The wild make up for it with some of the best sweaters in the league which Utah won’t do.

Holy shit Van. What a comeback.

Worth watching that OT goal again, but listening to Conor make the call.

[Hood26]

Womp womp.

Oilers skating like they are hurt. Also, why Conor Brown keeps getting suited up over Gagne is beyond me.

I'm gonna catch some shit for this but just because your "franchise" came from somewhere else doesn't give you the right to rock a nordiques jersey. If you want a North Stars jersey, that's all good. My wife hates when I bring up the original 6 argument. Lol.

Damn I wished I had watched the Bruins get bItch slapped. Watching the high lights didn't allow me to saver the joy of seeing them lose.
There's always something special seeming them getting humbled. It will be interesting to see how they respond but what's even better is seeing them lose on home ice. One can only hope.

Way too many of the Utah names are too similar to CO. Or outright the same (mammoth for lacrosse). Seagulls or bees or something is at least utah connected.

When did hockey become a morality play? Before I was born, I'm thinking.

I got a video for ya Kenny

Mammoth is the best, IMHO. You've got the fossil connection to the state. I'm a lacrosse fan, but that isn't a big enough sporting league to be on anyone's radar.

I predict it's going end up being Yeti. Which is a touch too close to the Av's secondary logo of the abominable snowman foot, but whatever. I'm just glad they didn't pluralize it.

[basinbeater]

^^^ dude, YETI is plural

[heckacali]

As I said elsewhere in this thread, my kids hockey club was formally
"Hockey club Reno Ice"
I guess it is still called that, but they also recently adopted the yeti as their mascot.
The new home jerseys have a yeti (That looks like the abominable snowman from The Rudolph cartoon) holding a stick on it and the kids hate it and think it looks ridiculous.
Good luck with that, NHL.

^^^ dude, YETI is plural

I thought it was too, but apparently not. 'Yetis' makes me want to claw my eyes out. 'Mammoths' would sound dumb too.

The choices

[The SnowShow]

Looking at those again…wow, those are so bad. Honestly there isn’t one name on that list I’d vote for.

[ötzi]

The Black Diamonds? hm.

If they called the venue the Hive they could called the team the Drones. The Queens might not be so good.

[wkd-rdr]

The Black Diamonds? hm.

Utah Groomers?

[The SnowShow]

Utah Wasatch

[ski_the_fraulein]

FWIW, my not-that-into sports wife’s suggestions are the:
Oh-my-heckers
Frickerz
Jell-O Makers
Honey Drippers
Honey Buns
Pollinators
Pioneers
Converters

Or her real favorite:
Fornicators

I like the Utah Jacks…

But if we’re going to compete with Nashville and Detroit, need to be able to smuggle a related object to toss on the ice, so, with the exception of Jell-O shots, probably should go with Cutthroats!

Full disclosure, Uinta sponsored our beer league team and we are/were the Cutthroats.

goddamnit these fucking pussies are trying to get swept.

[Jumper Bones]

If resident dictator emeritus Iffyskier of ON3P got served a C&D for having the nerve to make a ski with his own name…how would the water bottle company handle them being the Yeti? Both groups got money, all them coolers ain’t cheap…

[stealurface831]

don't let the canes win game 4. just don't let em.
