I guess Miracle is an example of how it could work, but I still don't see it as that was more an Olympic and American nationalism story which sellable as more than hockey.

Its impressive, but not up there with the college kids that beat the Soviet Union and won gold in 1980, or a provincial team like Leicester city with a budget one forth of Chelsea winning the EPL.
If Vegas had a payroll of 19 million and not gifted a bunch of top flight players it would be a different story. Also, they still have to win, this will all come to nothing if they lose in the next round.
