JR Ewing Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This could well be a placeholder until they have something else constructed, but what the players will get when they arrive isn't exactly what you'd call high end: "There's even a separate room for players to change out of their street clothes, to keep their personal possessions and hockey gear separate." " The room also will have its own space for players to receive medical attention." https://www.vegasishockey.com/news-detail?recordNum=221 It looks more like a conference room at a Holiday Inn Express than a major league facility.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Well, @JR Ewing , you know, THIS is why Las Vegas got the expansion team over places like Quebec, Seattle, or even Kansas City. No way THOSE places could possibly come up with anything to rival what the team will be getting on the Vegas strip. Especially those Quebecers...seriously..what do THEY know about hockey anyways, eh?

Yes it does. Cheap lino would have been the only thing that could have made it worse. And what about that paint colour? Beige doesn't exactly scream "tough hockey team" Compare and contrast: http://globalnews.ca/news/2941294/put-together-for-the-oilers-to-win-rogers-place-dressing-room-unveiled/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in facilities couldn't be any more stark than that. Oh. And, damn! Gord Steinke is still doing the news on ITV? He must have been there for almost 25 years now.

Yeah, I figured you weren't posting it out of modesty (or whatever you want to call it). When will the Oilers start to earn the lavish treatment they receive?

jammer2 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Well,the facility does indeed suck, but the nightlife will be rock'in. Imagine how many visiting players wives are not to happy at all with the prospects of their rich, athletic husbands hitting the strip? Has anyone invented the casino app yet....it alerts the significant other when the front doors of a Casino are breached. I can see a few hundred of those suckers flying off the shelves. I'm setting the over/under for the first NHL player to be arrested in Vegas at one month....ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
