showing up yet? it was on this day five months ago las vegas's dream of a professional sports franchise came true. tonight at 5:30pm, owner bill foley, general manager george mcphee and nhl commissioner gary bettman will unveil our team name & logo. foley has done a great job of keeping the am name secret but here are some of the names that have been circling around the internet. las vegas black knights las vegas golden knights las vegas silver knights las vegas desert knights or my favorite las vegas "fox5 news with dave, maria, cassandra, ken, mike, peter & alyssa" knights anything name is possible. it makes sense to me, silver and the silver state. it's just a guess, but that's my guess. a curveball is possible. i think it's one of the three. what does that

we'll just have to wait and see. foley and his team are expecting a huge crowd here at the toshiba plaza outside the t- mobile arena. live entertainment, activities for the kids, youth hockey players skating on an outdoor rink and appearances by former nhl players. and of course merchandise being sold at the official team store. hats, shirts, pucks everything except jerseys. apparently adidas is taking over as the official nhl supplier from reebok and jerseys won't be available until next year. but 5:30pm is when we'll know our team name and 5:31 is when hockey fans around the world will take to the internet to pledge their love or hatred of it.
