Kara Yorio of
The Sporting News pushes the notion that
the NHL should head to Sin City forthwith:
This week's All-Star Game in Dallas may have been a dazzling event, but the NHL still should take note of next month's NBA version of the midseason exhibition. Basketball's best will be playing in Las Vegas. It's a big step, and some say it means the NBA will put a franchise there someday.
The NHL should beat the NBA to it.
Yorio goes on to suggest that there's jackpot waiting in Vegas for the NHL:
So end the hypocrisy, start the hype. It would mean money and exposure and even some new fans.
[ . . . ]
The NHL once went west in search of new fans and riches. Go again. Follow the bright lights and stop short of the coast. Move the next relocating team to Vegas. Odds are, it'll pay off big.
While her idea makes sense in theory, I just can't see it happening. At least not while the current,
dinosaur-esque Board of Governors are still around.
