Everybody knows Las Vegas, but the only thing that really represented the city was the strip.

And as a local, that doesn't really feel like it represents you.

You don't have anything like a shirt that you can wear when you go to another city to show, to rep your town.

I think there is a massive massive part of this that because the golden Knights were first, they were the first team that ever represented this city in a, in a major pro sports league that has bought them a lot of goodwill.

The fact that they've won a bunch has built this fan base and built it strong.

However, it's going to be interesting to see how things go when they do go through some lean years.

It's sports.

With the salary cap era, they will undoubtedly go through some lean years, and it'll be interesting to see how strong the fan base stays.

We've seen fan bases in Buffalo that are selling out the building, and it's packed every night no matter how bad the team was.

I don't know if that'll be the case in Vegas.

We'll just have to see.

I don't think they have a choice.

They never used some killing penalties before until recently because they didn't want to block shots.

I remember talking about that in Vancouver and again in Toronto.

But the fact of the matter is, McKinnon's got to block that shot five on five if he gets a chance.

He's got to turn his legs properly, though.

You can't be, you've got to face the laces after the out.

You've got to have your hands pointed back, the back of your gloves going.

I don't think the technique is perfect.

I thought of the same thing.
