Utah has had a great little run of extremely stupid names that have nothing to do with them or the region. Utah Jazz is probably the funniest franchise name in sports, and Real Salt Lake has the vibe of saying "Lamborghini Corolla" or something.

so, excited to have the Salt Lake Samurais or Utah Cataphracts next year. i hope they're just going through the Age of Empires 2 unique unit list and throwing a dart at it

thankfully Utah already has a cultural history to explain this type of complicated franchise maneuver:

The Wikipedia article on Warren Jeffs posted:

Following Rulon's death the Coyotes' deactivation, Jeffs Smith told high-ranking FLDS officials the NHL board of governors, "I won't say much, but I will say this – hands off my father's wives RFAs." When addressing his father's widows the Coyotes players he said, "You women players will live as if Father the Coyotes are still alive merely temporarily deactivated as a franchise and in the next room state." Within a week he had married re-signed all but two of his father's wives the Coyotes' players.

I feel like every fan base should have one representative post a summary of their team's respective failed seasons in this format.

was it Yahoo that used to have an enemy fan do it? if so, WeaponX should get to do the Devils. maybe a Pens and Flyers fan can do either team. if the Rangers lose, think of how much fun Eric or Rex or McMagic would have

Very irritated that Mike Sullivan is gonna be behind the bench for yet another season. 6 years in a row of losing in the first round or missing the playoffs apparently isn't enough to replace him.

I honestly do think he's a good coach but it's insanity to have poo poo results for 6 years going and not consider trying something different.

The powerplay issues alone this year should have been grounds to can the entire coaching staff

I'm a fan of the Arizona Cardinals so vibes matter more than wins hence loser thread

Auto no's:
- Chicago - They dug their own grave
- Utah - I barely remembered they existed when they were in AZ

What team has (relatively) less toxic vibes, irrelevant of wins?

Nashville Predators. Fun location, their fans have fun chants at home games, they have a fun core of Sauros (goalie), Josi (defense) and Forsberg, and are def still underdogs.

From Charlie’s article:

“That’s what we’re planning on, would be Ersson and Fedotov next season,” Briere confirmed. “Something could change, especially with the history of this organization with goaltending. It seems there’s always some drama there. But it would be nice to get away from the drama.””
