Having a team in Las Vegas is just a bad idea in every sense.

Serious question, so if you're a player in the NHL, are you allowed to go to a sports book in a casino and bet on your team? Its legal to bet on sports in Las Vegas....

- kindlyrick



What the sportsbooks will do is eliminate any betting on the Las Vegas team or eliminate the hockey betting period.

During NCAA BB, you can't bet on UNLV in any game in Vegas.

*The Flyers are being very aggressive I am told, especially when talking to other teams around the NHL


So they arent aggressive when talking to teams in the KHL? What about the AHL

Howard is useless and his contract stinks !! No chance he's moved unless major salary is retained. It's going to be painful in Detroit this year !! The run ends unfortunately.

One such option may be Jimmy Howard who the Red Wings are looking to move. Howard is a great option

NO! Next...

johnny burns to calgary for Engelland and a second .bernier is not worth a second but with Engelland as a dump he is . would only cost flames around a million . then they sign Montoya as a backup .they can be waiting for other goalies to be dumped at the trade deadline for a longterm option

Do Indian Gaming locations have sports books? I didn't think so. I know the Jersey Casinos only do horse racing currently as there is a US law about sports gaming only allowed in Nevada, Delaware, Montana and Oregon.
- dragonoffrost


You're referring to a law from 1991 known as PASPA. This covers land based wagering, and it's largely known that it wouldn't (and doesn't) stand up against challenges from online sports betting, especially because most of those sites are themselves based in Nevada, yet you can access them for most states as long as the state doesn't have specific laws prohibiting it....and few do.

Remove Engelland and put in Wideman and I'll think about it.

If its Hall they're going after it'd take much more than Samheim, maybe him and Simmonds gets the conversation started, but they're looking for high end defense, and we don't have much of that to offer, Provorov could fit the bill, but I can't see them putting him on the table, and I would be extremely pissed if they did.

HUH ? That's just insane. Simmonds and SANHEIM, Not Samheim or Sandheim but SANHEIM, for Hall ? Not a chance in he11 I do that if i'm Hexy.

I can't wait to see Pittsburgh just completely price themselves out the market with Fleury.

It's not like the expansion draft is happening tomorrow. Still lots of time. There are worse issues than having two #1 goalies

Nor do I, but the point is, you're not getting Hall for cheap, Edmonton would have no issue keeping him. That's probably a deal that neither Hexy or Chiarelli would do. Also I'm SORRY about the hitting the wrong button on my keyboard can you please forgive me?

BTW its I'm, not i'm.

Some of the streets are a mess, and expect some bent wheels from the potholes, but a lot of the city is quite nice, especially the Harbor. My guess is you have never been there, or not in the last 5 yrs.

It also is a great hockey town, and very close to Canada. Once the team is competitive they will have no issues with ppl wanting to play there. And they quite well might be pretty good this year too, and will be for the forseeable future.

The only good thing about Tampa is that they birthed Death Metal, the strip clubs, St. Pete and Ybor City.

I hear Winnipeg is just a pit. You won't even find the countryside part.
