gowlerk 2,198 #1 September 19, 2017 I did not realize that the new NHL franchise in Vegas is called the Golden Knights. This is just wrong. Completely wrong. Both the name, and the fact that a team is going to be located there.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Both the name, and the fact that a team is going to be located there. I agree with that. Why not call the team the Gamblers? The Sharks?

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #4 September 19, 2017 BillyVance***I did not realize that the new NHL franchise in Vegas is called the Golden Knights. This is just wrong. Completely wrong. Both the name, and the fact that a team is going to be located there. I agree with that. Why not call the team the Gamblers? The Sharks? Etc... Both of those are taken. Sharks are NHL in San Jose, Gamblers are USHL in Green Bay. I don't know quite how it works, but I don't think they would want to duplicate a minor league name. NFL is moving the Raiders from Oakland to Las Vegas, why not the NHL? And Golden Knights is just a nickname. Open to anyone who wants to take it. The funny part would be if the NHL franchise sent a "Cease & Desist" letter to the Army."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Apparently they are looking into the legal aspects. http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/vegas-golden-knights-name-being-reviewed-by-the-u-s-army This story is from late last year. I guess they decided it would be allowed. Pity.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
