    I'll bet the L.V. uniforms will be comically bad.

    Will they have awesome cheerleaders, though?

    (Remember the XFL Cheerleaders? What a stripperpalozza!)

    It will be interesting to see if the NHL can survive in Vegas. I think the first several years will do good because of the novelty of being in Vegas, but then attendance will suffer because of all the other options of entertainment. I don't see this market developing a hardcore fanbase anymore then Phoenix did.

    ^ I'm interested as well because I think primarily the people who go to their games will be tourists. And I don't know what the population of permanent residents of LV is. But I do know that hockey is gaining popularity in the West, it's slow, but growing.

    Why do they insist on stick "desert" in the name. Its stupid and redundant. Take the team away. They failed the first test

    Little over half a million population in the city proper. About 2mil in the metro area, which is bigger than Nashville, Raleigh, & Buffalo.

    excited for the World Cup to start Saturday. Should be fun. Was surprised how hard the US and Canada went at each other in the exhibition.

    I think Vegas is a smart move and wise to be the first on the moon so to speak. I am unsure on Bill Foley's worth though and his willingness to see potential losses for a period of time.

    I think there is a lot of potential with both a local fanbase, as well as travelling fans. I can guarantee I will be there someday soon to see the Sabres.


    The next smart move IMO will be to find a way to beat the NBA back into Seattle

    no one talking about the World Cup? Team North America looked great last night. Young speed. would love to see them get to finals to play Canada.

    I still don't understand why there is a Team North America and a Team Europe, and then Team Countries Within Those Continents.

    Team North America is for age 23 and under only. Team Europe is for players from other European countries whose countries don't have a specific team. Basically they needed more teams to fill out the schedule and that is what they came up with.

    Ahh, gotcha. Thanks! I don't really have any interest in the World Cup so I haven't been following it one bit. Just thought that was an odd setup.

    Watched team North America at a viewing party at our new rink last night...they were unreal. And our new barn is so sick....
    Part of me wants them to play Canada in the final, another part wants them to bomb and go home so Canada doesn't crush McDavid or RNH. They are so crucial to the oil's season, an injury could tank our season before it begins ugh....

    Anyone notice that the acronym they used for team North America during the broadcast was NAT? North America Team? Dafuq? I want TNA :frowning: No immature fun allowed, I guess.

    was switching between the Eagles game and this one. what a great game. last minute was awesome. really hope North America makes it to the next round and can end up getting to finals to play Canada. There is some serious young talent on that roster.

    this US team doesn't have enough scoring. I think Canada wins around 5-2 tonight. i think the US is in trouble even with a win though because of goal differential. i think they are a long shot to move on now.

    Since he plays out in Edmonton, I never really got to see McDavid play much last year but man is he impressive.
    He reminds me of Crosby, great vision/passer but he is faster. Crosby has a stronger lower body, but McDavid has plenty of time to grow still.
    Damn shame my boy Gostisbehere ripped it off the post in the waning seconds last night.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I know Team Canada is the best in the world, but the Team USA should be ashamed of themselves.

    Lets go Team Sweden.
