So, what SHOULD the new Las Vegas team be called?
(It's possible your fearless leader is a tidge biased about this one. :D)

Honestly, I know it's unlikely, but I would love it if they became the Las Vegas Aces (my OMGCP is showing, I know).
Oh that's right, that's where that name comes from! I'd have put it in the poll if I remembered. I just knew that it had been ruled out IRL because the NHL doesn't want any gambling references.
they wouldn't be able to get the rights to it. the alaskan echl team is named the aces.
That's the name I was hoping for too! I legit don't understand what's so bad about gambling-related names :/
Sports and gambling have a very rocky history (most pro sports have very stringent rules about players being involved in gambling -- players are literally banned for life if they get caught). Add to that the fact that sports betting is legal in only four states and the general perception of gambling being morally ambiguous, I imagine the NHL really doesn't want to open that particular can of worms.
I saw a mock-up where 'aces' was linked to fighter pilots, which like YES!!!!!! A. awesome Romantic knights of the air imagery, B. there's a awful lot of air bases out in the desert, no? :D
i for one look forward to the jersey color and design for the las vegas flamingos
Yessss. Same reasoning I used for voting for the neon (yes, despite my user name). :D
The Las Vegas Showgirls
...
A+, dude.
Las Vegas Lights! Las Vegas Kites! Last Vegas... Stromatolites!
And now I know what a stromatolite is. :D
I am a wealth of information of little use. And words that rhyme with Night.
las vegas cutthroats. adding yet another fish to the pacific division, but totally nevada and totally badass.
also fingers crossed for the ahl team being in reno because i've been all about the idea of the reno roadrunners
