2leagues in one day not too shabby

Preliminary deal reached for downtown soccer stadium - Las Vegas MyNews3 - KSNV

 

[mattola]

road trips will be epic

 

[davnlaguna]

I think this one would totally have a shot!

That would make 2 teams in the NHL that would get confused with Sacramento.

There are two Roughrider teams in some faux football league, so Why not two Kings teams.

My wife suggests the Las Vegas Glitter
Gamblers or Jakapoles.

Hey guise....SI is also reporting that Vegas will be getting an NHL team.

I'm going to assume she's talking about Gary.

Forget the Redskins, that name is offensive to 2 different groups of people at the same time.

I did not know of the change,
Kings and Avs play a game in Vegas every year. It is an excuse to party all weekend. Every year some TV or radio guy comes out before the game and says, how great it would be to get a team in Vegas. See how many people come to a preason game.
However, most people that are there drove from LA to get wasted. Very few people at the game live near Las Vegas

Oh LA Kiss my ass Dave.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

If the league expands to Vegas before getting a team to Quebec City, that would be an even bigger slap to fans there than when the Nords left.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Oh LA Kiss my ass Dave.

I caught the 1st episode of 4th & Loud, and saw how happy they were to win their 1st game ever as a Franchise.

I immediately looked up how they did the rest of the season after that 1st game...


They lost 14 out of their next 16 games.

 

[davnlaguna]

Oh LA Kiss my ass Dave.

I live in Orange County, and see ads for that team several times a day.
99.00 for season tickets and a free kiss concert

Former Penguin Morozov Announces Retirement - Pittsburgh Penguins - Features

Brodeur killer finally called it quits in the KHL.

yikes ... how is he still alive?

buy a lottery ticket Sarich ... oh wait ... $28.655 shmill in career earnings ... almost as shocking as him still being alive



Mowing the lawn and driving the boat at their family's summer home in Windermere, B.C., Cory Sarich, by all accounts, is leading a pretty normal life.
About a month ago, however, that was not the case for the former Calgary Flames defenceman and current free agent.

Sarich had gone out for a morning ride on July 21, taking his hybrid bike along Windermere Loop Road — a challenging, 40-minute training session on a quiet road.

He approached a descent and spotted an oncoming grey Ford F-350 Ford truck. The driver made a left-hand turn in front of him without signalling. Sarich used his brakes and tried to stay in control of his bike but skidded and ended up sliding underneath the vehicle on his stomach.

The driver’s right rear tire had driven over his back, nearly crushing his body. Sarich suffered five cracked vertebrae, burns on his shoulder and wrist from the truck’s muffler, a swollen left arm and leg, a large laceration on his head, and a serious case of road rash.

Shaken, shocked, and bleeding extensively, Sarich still managed to stand up and called for help.

“The first thing in my mind was, ‘I’m not going to die here right now, so let’s get this thing moving,’ ” recalled the Saskatoon native who was drafted 27th overall in the 1996 NHL entry draft. “I wasn’t sure the severity of my injuries. I’d worn all the ends of my fingertips off. I was bleeding from everywhere, I had so much road rash.

“My helmet was busted up in probably seven or more pieces. It was just in pieces hanging by the chinstrap and was actually choking me, so good thing I had that on because it helped in saving my life.”

I think "Queens" would be more Vegas appropriate.

How about the Vegus Ante? Or the Vegas Binge? Las Vegas Aces? Las Vegas Chips? Las Vegas Flush?

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I for one can't wait for the plethora of awful "what happens in Vegas" jokes that would accompany a potential LV team.
