I'd like to see Disney Television Animation produce an animated series with Chance the Gila Monster and a knight based on the Golden Knights logo as the lead characters. It would be a joint production with the Knights and the league themselves, with NHL Enterprises owning the underlying international rights and selling the show's distribution rights on a country-by-country basis.

Overall, each of the big 4 leagues should invest into producing scripted TV programming based around themselves.

Isn't it faster to get to the Tropicana from the 215 and getting off on West Tropicana, make an immediate right turn and you're a block away.

It's actually about 2.5 miles from I215 to the Trop via LVB.

Yes, you could take the frontage roads if coming north from I215/CC215.
