    Yeah definitely a classy thing to do. I cant believe how good this team is this year. It's gotta be the best expansion team's first year ever in any sport.

    It really is. I understand people died, but it's not like any of them were children. They were all adults.

    i dont know about that spin, theres no words for what a tragedy it was

    but they were busy congratulating people way too soon, and the hockey angle i could give a shit about that just corporate trash up at the arena thats what pro sports in vegas is about

    Not a classy move - just a PR stunt. There were 171 other murders besides those 58. VGK don't care about them? Oh that's right - they won't get any positive press for honoring the other nameless 171.

    Only famous players to wear a #58 were in football anyway. It's not like it's a number that'll mean anything sports wise.

    pr move

    if you dont want to be accused of using a tragedy for pr, do something meaningful

    like drop sponsors that sell guns, and have your stars create pro gun control advocacy ads

    They're already setting the scene for this. If Las Vegas does well in the playoffs, the media will start talking about how the Knights are doing this for the victims of the tragedy. That'll keep the gun control talk winds continuing to be flamed. I can see ESPN now. They hardly ever talk about hockey at all, but if Vegas wins a couple of series, they will start the talk of how they are doing this to heal the community. They'll probably then lead into some of the victim's families talking about how we must ban some or all guns.

    They will probably need to have an over/under on how many times NBC shows the #58 banner during each game.

    Exactly. Maybe they should just retire the number 1,100,000 to honor all the americans who died in war.

    Whoever they play don't you think a series price of +300 is tempting.

    Team overachieved all year but are ripe for a first round exit no???

    I've been a huge Vegas Knights fan for a few years now. Glad to see them finally make the playoffs.
    Hope they can make the Grey Cup this year.

    FWIW



    At the rate of mass murders in the Exited States, I think there would be no numbers left if all teams followed suit!

    The Knights are a new team and have amazed, let's cut 'em some slack on this one.

    We were checking out the Park near NY NY a few weeks ago and all these ppl with hockey jerseys started mobbing us. Game just got out, totally forgot there was a hockey team in Vegas. Really good for an expansion team... 500-1 odds to start the year to win the cup, now at 7-1 I think.

    One of the great stories in sports. Can't wait for the playoffs. Tremendous amount of parity in the league, regular season and post season. Unlike the NBA where, wow, the anointed 2 teams has expanded to 6, maybe. Congrats.
