Sweet tricks, mom.
Honestly I'm surprised the name hasn't leaked already, I guess interest is really that low

I really hope that they have second thoughts and don't announce a name tonight, but still have the event.

You maniacs! You blew it up! God damn you! God damn you all to hell!!
I think what they should do is call themselves a different kind of Knight every year. Maybe even rotate them and they can call it the Year of whatever like the Chinese calendar.

Why limit yourself to the Silver Knights or the Golden Knights when you can have both, plus the Diamond Knights?

Or just use the Chinese calendar directly.


Let's go Monkey Knights! Whoo!



Edit: Oh hey it actually is the Year of the Monkey right now.

It's kinda fun going through this article on nhl.com about how teams got their names and seeing that, even back in the 60's+, people still had the worst loving ideas for sporting franchises.

quote:

With their former team now known as the Dallas Stars, many fans wanted to resurrect the name North Stars, but a trademark issue with the NHL made that an impossibility. From more than 13,000 submissions in a contest, Wild was selected by management in recognition of the popularity of outdoor activity in Minnesota. The name trumped Blue Ox, Freeze, Northern Lights, Voyageurs and White Bears.

1. Burn the NHL at the stake
2. Burn the 90s at the stake

Jesus those loving names are awful aside from Northern Lights

Babe the Blue Ox/Paul Bunyan?

You want bad, try these rejected Buffalo names:

They wanted something unique and Sabres, suggested by four people from among 13,000 entries, was the winner; it beat out entries such as the Mugwumps, Buzzing Bees and Flying Zeppelins.

Oh. I know what Paul Bunyan is, roughly, but I've never heard of that before. But I think finnish folklore would be somewhat unknown to most of you too..

Meh... Could be worse, could be better. I was thinking they'd wind up with something glitzy and cartoonish, but I guess "simple" logos are in.

Just wait until the Hurricanes move to Quebec, though. I bet the Avs won't give up the old logo, and they wind up with something completely ridiculous.
