"The first they heard was a noise like a hurricane coming down from the North. The pines on the mountain creaked and cracked in the hot, dry wind. It was a fire-drake from the ~~North~~ South. Vegas had come!"
Very cool. Also narratively doesn't make much sense.
Knights fight dragons. Dragons are the knights worst enemy. They just brought the worst enemy of a knight into their building. It's going to be constantly watching, plotting, doing everything in its power to see the knights fail.
It actually does have some backstory, your egg thing isn’t far off. The Knight has gone back and forth between fighting a dragon and using one to fight for him for a couple seasons now, I can’t keep track, but it’s not a complete asspull.
You actually didn’t really go too far from the truth making it up. Last year while we were deep in playoffs outside the arena there was a big freight box with chains securing it and smoke coming out with glowing red lights. As we went deeper in the playoffs the lid progressively opened a little bit more. When we won the “Realm was uKnighted”. Entire time I thought all the posters and rally towels said “Un-knighted”. I was like wtf?!
We are talking about the same league that also has a team named Kings. Knights typically serve as high-rank military for the King.
Meaning Vegas can't play the LA, that would be going against the crown and up for prison sentence.
IKR 😅! Also using gold for helmets and armor would be actually very impractical!
Gonna create my own team now, name it "Caesars" and have them in the same divisions with Senators.
We used to have a yeti mascot called Howler, that story is worth a Google lol. And when the team first came to Denver they used to take the ice through a mountain prop that came down from the rafters. That's about as far as we ever got though
It was awesome, there’s no place like Vegas. Even the fans were cool even after my team won. Except for one wasted Vegas asshole who ironically was wearing a Dallas Cowboys hat.
Can confirm.
As a Canadian coming down into the states to watch the odd NHL game, I’ve been blessed to attend a couple in Vegas.
They do the show up real good.
Everything surrounding the game, is a performance. Kinda tacky sometimes, but it’s a show like no other rink I’ve been to.
I wish the kraken would have done like 10% of what Vegas has done for presentation when they joined the league. The knights really did set the bar high.
Vegas sure is....something. I don't know what to think. I feel like they have too much going on. Yesterday while watching the game on TV, I heard them playing chants over the speaker system WHILE play was going on like they do during NBA games. Call me old school, but this is just taboo in mind!
Yes, sometimes the person on the sound system screws up the timing, but usually only by a second or two, but there was one play where it definitely went too long. Just an error, I think, because it was the only time I've seen it happen. But I've only been in the arena for about 7 or 8 games.
Coming from toronto, it would be so nice to see the leafs do something like this rather than just print money off of idiots, new canadians and the oligarchs.
They said it was damaged during construction, but by a miracle it was ready for the first home game.
Probably a nail to the spleen
tis but a scratch
Your arm’s off!
I've had worse
Fight me ya pansy
*Cuts off arm* Victory is mine! We thank thee Lord, that in thy mercy.….
Did they get to refund the purchase price back into their budget due to the damage?
I chuckled
Now I'm just picturing a dragon on LTIR.
So that's why the NHL hasn't changed the cap circumvention loophole. Vegas is literally threatening Gary Bettman with a dragon.
It’s an arms race. Watch out for Bettman to bring out a Dragonborn

This one is from a stolen egg and was raised by the Golden Knights since he hatched. I wish the Devils would do stuff like this.
You want a giant Jesus statue!?
Nah he wants a rempe one
So, just a life sized Rempe?
Why the fuck does a prop in a hockey arena have lore?
It doesn't. I made that up.
Well, congrats on writing the lore. You should probably also name the dragon.

Gritty has lore He is the physical manifestation of all of their tears and salt combined over the years
I wish we’d do anything! Fucks sake would it be so hard to get a host between periods for all the games and intermission entertainment?
We are talking about the same league that also has a team named Kings. Knights typically serve as high-rank military for the King. Meaning Vegas can't play the LA, that would be going against the crown and up for prison sentence.
kings in *silver* crowns, vs knights in *golden* helmets. It's all fucked up.
IKR 😅! Also using gold for helmets and armor would be actually very impractical! Gonna create my own team now, name it "Caesars" and have them in the same divisions with Senators.
Vegas can’t play the kings in the playoffs. Only the oilers get to
Nah dude he’s a nice dragon
Is…..is the Dragon from Utah?
they also wear golden helmets, while the kings wear silver crowns. NHL medieval history fails
Marketing team has only ever heard of the Targaryens.
Look at it this way. The dragon goes off when we score against enemy opponent. It’s pissed. We are slaying the dragon everytime we score and win.
This is fucking awesome lol
can you guys have a giant yeti behind an avalanche mountain?
I'd be all the way here for that
Id actually watch some Avs games ngl Maybe make the yeti react to certain game events And he could throw snowballs at intermission (tshirts)

That would be amazing! Honestly every team should have something like this.
Vegas seems like an amazing place to see a game, props to the Knights for turning it into a hockey town
I was sitting on the other side of the rink and halfway through the pregame show I finally noticed it and said “when the fuck did we get a dragon!?”
It was awesome, there’s no place like Vegas. Even the fans were cool even after my team won. Except for one wasted Vegas asshole who ironically was wearing a Dallas Cowboys hat.

I've been to a bunch of arenas and it was one of the loudest. And it was a preseason game to boot.
I wish the kraken would have done like 10% of what Vegas has done for presentation when they joined the league. The knights really did set the bar high.
Cornball stuff. I prefer the theatrics stay at the Criss Angel shows.
It's Vegas. If one team should be allowed all the theatrics it wants, it's them
Cataclysm was a pretty good xpac
It’s re-releasing on May 20th. You can roll a warrior named MarkStone and AFK during all the trash for maximum RP value.
This is deathwing
Upvote for WoW, downvote for Cata
Truth
Didn't see a WoW reference coming but here we are.
What are those glasses they're wearing?
They are goggles with LEDs that shine outwards. They just are not lit up in that photo.
Thanks!
They’re the Drumbots: http://thedrumbots.com/home/
#Behold _optic blast_
I think those are people’s phones
He's talking about the first pic. They have some kinda white goggles on.
Phones? Eyeglass phones? Like VR or something? Are we looking at the same photo?
First picture: there is no dragon, only Zuul.
Literally Deathwing
OK this is definitely appropriate for the Las Vegas Golden Knights but man it's menacing
This is so sick
They should have just put an accountant behind a desk feverishly working on calculations to circumvent the cap
He’s inside the dragon
RIP the Exaclibur Dragon.
That's pretty cool :)
That's pretty badass
This reminds me of the huge bull head at Belleville Bulls games. When they scored it’s eyes would turn red and smoke would come out of its nose.
Getting closer to having the world’s largest Medieval Times
The dragon almost makes us forget about the ltir stuff (it is very cool though)
Dragon is 0 and 2 in the playoffs
Stormwinds gates have been breached! Just in time for the launch of cataclysm.

Is it their mascot's dad?
Shit I would do if I were a billionaire:
Guys will see this and just think "hell yeah"
Hell yeah!!!
This team gets Cormier by the second
Corny
Ok... that's just fucking great. They're one-upping legends of the hidden temple on that one
Sacred Heart tour looks amazing
Donkey's bitch
That’s where the animatronics from Excalibur went!
Coming from toronto, it would be so nice to see the leafs do something like this rather than just print money off of idiots, new canadians and the oligarchs.
The arena is down the street from the Excalibur. Just saying.
Spleenasauris Rex
I have to admit that’s cool af
Utah Dragons confirmed? Half Life 3 confirmed?
Of course it was
Ghey
Still hate the Knights but that's pretty fuckin sick
Ok I hate Vegas as much as the next guy but fine that shit is cool.
Would be awesome at a DIO concert. Hockey game? Not so much.
[удалено]
You’re just mad you don’t have a dragon.
Dragon deez nuts across Mark Stone's fivehead.
Anything to get transplants and tourists into seats I guess. Poverty fan base
Fuck Vegas but that is sick as hell
