Vegas Golden Knights trademark denied by U.S. government: bit.ly/2gfdetC

whoops...

Two weeks after revealing their name and logo, a trademark request filed by the NHL on behalf of the Golden Knights was denied by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

I cant believe how much trouble they are having. I dont really like the name but there are plenty of teams that share names: Bruins, Hurricanes, Lions, Panthers etc.

Drinking tea and being cool are not a good mix

"Foley originally intended to use the name Black Knights, but received pushback from his alma mater, the United States Military Academy, because that is the nickname used by the academy’s sports teams."

So... Instead of getting permission to use a much better name from 1 team, they picked a worse name that conflicted with numerous

Here are some of the quotes

Auston Matthews is destined to anchor a franchise. Patrik Laine will lift one.

Matthews is a franchise centre to build around. Laine is a virtuoso capable of hitting notes we don’t yet know exist.

To this point, Laine has shown he can elevate to a place Matthews may not be able to reach. Matthews has been a four-star player – literally with a historic four-goal debut and metaphorically – but Laine has shown us moments of five-star excellence. There’s no reason to believe we won’t consistently be awed by Laine’s abilities and achievements. Matthews can do a lot. Laine can do more.

Only if you post it in the Leafs thread. Maybe NuckFU will share that with them.

I think you will get laughter, more than banning.

Leafs fans who watch Matthews night in, night out wouldn't re-do that pick. He is playing center with 2 rookies on his line. Laine is playing wing with 2 all-stars on his line.

Don't get me wrong, Laine looks to be a fantastic talent. He is living up to the Ovechkin comparisons so far.

Matthews is what the Leafs needed though and he is not disappointing. So, whatever people may conclude from watching them, The Leafs made the pick they should have made and I don't think any of us are disappointed

I get your enjoyment, as short-sighted and strange as it is, but where is the Canucks prospect that is even in the discussion with either of them?

The only thing I can say to this is who has more cups? Rocket Richard winners or Conn Smythe winners?

I'm just happy that Winnipeg got the best player of the draft rather than Toronto. I like Winnipeg

i get your enjoyment in the rebuild of the canucks as strange and canucks obsessed as it is, but what does that have to do with a comparison between laine and matthews?

I would be absolutely beside myself with EITHER of those kids. They're both fantastic players already, one is 18 and one is 19, personally I'm extremely jealous.

absolutely. they are both gonna be good. the debate is which one will be better. too early to tell but the jets may actually have won the lottery.

What ever happened to trades? It's become endangered.

They won the lottery as soon as they moved up all those spots in the draft. All the joy of a franchise player without so much tanking

Honestly Winnipeg and Ottawa are the only other canadian teams I cheer for to do well. I don't mind Edmonton since they're geographically the closest team to me and I have family and friends who like the Oilers. But the rest of them
