    So Vegas definitely getting a team.
    i have mixed feelings on this. another hockey team in the desert seems overkill, and i question whether it can build up enough of a local fanbase.
    it could work tho i guess, and would rather hockey than football in Vegas (Raiders).

    Article makes some good points about naming/colors/logo.
    personally i don't think they should market the team after the casino biz.
    maybe something local which is pre-casino. like Scorpions or Outlaws.
    colors black and gold like the Saints, with gold helmets (gold being a subtle nod to casinos).

    What do you think?

    Of all the sports to get the first crack at Vegas it's hockey? I predict relocation to Quebec City when all is said and done.

    I've heard 'Black Knights' kicked around as a team name. Pretty gross.
