We can all only wish. I doubt I would even tune back into 1040 in the mornings anymore though, 1410 now has ESPN's Mike and Mike on in the AM slot, way more informative, better guests and more entertaining, especially since my favorite leagues are NFL and NCAA football.
Some Euro leagues have the teams top scorer wear a different color jersey or helmet so he stands out to the fans, crazy Euros.
Example of a top scorer jersey
Example of top scorer helmet
goddam, euro jerseys are ugly as fuck...so polluted with garbage adverisements, it's like a 17 year old's attempt to stickerbomb their car
i didn't even know Don Taylor was let go by SN until I saw that post earlier...i was wondering why they had a bunch of no name scrubs doing Connected all summer, I just thought he was on vacation or something
Instead of cutting a few of the struggling teams that have shown they aren't hockey markets, lets expand the league, and make Las Vegas one of the new cities. And lets continue to demand the players be the ones to have to make salary sacrifices rather than the league show some financial responsibility at the next CBA because that makes more sense :sarcasm
Ads are coming. I'm sure of it but I don't understand why they have to slap them on there like afterthoughts. Look at soccer jerseys. They're almost designed around the sponsor and they look great.
^ No thanks. Keep that garbage away.
Only the reason why I dont buy soccer jerseys.
Lets be a walking billboard for Bell. Support their oligopoly company.
yeah...theres too much value on the hockey 'sweater' in traditional markets
lets leave that
just put a little logo like they do on practive jerseys. its prominent enough

Las Vegas might do a lot better than the other weaker markets.
Just think how many Canadians fly there during winter?
Stag trips. Corporate events.
I would love to fly down there. Watch a game. Go gamble. Strip clubs. And drink throughout the night.
people in vegas dont think they can support an nhl team, even with tourists. they would prefer a cheaper option like the mls, which could be popular with the mexican population. Is it finally Las Vegas? time to get a major pro sports team? - Las Vegas Sun News
yet, as mgm is building the arena, id think they have no problem paying for a team, then filling the arena with events on the side. + possibly a basketball team in the future.
if the league goes to 34 teams, playoffs would more than likely have to be restructured, as youd have another 4 teams missing the playoffs. with too many teams missing, theres going to be problems with revenue.

What would you prefer? Jersey with corporate sponsorship or a New Orleans Pelican jersey?
Aw yeah, that's good news for Seattle and the Canucks! We have a northwest rival now. -good chance that tickets to watch the Seattle hockey games would be cheaper than Canucks tickets.
-another reason to go to Seattle besides the Seahawks.
Methinks the Las Vegas team is gonna win a lot of home games.

It's funny how Pratt always goes on about how bettman is just about the money and he'll damage the league in order to get expansion fee's etc yet right now the NHL has never been stronger in it's history. For Bettmans faults he's made enough good moves along the way to get the game where it is today.

Imagine a weekend game in Vegas (or any day) and the Canucks are in town..oh man..... depends how much tix will be but I'd rather fly to vegas to watch lol then party
It would be such an uncertain market for a city to rely on tourists and at-the-gate sales over season ticket holders.
With gambling playing such a major role in Las Vegas, the integrity of the team and the sport would be put into question with the possibility of match-fixing.
There is a reason why other major sports leagues haven't put a team in Las Vegas and perhaps the NHL should consider why that is.
I do remember the CFL expantion Las Vegas Posse and what a joke they were. There are a number of people south of the border who see the NHL as small time and not much above the mickey mouse CFL. Changing that perception in LV won't be easy.
Willie Mitchell's turn with the cup, all kinds of awesome

Islanders and Panthers (easy swap to Quebec City staying in same division) are probably teams being relocated while Las Vegas and Toronto gets expansion teams
