The comparisons to saying the "Angeles Kings" or "York Rangers" are ridiculous, not a single person alive refers to either of those places by those names. I assume you all get up in arms when someone says LA Kings instead of Los Angeles Kings as well?
Focus more on the Nova helmet logo silliness, at least that's worthy of derision.

The only time I ever hear it called Vegas is when people are planning to or are coming back from partying and getting ####faced there, so yes, it's a goofy nickname to me. Some people call Fort St. John "The John" so is the John Flyers acceptable? No, because it's a nickname. Same if it was The Hat Tigers, The Jaw Warriors or the George Cougars
At least L.A. is an actual abbreviation of the citys proper name.
