How the Vegas Golden Knights’ bunch of bad ideas became a miracle in the desert

Canadian pundit concludes that McPhee and VGK were lucky.

They disabled comments but they did absolutely no research on this article. It is pitiful.

A lot of it felt like it was tongue in cheek to me.

Maybe some tongue-in-cheek, but the writer comes off as a bit of an ass.

And agree about the research. For example, Wranglers folded not because of lack of interest but because they had no place to play after getting axed from the Orleans. Wranglers had decent support for an ECHL team in a city with endless entertainment options.

"The Vegas Golden Knights were the result of a bunch of bad ideas.

The first was expanding, again, in a southwesterly direction. The second was choosing, again, to plant a flag in a desert."

That's as far as I got.

From Friedman's 31 thoughts:

Speaking of Vegas, one executive compared them to Leicester City — which stunningly won the English Premier League out of nowhere in 2016. Thought that was pretty good.

Team effort: More Las Vegas sports means more sports doctors

Now Las Vegas is the place to be for sports doctors, too. The new teams have increased the demand for physicians specializing in sports medicine to help not only treat injuries, but to prevent injury and keep athletes performing at an elite level.
Doctor Michael Gunter has been a part of Las Vegas’ sports medicine scene for 20 years. He has been the team physician with the Las Vegas 51s for more than 15 years and also works as team physician with the Golden Knights.

Yep. All you need is an MD, and a cv that indicates experience specializing in sports medicine!

Interesting. Never heard of him. Thank the hockey gods he was their pro scout and wasn’t Montreal’s amateur scout haha.

Pacific All Stars: Neal, Fleury

I'm surprised at Fleury, since he was out so long. Also surprised at Neal over Marche or Karlsson.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Chosen more for names than merit. But that's the way it goes.

VGK plays Carolina 1/21. Prescout.

Could be looking for trade too.

So this is something pretty cool that came out of the Raiders negotiation today.



While we love our pro sports now, Northern Nevada might not care and we're eventually going to wind up like California with the great Californian migration of the past few decades, there's now a financial reason for the Stadium Authority and the LVCVA to fight any fan taxes or jock taxes.

This is a good thing.

 

[LadyStanley]

**** cancer. Godspeed, Pierre.

...we're eventually going to wind up like California with the great Californian migration of the past few decades...

God have mercy on us.

Please.
