Vegas it is: NHL expansion a go

He's talking about the Las Vegas PIGS!

 

How'd they ever play with odd number teams.

Starman's off his meds again.

 

Likely the Black Knights. Owner went to West Point.

 

That's what they taught me in my calculus class at Trump U.

 

Lots of funny jabs here that aren't really funny if you've paid any attention at all to this for the past few years.
The Wranglers, who played at the Orleans Arena for several years and were a successful draw despite not having an affiliation, had to give it up when the Orleans decided not to renew their lease.
T-Mobile Arena was built for a hockey team and Bill Foley, the force behind the city's bid, is a staunch hockey guy. As was finally mentioned above after the snark, the guy is a West Point grad, owns a company called Black Knight Sports and Entertainment, and has said he wants Black Knights to be the name, but will probably have a fan voting contest. The arena was built without the confirmation of a team and is already open for concerts and boxing. Their season-ticket push netted nearly 14,000 deposits for a 17.500-seat venue.
It is right behind the New York New York at The Strip and Tropicana Blvd.

 

Chris is in a neck-and-neck battle with qtlaw for title of most literal and least humorous poster.

 

The only thing that is mathematically impossible is to have all 31 teams playing the same night. Beyond that, you will end up playing division/conference opponents a little less to accommodate the extra team that you have on your schedule, but it isn't impossible. You might have a couple extra back-to-back nights or nights were you have only two games to allow for off days, but it really isn't hard.

 

Lame.

 

Math is hard.

 

When you learned as much by age 10 as Starman did you run out of room in your brain for things like that.

 

Beautiful in its simplicity. "Just play everybody four times."
