Vegas Golden Knights Thread

I think the league gave Vegas way too much ,as you can tell, they are close to leading the league for christ sake.

Many other franchises have suffered for year after year without the league helping especially Canadian clubs.

Now we will have Seattle coming into the league,so much for a Canuck Stanley Cup,

or even a Canadian team winning it with the brutal corrupt executives that run this league.All the goodies go to states teams except for the tank team of the NHL,

THE GRETZKY BACKED EDMONTON OILERS.SO MANY FIRST OVERALL PICKS AND THEY STILL SUCK.

 

CANUCKS COULD USE THERE "FIRST EVER" 1st OVERALL PICK ABOUT NOW!

HEAR ME GARY BETTMAN.

The Vegas Golden Knights and the US Army have entered into a trademark coexistence agreement over the use of the “Golden Knights” name.

 

The Army will continue to use the Golden Knights name for their parachute division and Vegas will continue to use it for their hockey team.

Vegas D Schmidt suspended 20 games for violating drug program

Quote

Vegas Golden Knights defenceman Nate Schmidt has been suspended 20 regular season games without pay for violating the terms of the NHL/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program.

Schmidt released a statement on Sunday following the news of the suspension. Here is the full statement.

 

“I am extremely disappointed to learn that I have been suspended for a violation of the NHL/ NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program. The fact that I’m issuing this statement is surreal to me as I have only used supplements provided by my NHL team and I have always been extremely careful about what I put into my body. Throughout my playing career I have been tested numerous times, including twice last season, and I have never before tested positive. It was utterly shocking to be informed that I tested positive for a microscopic amount of a tainted substance. Not only did I not intentionally take a banned substance, I could not have received any performance enhancement benefit from the trace amount that inadvertently got into my system at a level that was far too small to have any effect.  This low amount was consistent with environmental contamination that I could not possibly have prevented. 

One of the experts in environmental contamination who testified on my behalf at the Appeal hearing described the amount of the substance found in my system – 7 billionths of a milligram/mL – as the equivalent of a pinch of salt in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Another expert analyzed a sample of my hair and concluded there was no evidence of intentional use.  The Vegas Golden Knights track players’ strength and performance metrics and my results have remained constant over the past year.

While I support having a strong Performance Enhancing Substances Program in place for our sport, it is difficult to accept this suspension. I understand that I will miss these games, but I do not agree with the suspension and I will not accept being labelled a cheater.  

I have worked my whole life to become an NHL player, and I’m extremely proud to be a player in the NHL. I have never cut corners in order to achieve this goal. I am grateful for the support of the entire Golden Knights organization and I can’t put into words how disappointed I am that I will not be on the ice at the beginning of the season to help my teammates work towards another Stanley Cup run.

I will make no further comment on this matter at this time.”
