LAS VEGAS — It was supposed to be a celebration of all the things this city is about, a night many thought would never come. “This terrible event has kind of put a damper on opening night,” Knights owner Bill Foley said. We’re the Las Vegas team and this is going to be the first event following the massacre.”Las Vegas remains a sombre place, even as tourists continue the never-ending party on the Strip. Then there will be hockey on the highest level, as Las Vegas joins the ranks of cities with major sports franchises for the first time. First, though, they must get through an opening night Tuesday unlike any other.
