Is The NHL Heading To Vegas...? It May Be Being Shot As We Write...

((HT: VegasChatter))

This isn't the first time that the HQ has floated this story, but the idea is that the WorldWideLeader is already looking at the story and may be shooting a "30 for 30" with the Maloof Brothers.

Without an arena and a team...

But...

Vegas Chatter is saying that the "Birth of a Franchise" story is already being shot with the development of the new AEG arena front and center. The arena, set for opening in spring of 2016, would be the apparent home for a new sports franchise- when its completed.

Two weeks ago, NHL Number Two Bill Daly was asked about Vegas by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

Las Vegas is intriguing, Daly admits. In fact, out of curiosity, Daly queried a bunch of service industry folks — bartenders, waiters, drink servers, dealers, pit bosses — last weekend about whether they felt a professional sports team could thrive there.

“I got a variety of different responses,” Daly said. “The demographics of the market are pretty good in terms of average annual income. Las Vegas natives earn good salaries, good livings. I think they genuinely like sports. It’s a nighttime city, so it would have to be uniquely scheduled in terms of focusing maybe on industry nights as opposed to your typical Thursday-Saturday nights where everybody would be working.

NESN's "The Instigators" think Seattle and Quebec City are better ideas...

Oh, this is fantastic.

Most of us sports fans have seen at least one and in many cases quite a few of ESPN's lauded "30 for 30" series.

The promo--the deep, staccato bass voice, all too familiar: "What if..._____"

Well...what if someone wanted to do a "30 for 30" on former NBA role player Brian Scalabrine?

If you are unfamiliar, Scalabrine carved out a nice NBA career for himself as an occasional bench player and for the Boston Celtic, New Jersey Nets and others a fan favorite.
