The video is on 13/nhl network, but not shown on other channels.
Are you saying that the other broadcast stations aren't showing this on the broadcast locally?

If so, is this Scripps beef? Because this should be on all local broadcast stations.

Feels like they realized the players were too drunk for too many speeches and went to the grand finale. :laugh:

Much shorter/less speeches than the Blackhawks Stanley Cup victory parades I've witnessed.
These boys are hammered.

I still have a home there, but I'm visiting it less and less. I'll always be Vegas though. That is my home.
I miss the city, but there's a lot of stuff about it I don't miss.
You grew up there, so it's definitely your home. I lived there for 10 years but it never felt like home.... honestly I don't miss much about it at all other than the friends I made along the way & the natural scenery of the Southwest.

Southwest scenery can eat my ass. I miss the friends I had and the cheap, amazing food.
Vegas people, you don't realize what you have. You can get anything from anywhere at some local restaurant. I can get the best Armenian kebab in great quantities and massive sides that taste amazing washed down with a Baltika for like $20 in Vegas. Here, I'm stuck with a half as good kebab for $30, with no sides and an argument about how Baltika shouldn't be enjoyed because it's Russian.

It's so f***ing wack.
No Mexican food, no Eastern European food, nothing good except seafood and Asian food (which is good and plentiful here, for the most part.)

I seriously think even small places there benefit from having the big casinos making the supplier connections and that trickling down to the local spots.
Vegas is an amazing food city and you won't realize it until you're somewhere else.
One of the biggest things I miss other than the friends, neighbors, and general Vegas comradery.

And don't even get me started about the random local niche spots.

Rincon de Buenos Aires for Argentinian and Quilmes beer.
Shish Kebab House for Armenian food and Russian beer.
Lotus of Siam for Thai food and Thai beer.
All cheap af and better than anything in the supposedly better city of Seattle.

Visit those places and give them your money, please.

I'm obviously originally from NYC, & I've been in your shoes when I moved to California, then Vegas. I never realized how spoiled us NYers were with all of our food options. I totally get why you feel so passionate about it because the Vegas food is as diverse as L.A. & almost rivals Queens. Fortunately here in Connecticut I'm close enough to NYC & Boston that we have all the options that both have to offer without dealing with the hassles.

Personally, other than Mexican, I found Vegas food to be all over the map. Off the strip choices are plentiful but wildly inconsistent. Strip restaurants were all second rate, ersatz copies of places around the country that absentee Celebrity Chefs were glad to get paid to put their name out front. In my experience, Esthers Kitchen, Herbs & Rye & Good Pie were three places that NEVER disappointed.

Won't argue with you about Seattle's food scene...have only been there twice & was unimpressed other than the seafood. I recall having good Sushi.

Seafood and Asian food in general here are top notch.
Everything else stinks, and getting international beers that actually match the food is a joke.

Vegas is one of those places where you need to find the (local) places that can deliver a good product using the resources they have based on the fact that there's the infrastructure to provide it. There's nobody here providing so much prime steak that a local hole in the wall locals spot like Herbs and Rye can get it at a reasonable price. For the most part, they'd be one of the 10 places in town serving it. Versus Vegas or NY where there's some big players in town bringing it in and adding an extra 100 lbs to the order for them doesn't matter. That doesn't happen here.

It's mostly visible in international macro beer, though.

In Vegas, there's a distributor for almost every macro beer from any country. That's not a real thing here, and I think it's important.

If I'm eating Dominican food, I'd like to drink a Presidente while doing so. Not possible in places like Tucson, Wichita, Seattle. In Vegas (and I assume NY) it's just normal. They're bringing it in anyway, so it's going to show up in the local spots.

Seafood here is great though. Mexican/Latin food is fine if you travel outside of the city to where the Mexicans and Latinos are, but you'll slug it down with a Corona.

As alumni, I was happy to see UNLV hockey getting some love. The guys behind that program have been working their asses off for years to get that program to where it is now and on the brink of going NCAA division 1. Hockey has been great the past two years. Karlsson’s speech was hilarious.
