Gameday has been on less than 5 minutes, and Gritty has already been spotted:

yessss awesome stuff, good find. Thanks for sharing.

My Red Wings will be in for another rough year I predict, but I'm hoping they keep the roster young and let some of these kids play and get better.

Then, after Steve Y leaves the Bolts after this season, he returns to the Motor City, aka (more like f/k/a), HOCKEYTOWN, to restore this great franchise and return us to the glory of Ol' Stanley.

One of the most memorable moments in NHL history for me. Everyone else in my family are Ducks fans so,...

This has been relived a bunch here lately as he just had his number retired by the Ducks. Crazy to think he claims he doesn't remember anything after the hit for like three or four days... just a complete memory loss of the goal, the win, game 7 and a day or two afterwards... yikes.

Icons were a package purchase from like ten years ago,... I honestly don’t think they can be updated.

Wow. Q out in Chicago.

Color me shocked re: the timing. But this was beginning to reek of 2017-18 all over again. A promising start done in by Q's stagnant changes that proved to generally ineffective.

Wonder how Chicago is receiving this news.

Since moving to Vegas I've taken an interest in the Golden Knights. Tickets are ridiculously expensive though so I haven't yet been to a game.

Have you taken to the secondary aps like Gametime?? I swear by it. I was never comfortable paying the prices for lower tier, behind the dugout, seats at Angel Stadium... I get them on Gametime all the time now for a fraction of what they usually go for. You just wait until the day of the game.... been to a couple Ducks games for cheap also. I see concert tickets and such too on there. Hopefully that helps.

Never heard of it, I'll check it out.

Checked it, they're still spendy (91 bucks for the cheapest seats). The difference I guess is that Las Vegas is not a real city with deeply rooted fans or residents. VGK games are viewed as one entertainment option competing against many other entertainment options, it's an event, not a community gathering. The team is competing against the Strip and all of those events so the competition drives the ticket prices high because they are still a novelty to the city.

Did you check for a game that is happening TODAY?? The prices are pretty standard in advance... but drop as the game nears... every once in a while I can get discount tickets a week or more in advance but that's rare. It's usually a day of game thing, it works well in my experience, but it could be different for Vegas, who knows... If anything I would assume it'd work better... like one of those day of discount show tickets booths on the strip, it's like part of Vegas' culture to give away shit at the last second.

Knights experiencing a bit of dip from last year but still on track to make the playoffs.

By the way, can we get a Golden Knights icon on the store?

It doesn't exist in a 10 year old version of vBulletin.

It wouldn't be just creating an art asset and dropping it in a folder. The vBulletin code that runs the site would have to hacked to support it. A trivial thing for a developer, sure, but quite an ask of those that are not.
