2023-24 NHL Season [ARCHIVED] Hockey • Page 50

Utah can resurrect my dream for Vegas and become the Sand People

 

I was thinking Utah is gonna be hard pressed to pick a dumber name than Kraken, but then I saw Sportsnet listing Venom and Fury as possibilities and fuck it just let Arizona keep the team.

 

Think they're gonna go generic with HC for the first year. No way blizzard venom or fury test well over a few months.

 

Obstructed seating worked out great in Brooklyn

 

Those names are great names for an arena football team

 

I can rattle off like five NHL teams with worse names than the Utah Fury easily but I don’t love any of them, and huge LOL at potentially playing next season without a name

 

Panthers in 6
Bruins in 7
Rangers in 5
Hurricanes in 5

Stars in 7
Jets in 6
Canucks in 5
Oilers in 6

 

Oh yeah the NHL has some of the worst names in American pro sports.

 

How?

 

No sweeps? Boooooo

 

yeah im pretty sure that's the delta centers capacity lol

 

Scattered starts

 

Utah Cougars would be a better name than any I’ve seen suggested anywhere so far, I know they’ve got a decent mountain lion population.

 

BYU Cougars exist, this. Unlikely to take the college nickname.

 

stupid college sports ruining a good idea

 

Panthers in 6
Maple Leafs in 7
Rangers in 5
Hurricanes in 6

Golden Knights in 7
Jets in 7
Predators in 7
Oilers in 6

 

I kinda like just calling them the Utah Hockey Club. Nicknames are tradition but not necessary, really.

 

Rams or Bighorns would be alright as well I think

 

Hate the 8:30/9:30 start times but at least I won't have to miss any baseball

 

Utah Beehives

 

If we're gonna go bee related, I'd prefer Utah Swarm. But we already have a minor league baseball team called the Bees so idk

 

oh no, please someone give the billionaire his space.

fucking child.

 

The Utah Joseph Smiths.

Preds in 6.

 

No sweeps? Boooooo

 

Apparently Utah yetis also got trademarked

In case you thought it couldn't get worse
