Yes, his company name is Black Knights as homage to Army Black Knights. So Black Knights makes sense in that regard plus Vegas has some military connections. But if its not Black Knights, then "Knights" makes little sense. I wonder why Black Knights was rejected...unless the Army itself had an issue with its use.

Yeah...I dont mind that I guess. if it was just "Knights" as a play on the "Nights" but giving it a clunky second word sort of removes the double meaning. I guess people would call them the Snites without the first word. That will be their nick name, the S'nites. Its a shame the NHL wouldnt allow any play on gambling for the name since that's Vegas' major claim to fame. Las Vegas Mobsters? lol
Atomic Posted September 23, 2016 Report Posted September 23, 2016 4 hours ago, The Unknown Poster said: Foley announced earlier this month the team will be called the Silver Knights, Desert Knights, or Golden Knights. Of those three and "Black Knights", they eliminated the best one. What does "Knights" have to do with Las Vegas? Golden Knights is the best one! Noeller 1
Goalie Posted September 24, 2016 Report Posted September 24, 2016 Personally I really don't care what they call the team. With that said tho... if it was me and I was starting a team in the nhl... and I was in a 2 worded city... Las Vegas Los Angeles San Francisco etc... The last name of my team would not be 2 worded. It's just a little 2 wordy for my liking. Knights works. Las Vegas Knights. Sounds good. Why go with the 2 worded last name when you are a 2 worded city. Just sounds so stupid
FrostyWinnipeg Posted September 24, 2016 Report Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Bandits Get it? One-armed bandits. Las Vegas Sin...a rare team name not ending in an s. Edited September 24, 2016 by FrostyWinnipeg

FrostyWinnipeg Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 NHL defenceman Barret Jackman retired Tuesday after signing a one-day contract with the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis drafted the Trail, B.C., native 17th overall in 1999 after four standout years with the WHL's Regina Pats.

bigg jay Posted October 5, 2016 Report Posted October 5, 2016 He's the youngest captain in league history so there's a record right there. I would assume 45 games is also a record but everyone knew this was coming. Chiarelli basically said as much in the off season & Taylor Hall said he was the leader on the ice by the end of last season.
Rich Posted October 7, 2016 Report Posted October 7, 2016 Wonder if this guy can resurrect his career with a change in scenery. Has to be considered a bust after being drafted 1st overall.

kelownabomberfan Posted October 7, 2016 Report Posted October 7, 2016 Just what St. Louis needed, another soft forward. We'll see if he can find some chemistry with Tarasenko.
Ducky Posted October 8, 2016 Report Posted October 8, 2016 A former 1st overall for a former 4th and a conditional 3rd...what does that say about Yak?
