Las Vegas Bettmans sounds good to me.

 

[BGDave]

Las Vegas "It isn't legal in Vegas, no really, it isn't"s (too long)

Las Vegas Silver Stars (like the Silver tie-in, but maybe another team would object )

Las Vegas Mirage along with the slogan "here today, gone tomorrow"

Las Vegas Goombas (old school charm)

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Las Vegas Organized Crime

Las Vegas STDs

Las Vegas That's Not a Womans

Las Vegas Elderly Cocktail Waitresses

 

[mattola]

Las Vegas Road Trip

 

[anotheridiot]

Las Vegas Chips, Ice Chips, poker chips. Whether their uniforms pay homage to ponch and john is a bonus.

Las Vegas Roadrunners

We have West Side Story when the Sharks play the Jets and we can have Looney Tunes when the Roadrunners face the Coyotes.

I feel like we kinda already have Looney Tunes related to the Coyotes anyhow.

Well, if the last desert team taught us anything, it's that to be successful you have to include the whole state. So I suggest:

Nevada Cash Grab
Nevada Bunny Ranchers
Nevada Pit Bosses

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Also it is highly unlikely that there is anything that is gambling associated

yah I had heard someone say the NHL told Foley to stay away from a name that had any gambling connotation

i was really hoping for the Las Vegas Inveterates

How about something with a positive connotation instead?

Like the Nevada Hoover Dams

They can just call them the Dams for short.

Hockey McHockeyfaces?

There is a famous dam near by, I am hearing the team may be called the Hoovers.

Edit^ dammit

 

[jstewismybastardson]

hey guyses how bout the Hoovers!!!!???

 

[forty_three]

Las Vegas Flop
Las Vegas Turn
Las Vegas River


By the way, I was quite amused that the very first commercial shown on NHL Network after the press conference was the one where three Latina prostitutes lie and say they've never been to Vegas in order to trick lonely schlubs into spending money on them. "I don't know, it's our first time"

So fitting.

Las Vegas Voided Contracts
Las Vegas Misconduct (That's a hockey term!)

hey guyses how bout the Hoovers!!!!???
