Must have been lots of cussing in the dressing room while lacing them up. He's the same guy who wanted the MLB to adopt orange baseballs to aid the batters vision of the ball. Mind you his A's were a powerhouse in baseball during the early 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of the season players said they weighed like 10 pounds lol. But they looked cool. That's what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adarsh Sant Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Quote VEGAS - June 8, 2017 - Vegas Golden Knights General Manager George McPhee announced today, June 8, the team has hired Mike Kelly as an assistant coach. Kelly and Golden Knights Head Coach Gerard Gallant will be available to media by phone on a request basis. "We are very proud of the addition of Mike to our team's coaching staff," said Vegas Golden Knights General Manager George McPhee. "His experience as a coach at various level within professional hockey and as a recent assistant coach under Gerard with the Panthers made him a well-rounded candidate. His familiarity with Gerard's coaching style and practices will make this a seamless transition for our club." "I am very excited to be working with Mike again," said Vegas Golden Knights Head Coach Gerard Gallant. "We enjoyed success in both Florida and Saint John and I am eager to bring that success to the Golden Knights. Mike is a great guy with a wealth of hockey knowledge and I couldn't be happier with the decision to bring him to Las Vegas." Kelly joins the Golden Knights after most recently serving under Gallant with the Florida Panthers organization from 2014-17. In that time Kelly helped guide the Panthers to a record of 120-91-35 and a first-place finish in the NHL Atlantic Division in the 2015-16 season. Prior to working with the Panthers, Kelly spent four seasons with the Saint John Sea Dogs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. There he served as Head Coach and General Manager (2012-14) and Director of Hockey Operations/Associate Head Coach under Gallant (2010-12). He helped lead the Sea Dogs to three first-place finishes, three league final appearances, two QMJHL championships (2011 & 2012) and one Memorial Cup (2011). Prior to working in Quebec, Kelly spent three years with the Vancouver Canucks organization (2005-08) as an assistant coach with both the Canucks and their American Hockey League Affiliate, the Manitoba Moose. At the major junior level, Kelly has experience in both coaching and management with the Brandon Wheat Kings (Western Hockey League), North Bay Centennials (Ontario Hockey League) and Windsor Spitfires (OHL). Internationally, Kelly led Team Canada to a gold medal at the 2003 IIHF World Under-18 Championship as head coach. He was also an assistant on Team Canada's coaching staff at the IIHF World Junior Championship in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Kelly played hockey at the University of New Brunswick in Canada from 1981-86. During his time as a collegiate athlete, he recorded 48 goals and 73 assists for 121 points. The Vegas Golden Knights are a National Hockey League franchise owned and operated by Black Knight Sports and Entertainment LLC. The Vegas Golden Knights were established by founding partners William Foley and his family and the Maloof family.

Crimson-JH Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Maybe I'm looking into this a bit too much... I found this on the Golden Knights's Instagram feed. During the announcement that The D (bummer, it's not Excalibur Hotel and Casino) will be their official Hotel for the VGK. On the jacket they are putting on, it's possible the name and numbers have been leaked. I noticed during the footage, there's a bit of shade of gold outline on the numbers, the name is in white.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The Vegas Golden Knights are currently 5th-7th in the league in ticket revenue for next season, with some fans buying season tickets for up to ten years. “We are number five, six or seven in terms of ticket revenue in the league. That’s how good Las Vegas has been to us,” Bill Foley said. “Edmonton has more revenue in their brand-new arena. The Rangers, Toronto, Chicago Blackhawks, they’re all ahead of us. Montreal is right with us. We have more revenue than the Flyers, Penguins, the Boston Bruins. Most of our tickets are multi-year. The lower bowl is three to ten years.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhdlois Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Single game tickets went on sale today at 2pm PT. I logged on to find that there were only a few wheelchair seats available in 3 sections....that was it. I then checked out Stubhub and Ticket Expert ...... scalpers testing the market. Hoping/thinking that prices will go down after a bit, but will prob go up again closer to game day. (I was looking for the March 20th game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
