After a few speeches, owner Bill Foley cued up a video that did not play.

The video would not load, leaving the host and owner Bill Foley up on stage with some time to kill before it was all sorted out.

The reaction was quick and to the point.

After a short delay, the name was finally revealed to be Golden Knights.

NHL expansion team officially unveiled as ‘Vegas Golden Knights’

The NHL's 31st franchise has its identity.

With league commissioner Gary Bettman on hand to provide his endorsement, (and after an unplanned delay), Bill Foley, George McPhee, and the executive team assembled in Las Vegas revealed Tuesday night that the NHL's incoming expansion franchise has been named the "Vegas Golden Knights."

The franchise also presented its official logo and official colors - steel grey, gold, black, and red - which will be worn next season when the NHL delivers the first big-four professional sports franchise to Las Vegas.

The Golden Knights also released a secondary logo, designed from a collection of swords to create the star from the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign.

Watch: Radulov dangles Hoffman to score in style

Alexander Radulov continues to prove Marc Bergevin right.

The Russian winger took matters onto his own stick, scoring a sensational goal against the Ottawa Senators - at the expense of Mike Hoffman - on Tuesday.

The move to get to the net was one thing, but Radulov's ability to stick with the puck and jam home the rebound is a testament to the faith the Montreal Canadiens placed in him with a one-year contract this past offseason.

Report: Sabres will consider trading Kane for ‘right defenseman’

A trade involving Evander Kane isn't completely off the table in Buffalo.

Sabres general manager Tim Murray could flip the winger in a deal, but only in exchange for much-needed help on the blue line, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

From Tuesday's "Insider Trading":

The Buffalo Sabres are not close to trading Evander Kane, but they do appear to be at least open to the idea if they get the right defenseman in return.

The Vancouver Canucks shut down their talks with Buffalo on Evander Kane last week. The New York Islanders came in and started kicking tires on Evander Kane, but nothing came of that.

Nothing is imminent at this moment, but the Buffalo Sabres will consider it for the right defenseman.

Kane has appeared in 73 games for the Sabres since being acquired from Winnipeg in 2014, recording 20 goals and 17 assists.

The 25-year-old, drafted fourth overall in 2009, has been limited to eight games this season due to injury, and is still looking for his first goal.

Averse to being filmed while being escorted off the ice after laying somewhat of a whooping on Ryan Ellis in a dustup Monday night, an incensed J.T. Brown smacked a phone out of a fan's hand as he headed down the tunnel, smashing its screen.

The fan told TMZ that he won't pursue legal action against Brown, but would appreciate a functioning phone.

Sharks, Burns agree to 8-year contract extension

The San Jose Sharks and defenseman Brent Burns have agreed to terms on a maximum eight-year contract extension, the team confirmed Tuesday.

Financial details were not disclosed, but ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reports that the Sharks' rover will earn around $8 million each season throughout the life of the deal, valuing the agreements at roughly $64 million.

The converted defender's in line to be the highest-paid member of the Sharks next season and beyond. His current $5.76-million salary is the highest among the club's current fleet of blue liners.

Burns is coming off a career season in which is posted 27 goals, 75 points, and put the second-most shots on target league-wide, earning his first Norris Trophy nomination.

He's contributed seven goals and 16 points in 19 this season.

Ripken receives jersey from Ovechkin after visiting Capitals

The Washington Capitals had a special visitor at practice on Tuesday when baseball's "Iron Man" and Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. paid the team a visit.

Ripken was spotted behind the team's bench during practice, before stepping into the film room to share some knowledge with the club.

Perhaps Ripken was going to give the Capitals some advice on how to never miss a game, like he did when he set Major League Baseball's streak for consecutive games played (2,632).

Whatever advice he gave to them was enough to warrant a visit from the entire team, including captain Alex Ovechkin who presented Ripken with a custom jersey.
