/NHL/ "Ladies and Gentlemen, let's hear it for your Las Vegas Aces!" edition...
>>68468721
I thought it was the Black Knights?
>>68468721
Not the Las Vegas Elderly Gambling Addicts?
"Be amazed now as Criss Angel makes the Social Security check of seat...(dramatic pause)...A123!!...disappear!"
Though it would be kind of cool if their big furry mascot was Nicky Santoro.
Why would you waste your time at a furpuck game in Vegas?
That's a pretty dank name.
>>68468721
Aaaaaand they're gone.
I give the team 3 seasons till they are sold off.
>>68468721
What's been confirmed: Las Vegas is getting an NHL expansion franchise. Team would start play at T-Mobile Arena beginning with the 2017-18 season.
What's still undecided: what the franchise's nickname/logo/colors/uniform design will be.
>>68472269
A good portion of that stadium is going to be away fans almost all the time.
>gonna visit Vegas anyway
>might as well make it the week my team plays there
>>68472269
Same reason people waste their time watching horses run around a track
>place bet
>go watch game
>>68472269
Fuck is there to do in Vegas besides gambling? Might as well watch sports.
>>68468721
Give me a small loan over 6 million dollars and I build you an apehoop team called Las Vegas Blackjacks.
>>68472269
Have you ever been to Vegas? It gets boring really fucking fast after 2-3 days of golfing and gambling. That's why no one goes to Vegas for a week like you would Hawaii, Florida or just about any other vacation spot.
>>68474723
>not drinking a cold brew while enjoying the occasional nuclear flash in the distance
>>68468721
>silver and black
Thank god, we needed more black/grey or black/yellow teams. Hey, maybe they could reall up the creativity and do Blue and Yellow?
They need to call themselves the Las Vegas Jokers and broker a partnership with Jokerit so they can use the most badass logo in sports.
>>68474963
They're gonna be red and black.
>>68475068
This
>>68472269
Furpuck games are based as fuck
>>68475068
WHY NOT GREEN AND PURPLE?
>>68475727
Thanks doc
>>68475727
>Las Vegas Gamergaters
Scary and intimidating
>>68468884
"Las Vegas Black Knights" is about the shittiest name ive ever heard since Oklahoma City Thunder actually became a thing
>>68474879
kek
>>68475068
>Ottawa
>Chicago
>Carolina
Thank god, originality at last!
But not original enough, what if they tried some combination of red, white and blue? It would revolutionize the industry!
>>68468721
>There's zero chance that they will be called the Las Vegas Rangers
should be the Pioneers
painfully underrepresented team name
Fingers crossed that they just take the hockey team and run.
>>68476939
us too
>>68477162
>He sided with the NCR.
just one team?
So... When are they going to announce the second expansion team.
The NHL w-wouldn't let there be an odd number of teams r-right? I mean my autism could take it I bet if I try... Fuck they better fucking make it 32 or my head will explode. I'm not strong enough guys...
Finally a team that will make toronto look good.
>mfw las vegas destroys the laffs
>>68477930
The second team is already confirmed. It's another Florida team.
>the Orlando Shotblockers
>>68479079
>mfw Never ever Seattle Metropolitans
>>68477930
>Carolina relocates a team to New Orleans again
>dont have to change the name this time to be fitting

I really cant see this team lasting.
Reno NV here, im excited to actually have a semi-local team to follow. However, If they call the franchise the fucking "black knights" im going to say fuck it and buy a san jose jersey.
