I already go to Vegas twice a year, I will be making alot more trips in the future. I don't see how people think this franchise will fail. Vegas will have a constant flow of people going to that arena. I haven't been this excited in a LONG time. I'm stoked. I'm already planning on going to the 1st ever game in Vegas next October I agree. Just imagine leaving BC on a nasty day, 2 hours later rolling into Vegas. Drinking at the pool/casino all day, getting a nice dinner, WALKING to the rink and killing a few beers in hand on the way, going to the game and betting on hockey. AWESOME.

I'm already planning on going to the 1st ever game in Vegas next October A franchise has to be able to survive more than just the initial hype. And I don't think it can only survive on visitor ticket sales. If they market it right I'm sure it can be a viable franchise. However we've seen NHL teams mismanaged and left for dead before. From everything I've heard from Bettman though it sounds like he'll do everything to make sure this team succeeds, even if it's at the expense of other franchises.

Get over yourself. People like you are just looking for the dumbest reasons such as a name, colors, logo etc. to bash it and hoping it becomes a failure. When in reality, you people even thought there was no chance in hell Las Vegas would even get a hockey team. Pretty clear to me, who the real failures are... I literally explained how it was a failure. It's not my fault you can't accept the reality of it. There's a good reason that city hasn't had major sports teams ( USFL, XFL and CFL teams don't really count). You did get one thing right: I want this to fail. Horribly. I want Gary Bettman to crash with it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they people who live in Vegas are screaming to call something their team. Add that plus corporate seats. I figure they will get 2000 plus Canadians every night looking to party. Like I said not being from Vancouver I'll never watch a live game in Vancouver again. I'll go to 5-10 a year in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neko Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 They will lose a lot of games, especially if they end up with Marc-Andre Fleury in goal like Craig Button seems to think will happen. I read somewhere that they may pick Varlamov. 31 minutes ago, CanuckGAME said: I love the new logo. I already go to Vegas twice a year, I will be making alot more trips in the future.

I'm already planning on going to the 1st ever game in Vegas next October I used to go once a year but I need to renew my passport, might be cheaper going to a game there than here. I honestly don't think this franchise will last very long on its own funds and the novelty will wear off in a couple years, casual fans doesn't keep teams afloat- just ask any professional or semi-pro team that has been in LV.

That means once a year for Eastern Canadian teams, and 3 times for Western Canadian teams. Somehow I doubt most people from Canada visiting Vegas are gonna wanna watch a Coyotes-Knights game or a Kings-Knights game just for the hell of it. If they can tap into the California markets and get their fans to travel there and fill their arena they might have something. I'm not sure how long the allure of traveling to Vegas just to watch a game will last though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a woody reading that. See you in Vegas next year bud. I will be walking to the arena from the Mirage in flip flops, with my Canucks jersey on, with a nice frosty beer in my hand.

For anybody who doesn't get that joke, type "golden shower" on your favourite porn site's search bar. Fair warning though, you will never be able to unsee what comes up. *edit* @luckylagerjust told me that @BananaMash beat me to the joke. It's okay, I stole the joke too.

Hopefully their locker rooms have improved from the photos we saw a while back or there's not much going for them. It's under trademark law that names can be registered and held.

Fateless Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Should have been the Desert Knights. Or really anything other than Golden Knights. Too many words for a sports team, sounds awful. The logo is fine, but quite frankly that is now the worst team name in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised more people didn't hear about it on sports radio talk or shows. Trademark makes more sense than a copyright, but even then. I can see trademarking the logo, but the name? Copyright definitely doesn't fit though, apart from a style of advertising, like in a campaign or something. 40 minutes ago, The Lock said: It's under trademark law that names can be registered and held.

cripplereh Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 that is just stupid as the BC lions and in the states Detroit Lions so that is just crap that a team can stop a name from being used unless it is the same league you can only copy write a name in a league not for the entire sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
