Knights.

Making it about Arizona after losing a crucial game in the conference final seems unfair. Also, the phrase "no disrespect" often carries an underlying tone of disrespect.
