Vegas Sports Domination: Aces & Knights Win, Raiders Joke
7 Jun
Summary
- Erik Johnson joined NHL Stanley Cup Final coverage as analyst.
- Las Vegas teams have won four titles in four years.
- Raiders have had losing seasons for four consecutive years.
During the halftime of a WNBA game, ESPN's Erik Johnson and Steve Levy previewed the Stanley Cup Final. Johnson, now an NHL analyst after a 17-year playing career, noted Las Vegas' impressive sports success, mentioning four titles won by the Aces and Golden Knights in four years.
Levy seized the moment to tease the city's NFL team, the Raiders, by omitting them from the discussion of winning. This quip drew surprise from the WNBA broadcast crew.
The Raiders have faced significant challenges, concluding the 2025 season with a 3-14 record and enduring four consecutive losing seasons. Their only playoff appearance as the Las Vegas Raiders was in 2002, when they reached the Super Bowl as the Oakland Raiders.
