Vegas is 150 miles away from Death Valley

Let me draw you a line between Vegas and Death Valley in relation to the Sun Belt;

Death Valley-------------------------------------------------------------Vegas

Im not sure why you thought mentioning a place 150 miles away was relevant in discussing Vegas.

They're both located in the Mojave Desert. They're not known for having good ice hockey weather.

Is Vegas considered Sun Belt?

Sun Belt - Wikipedia

as per this yes

 

[Troy McClure]

Kinda a dumb post considering the location didnt determine how good the players were.

But the location does help determine what teams have the money to compete. The Stars are something like 7th in corporatesponsorship dollars. Then have a great TV deal. Their arena is one of the biggest revenue generators in the league. Being in a large and growing market allows the Stars to spend to the cap every season.

Me hopes and thinx that New York Islanders kicks the livin' daylight out of Tampa Bay Lightning.

No point in point why I even think so ...

Dallas Stars vs N.Y Islanders in the NHL Stanley Cup-finals, that is.

A dream come true for me as a Finn - but not for NHL of course.

But who cares?!

 

[Husqvarna]

... and with Dallas Stars as the winner o' the whole NHL-lot of course.

Plenty, plenty of ice and snow ... down under USA.

Jury is still out.

Death Valley is such an interesting place to visit.

Wow look at all these "non-traditional" hockey markets doing so well continuously in the playoffs.

And the Islanders may be in New York, but we are the small market team that doesn't get treated as a large market and has had relocation rumors multiple times. So that's another one to add to the mix

Another weird stat..

If Dallas wins it will be back to back cup wins for interim head coaches, correct? How often has that happened?

 

[HisIceness]

Need a Carolina vs Nashville/Dallas Final and we'll have our first ever "Bible-Belt" Finals.

 

[HisIceness]

Death Valley is such an interesting place to visit.

Yeah but which one is the real Death Valley, Clemson or LSU?

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

I'm rooting for Dallas because:

1. Stars haven't won the Cup since 1999, making their drought longer than that of Tampa Bay's

2. Tampa Bay beat Columbus. I tend to root against teams that do so.
