it’s my last day in Las Vegas, I’m headed back to the Minnesota homeland
I leave this amazing community/landscape with so many friends & stories
I moved here to cover the Golden Knights so here’s a few of my thoughts as they head into free agency
@KTNV
Hi my name is Lindsey Brown & I’m autistic & have ADHD. I take medicine to help regulate my nervous system & lightning fast brain. Like many women I wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood
I struggle daily w/ depression/anxiety/disordered eating. I talk about sports on the radio too
per William Karlsson’s IG… potential

bachelor party vibes or just another Saturday night at the Cosmo
(from left to right);
Alex Tuch, Chandler Stephenson, Karlsson, Shea Theodore & Reilly Smith
captioned by 🤠: Backstreet’s back
& so ends my time with the LV Sports Network
I am grateful for the people I worked with who gave me a spot to set down my walking stick
I am proud of my work & what I’ve contributed in taking up space that was not always open to people like me
blank page, my ink & who knows?
Malcolm Subban absolutely has
a future in the NHL
VGK is in win NOW and they went out and upgraded to acquire a goaltender that matches their organizational timeline this year/potentially in the future
A fresh start and more minutes will serve Subban well in CHI

I’ve wandered under the lights of Las Vegas for nearly five years
I knew this community’s BIG time sports potential when I first visited & I gave myself the chance to ride along
So much of it already realized w/ plenty more on the horizon
But it’s time for me to go home
Almost t-boned William Karlsson & his scooter as I walked out of the restroom
If that’s the same scooter Pacioretty was pushing around on few weeks back it probably should get an invite the the team holiday party
Not sure about VGK’s scooter budget. another story to follow?
nearly four years ago I moved to the desert to cover the Golden Knights in hopes of getting in the building for a Stanley Cup Final
it’s all happening
listen to your gut
bet on Vegas
I dropped my broken TV off for recycling at the Blind Center of Nevada & the first thing they asked me was if I was a Cowboys fan
Apparently there have been a lot of donations from one particular fan base this week
today was my last show on Raider Nation Radio
I so appreciate how welcoming many were to me in this incredible community
I loved the pregame meetings at the Torch and hearing your takes/stories
there is only one Nation
we’ll always have AConn & Young Jeezy

slight professional news:
I’m sticking around Vegas for the next few years and for the first time EVER... I have a full time job
We’re cooking up some crazy stuff at
@SportsRadio1140
, we can’t wait to share
hold on to your butts, things are about to get disruptive
#sportz
poetic that the Golden Knights for the second straight night fail to score in a shootout loss. tonight vs the Blackhawks (trade partners for Lehner & Fleury) and are eliminated from playoff contention
Thompson. Lehner. Fleury.
All gave what they had.
Goalies aren’t the problem
The night we covered history.
Patrick Marleau’s record-breaking 1,768th career game
VGK & SJS media from the press perch on April 19th, 2021

@Dan_DUva
for
risking it all for the photo cred
I’ve produced+edited 3 separate vid projects today, co-hosted a radio show, & put make-up on today
And I’m still short of 1K followers on this hellscape of website.
Help a female sports radio host
out, I only ask (this explicitly) once
plus I burnt my pizza typing this
Sadly I have been informed that yesterday was our final show
I am thankful for the people it brought into my life & the experiences we created
I am incredibly proud of our work & the boundaries we are eager to push in sportz radio
Today is a tough day. Tomorrow is on the way.
Today I get to bear witness to a Stanley Cup Final.
I met the Cup two days ago.
This is my job. This is my life.
a long way from overnight board shifts & street team plinko set ups
a longer way from morning practice & recovery push skating sets in goalie world
don’t blink
there’s something about driving down Frank Sinatra Dr on the way to a playoff hockey game
the I can’t believe this is my actual life moments that you usually don’t slow down to appreciate in real time
I get to attend my first Super Bowl today & I’m strongly considering packing stuff to sleep in my car bc I feel like getting home is gonna be a project
I am not a distraction and neither are you.
portion from the Playmakers earlier today
Watch or don’t, I don’t really care at this point.
Be better than your last shift and have your teammates’ backs
It’s been time to practice what we preach
I can already tell that with ESPN+
I’m going to watch more hockey this season than I ever have in my life
Everyone except the Golden Knights of course, oh the irony
brain power for (at least) eight scheduled interviews before noon fueled by
@Uncrustables
from elementary school to radio row in Vegas… greatness travels
for everyone balking
at the 2nd round picks sent to LAK for Martinez...
1. VGK has TONS of picks
2. This team is in Win a Cup now mode so exchanging a future lottery ticket for a 2x Cup winner in a spot of DIRE need for the here and now makes total sense
#VegasBorn
we are in for an absolute TREAT in the goaltending department tonight
Fleury v. Quick
both have been defined by their athletic/creative style
I'm stoked to be in the building
I’m very aware of all the amazing things about to happen in my adopted home town during the Super Bowl
I’m also very aware that wherever the Super Bowl is held, the city becomes host to the biggest (if not one of) human trafficking events on earth
For help:

Marc-Andre Fleury has lost five of his last six starts dating back to 3/21 in LA
Four of the six games on the road, accounting for three of the losses
In those five losses, VGK has scored a total of six goals
the dubs keep stacking for me this year
I got taken out at early morning goalie skate & will be on the mend for a few weeks
no knives anticipated at the moment
I’m getting Culver’s and watching game 7 with my dad to celebrate
A year ago I flew to Vegas alone to see if someone would take a chance on me as a sports radio host
I believe I took this video on my way to my very first meeting with
@Paulihander
What a difference a trip
around the sun makes
#RaiderNation
I am sleep deprived and in my feels
@RyanHockeyGuy
is an incredible talent and better person
I love working with him and hope that we’ll have more opportunities to do so in the future
Congrats on a great season of coverage… talking hockey is the dream but it’s still a grind
I couldn’t be more happy in this moment for
@lindseybrown35
. She bet on herself. She bet on Vegas. And we are all better for it. She’s a pro. Fantastic hockey analyst. Great things are coming her way. It’s awesome to see it from the start.
On a personal note, yesterday was my last shift at
@SKORNorth
.
I’ve worked with so many talented people over the last 2.5 years who taught me everything I know about radio.
Thanks to everyone, I’ll miss you all (especially these two knuckleheads)!
Las Vegas here I come!
Absolutely devastated for Thatcher Demko at the moment
Goalie incapsulate: make nastiest save of the season… immediately get scored on two seconds later
I honestly don’t really care what Gary Bettman has to say.
The NHL needs new leadership top to bottom. It’s not just overdue, it’s urgent.
Saying the league fucked up isn’t enough. They knew and did nothing. We knew and they denied until it was too inconvenient to ignore.
