Vegas Golden Knights: Do You Like The Name?

[HacheMan]

Agreed that it will eventually simply be Knights.

Kinda like the Devil Rays went to Rays only...

 

[CarolinaKid]

i think Wayne Newton Merry Men would have been a better name lol

 

[HacheMan]

Seems with such a large abundance of gambling terms, they could have found something that stuck.

Heck Las Vegas Vig/Vegas Vig doesn't even sound bad once you say it a few times...

 

[CarolinaKid]

here a good one The Vegas Fix

 

[CarolinaKid]

here another Sin City Bombers

 

[Mr_Mark]

could be worse

Looks like what they wear here in Orlando at a Dinner Show place called Medieval Times...

Damn you just ruined the jerseys for me. I got roped into going to that stupid show once on vacation, terrible.

LoL then you see my point huh?

 

[JoeShmoe]

When they suck, can they be nicknamed the "Golden Showers" ?

Hahaha well done.

Terrible uniforms. And how are they going to keep the ice from meltingly there in Sin City?

 

[HacheMan]

Regardless, still exciting to see a new team in Vegas.

I will definitely plan to attend a game my next trip to Vegas...

From what I hear they are not going to suck that bad. Supposed to be the best expansion team ever. First expansion in salary cap era.

i think the NHL screwed them on this draft. Should not have been some weird socialism where each team loses 1 player...should have been Vegas' picks out of the entire group of unprotected players.

You really think they take Derek Engelland if they could snag Ian Cole? cool story, since he's a vegas dude, but barely a top 6 defenseman on a bad NHL team.

Looking at this roster I just don't see how they can't completely suck. other than Methot i don't think they have a single player that would start for the Pens. perhaps Neal, if he would be ok as a 4th line winger....

 

[mplastered]

Should've used the name from the Houston team in the old USFL. The Las Vegas Gamblers.

Are they going to have problems keeping the ice cold enough?

Like this.

Westgate put up a season win total on them at 70.5 yesterday. I took some under, the number is now 69.5. I still think the under is a strong play.

 

[SgtLanquel]

^^ Agree.....That number infers approx 30 straight up wins and at least 10 OT losses. I would be very surprised if they can win even 25

 

[CarolinaKid]

here a great name Vegas Neon Lites

 

[5teamparlay]

-FH- loves it and says they might be a contender in a couple of years. And he's been in the bag a lot lately too.

cheersgif

Good luck Knights

I was right on the money there. Sadly this is where their quest ends.
