Clearly what the league needs is more teams in the desert.

Could have stopped after 'teams', IMO.

Probably. Plus, to promote the game, let's not go to the Olympics.

No thanks to going to SK. I wonder if Kim will ramp up the rocket/bomb testing during the olympics.

If this is true, it makes me feel better about the horrible collar from the Oilers leak. Still the same style, but doesn't look as bad when it's the same color as the body.

Official reveal scheduled for 5-8 pm PT today.

If we go by team sub reddit subscribers, Vegas has 3,071 while Arizona has 2,710. The team with the least amount of subscribers? Florida Panthers at 2,637.

Is "golden knights" the worst name in sports?

Pretty sure it is

"Pelicans"

Next question.

Penguins
*pic deleted because I didn't want to see Trump again*

Now it's hard to imagine the team being called anything else, but imagine first hearing this name in 1966 or 67. Must've sounded like a **** joke.

Actually the silliness of it was covered in the 50 years doc

All 3 of those names are a million times better

Jazz is an awesome name for a team in New Orleans. Utah, on the other hand...

I don't think Godric is gonna agree with that either...

This just looks awful.

Suits of armor usually do look rather pathetic. Sure, some look cool, but most at museums and such look small and lame.

Certainly not on the backseat of his Uber car.

This one in particular just looks bad. For starters, it's a slim body with Tie Domi's friggin' buckethead.

I love expansion teams. You can bet they'll find new and exciting ways to embarrass themselves. I'm hoping for an on-ice joust prior to their first game.

Take that and add in the cheesy expansion feel of this and I think we have something:

Dear god, if you didn't post a video of this, I'd have never believed it had happened. That is cringe worthy, and I only made it through the first two minutes.
