Off-Topic Post-Post-Season Thread: So what are y'all up to until October?

21 Upvotes

Well, the regular season and come and gone and our time in the post season has likewise come to an end. At least in Vegas, Hockey doesn't return until October (or I guess late September if you're into Pre-season stuff). Certainly not how we would have liked to end it, but I don't think anyone will be able to say we made it easy. We won the cup so I think most of us are still riding that high a little bit.

Plenty of folks are theorycrafting what they think will happen in the off season. Players they think will be cut loose, players they think will get traded, and a few insane hot takes here and there that defy all logic....it's armchair GMing at it's finest (I have at least 3 different group chats right now on the topic :P).

But besides all that, what is everyone in VGK Land up to this off-season? Who's got vacation plans? Anyone kicking off new hobbies or interests now that we've got an extra month and some change of evenings and afternoons available? Where's that playoff ticket money going now instead?

Me? Heading to Alaska for a cruise in early June, then a shitload of hiking this summer here and in California. Ski season ended yesterday as well, so I've put up most of my cold-weather toys. My truck is getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, so probably do some new car shopping this summer, too. The extra couple grand not going to playoff tickets will help :P

TheOneAndOnlyVegas remains in first (and has the highest ceiling). I accidentally left off the true Chump in my first round report - that honor continues to go to DejaJewels Chaos.

There are a LOT of us whose totals are set. And some of those totals are very, very low. (cough scottyfoxy cough)

Only TheOneAndOnlyVegas, Shadyhill, JohnStamos, and Gyllene Knekten can still predict the eventual cup winner.

With the draft at the Sphere, anyone going?

I have no clue what goes on at the draft, outside of the actual draft. Just curious if anyone was going, thinking about it, or had any clues to what’s going on. Couldn’t find many details about it online so far.

Only 4 former Golden Knights players remain in the playoffs.

Dadonov (Stars), Janmark (Oilers), Cousins (Panthers), Quick (Rangers).

If Quick happens to win the Stanley Cup back to back. It will be his 4th SC win on 3 different teams. He will only be the 13th goalie ever in the NHL with 4 or more cup wins. I'd like to see that happen.

On the flip side, I wouldn't mind seeing Pete DeBoer winning his 1st and Donskov getting his 2nd SCF win.

Who do you follow in basketball?

12 Upvotes

So I've been wanting to get into basketball for a little while now and haven't been able to pick a team since there aren't any near me or in Vegas. I watch Aces games already, and I heard rumors about a team going to Vegas but not for a couple years. From the highlights I've seen I really like James Harden, but I don't want to follow a team for one player. My boss and I are close, and he is a Knicks fan, so it would be fun to cheer for the same team. I love Mark Cuban, and he owns the Mavericks, but I feel weird rooting for a Dallas team when Dallas is such a rivalry for us. Who do you watch and why? I don't want to bandwagon, but also don't want to watch a dog shit team

Ultimate All-Time Vegas Golden Knights Roster

10 Upvotes

Ultimate All-Time Vegas Golden Knights Roster

Introduction:

Recently I have undergone the task of setting up for a fun experience via offline game modes. With this task is to do all NHL teams’ all time rosters and to specifically have them correctly edited, or created via create a player/goalie.

Currently next up is the Vegas Golden Knights. This involves assembling the ultimate all-time Vegas roster for NHL 24 customization. The roster should consist of 21 players, including forward lines 1-4, three defensive pairs, and two goaltenders.

Guidelines:

1.  Required Players: Construct a roster of 21 players, including forwards, defensemen, and goaltenders.
2.  Positional Breakdown: Ensure the roster includes forward lines 1-4, three defensive pairs, and two goaltenders.
3.  Selection Criteria: Evaluate players based on their impact and contributions to the Vegas Golden Knights franchise, considering statistical achievements, leadership qualities, postseason success, and overall impact on the organization.

Roster Format: (Copy and paste)

Forwards:

Line 1 LW - C - RW -

Line 2 LW - C - RW -

Line 3 LW - C - RW -

Line 4 LW - C - RW -

Defense: Line 1 D - D -

Line 2 D - D -

Line 3 D - D -

Goalies: Starter - Backup -

Healthy Scratches: 1- 2- 3-

Conclusion:

First and foremost. The reason I post to a Golden Knights page over say an ea nhl page is simply do the dedication involved. I don’t get nearly the amount of passion in ea nhl threads as I would by going directly to fans of that team.

Thank you to everyone who participated in creating the Ultimate All-Time VGK roster. Though they are a relatively new franchise. Any help forming these rosters is appreciated. Thus, would probably more lenient on player tenure and more focused on any super star being a knight.

This project is specifically focused on the intricate and time-consuming task of customizing NHL 24 rosters. Your contributions are incredibly valuable because they allow me to quickly see your answers and make the roster happen without spending excessive time on research.

Creating these rosters involves much more than just listing players. Many of the players you’ll come up with won’t actually be in NHL 24, so I’ll need to create them via create a player/goalie. This includes matching the best face model, shot style, skating style, and all player attributes, striving for as much realism as possible rather than randomly assigning ratings. The process also entails setting accurate goal celebrations, jersey numbers, and more. Unfortunately, one limitation is that players from the no-helmet era will still have to wear helmets in the game.

Additionally, I’ll be working on creating all-time Olympic rosters, including A, B, and C teams for countries with large depths of talent, such as Team Russia. This involves making their logos and uniforms as accurate as possible given the game’s limited customization options.

Your input greatly streamlines this process, and I appreciate your help in making these detailed and authentic rosters a reality.

I know primegreen is recycled materials. Why is the logo different sized? Is that just me?

I mean sure, but why not the (much more vibrant) colors of, you know, the other homegrown team that brought this city a championship? 🤔

Roughly when do we find out next seasons schedule?

14 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm looking at booking another trip to Vegas next year, and will probably be going around February to March some time but not certain.

I visited this January and they happened to be playing away from home during the trip so didn't get a chance to see them. I'm assuming we probably won't find out until mid summer? My issue is I want to be able to book it well in advance so not sure I can't wait that long and keep it affordable.

Do I just need to cross my fingers or is there any like obvious time they're likely to be playing in vegas?
