They're professional hockey players. There's no way they prioritize having a good party over winning hockey games
For Eastern teams it's just one trip a year so I doubt it will.
FWIW, when Tampa had their trip to Vegas someone on Tampa's board said they had seen Stamkos and Kucherov partying. "They were so drunk they could barely walk" I believe is what he said. But it's a random poster on HF so I wouldn't put that much stock into it.I still skeptical that it would make a big difference in the bigger picture.
Players that party the most will find something to do no matter where they are. If it becomes a problem with how they're playing then generally at that point I'd think the team's brass would probably step in.
We also had Johnson and Dotchin out with the "flu" so yeah, safe to say some teams party in VegasFWIW, when Tampa had their trip to Vegas someone on Tampa's board said they had seen Stamkos and Kucherov partying.

Vegas right around SJ? OK buddy.I've seen lists of top party cities that have Vegas somewhere below NYC, Nashville, Miami, and right around LA and San Jose.

It sounds stupid, but what other explanation is there for the Golden Knights amazing home record?
When the players are alone at the hotel they lose all their Chi for some reason...By that logic, shouldn't Winnipeg have the worst record in the league? Nothing for opponents to do except practise and go to sleep
The Golden Knights record is the way it is because the Refs have been handing them victories. Period.

I live in Vegas. The novelty absolutely wears off. And these are professional athletes whose contract raises or reductions pay for their performance. And generally speaking, players want to win. This crackpot theory is one of the most presumptous and absurd I've read in a decade on this site.I can tell you've never been to Vegas.
The novelty does not wear off. I've been to Vegas 8 times. And I'm not a multimillionaire. If I was Vegas would be 10000x more fun.
