Is Wayne Newton a hockey fan? He could be the Jack Nicholson of the NHL.

i feel terrible for the true hockey fan in that market.


so when can we get Phoneix into Quebec city



/too soon..


seriously however I do feel bad but it doesnt work so why keep losing the $$. Winnipeg is lucky they have some really good players on this team.

Vegas would be great. The rest of the league would have a tough time competing with Vegas on the free agent market. I mean lets be serious who wouldn't want to play in Vegas??

Wayne - LOL.

Now Jerry Bruckheimer of CSI wealth & fame keeps getting some mention of owning a team in the NHL.

And to top it off he is a fan of hockey! Every year he has a celeb charity game here in Vegas.

He's been on NHL live talking about his love of hockey. He'd like to own a team, but I guess he's had a hard time getting a group together.

Sorry her rendition of Sweet Child of Mine is like Nails on a chalkboard. I can't believe she won an award for it. The music industry should be ashamed of itself.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. Mine is she butchered a great song.

Vegas would get a lot of away team support!

I read a report once in a local Vegas paper (in the hotel room recooping my losses) that stated the few main reasons they don't take on a team is the sports books and will the given leagues support the legal gambling on the games with ownership probably coming from one of the sports book owners (ala casino owners). Also the other they are not sure there is enough revenue generated from local season ticket sales.

Slash is shooting heroin as we speak. Borrowed from IPW.

Meh, Sheryl Crow seems like a very self-confident woman who lacks the drug addictions or daddy issues it would take for a celebrity of her stature to randomly sleep with an everyday guy like myself.

Give me a Lohan or a Love-Hewitt over her.

Just like when she jinxed the Steelers the one AFC championship game by waving the terrible towel after singing!

I'm not a fan of that cover either, but I am a fan of Sheryl Crow...

Good points. I understand this argument 10-20 years ago, but so many of the cities with teams now have casinos anyway, betting is more widely done via the Internet, and Vegas is so squeaky clean now that I think these prohibitors have been greatly reduced, if not made almost irrelevant. That said, I'm sure that even if all the things I posited are true, it's still the biggest hurdle to Vegas having a pro sports team.

If you can get fan support from Vegas like you have in Phoenix (maybe better with no competition from baseball, football, basketball) + away fans traveling + random tourists coming in (shows are so pricey there, hockey tickets will seem cheap), you'd have a pretty good chance of being sold out every game. PLUS, for Phoenix fans, this would still be their closest team. Lot of positives there.

Great point...Yeah anymore the gambling thing doesn't matter or really shouldn't matter.

Very true Vegas will have a ton of tourism support unlike a Phoenix or ATL.
