A place called...
Dagobar.
Okay?
So it was a notorious... Like Dagobah?
Like the place where Yoda lived and the Empire Strikes Back?
D-A-G-O-B-A-R.
Dagobar.
A legendary place.
And NHLers would go there.
Okay?
The night before they would play the Nordiques.
And this was like debauchery central in Quebec City.
Okay?
And they always considered it.
They considered... It's called Chez Dagobar.
And they considered it their sixth player.
Or seventh if you include the Golden...
because guys would go there and they'd be weak need to play the next day.
I always thought from day one that Vegas would appeal to the schedule maker and book Sunday afternoon games for guys that fly in Saturday, go out, enjoy Vegas on a Saturday night and then have to play the next day.
Not at night, but in the afternoon, let the city be your sixth player.
