Apparently they purposely avoided using it in order to avoid any issues (which probably now seems like a wasted effort): http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/golden-knights-trademark-rejected-but-vegas-believes-everything-will-be-fine
This article talks about it a bit: http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/golden-knights-trademark-rejected-but-vegas-believes-everything-will-be-fine
They weren’t allowed to use Knights because of the OHL’s London Knights. I wanted “Aces” like another commenter mentioned. So much to work with and they went with “Golden Knights”... :/
I worded that wrong - I meant other countries’ professional leagues, like the KHL, Swedish league, etc., can send players, regardless of for whom those players play, unlike the NHL.
It IS fascinating, I agree. I mean, I’m used to it, but once in a while I’ll remember how kinda neat it is. I should be clear, though - when I say you can speak English in Montreal, I mean ONLY Montreal. Not that absolutely NO ONE will speak English for you in the rest of the province, but chances are good they won’t,…
Can’t have Boychuk, it would interfere with his tweeting 2/3 of the planet. Really thought McClement had a chance. Wish Makar had accepted the invitation, but I get it. A few of these guys have been part of the 3-peat Spengler Cups, & Chris Lee was...OK at the Worlds. I can’t imagine winning gold vs other teams who…

Incredible how many chances this thumb looking fucker gets.
Your hat sounds like a very nice hat.
Your assessment is pretty spot on. And if you’re ever up here again, definitely work Montreal into your schedule. You don’t have to speak/understand French (although don’t be shy about saying “bonjour” and “merci”), there is soooo much to do, and Old Montreal is gorgeous. I haven’t been there in 7 years, but it’s…
Not a Winnipegger, but was going to say the same thing about it being on many players’ no trade list, & no fun list, but I didn’t want to seem like I was trying to insult Winnipeg, because I’m not; it’s just most Canadian hockey fans have heard that from players for years. For what it’s worth, I’m from Hamilton, a…
“Ottawans and Edmontonians have the good humour about themselves”
Loved him on Coach. Also loved him on anything he popped up on, because he always just naturally made whatever it was funnier. Rest in peace, Jerry.
I truly didn’t know why, so thank you. Makes it even funnier now, lol.
Not sure why the one guy brought the grammar sign, but I bet he feels so much better now.
