The Ditch part deux

when and where did this happen ?

 

His ID address popped up on the backend.

He was lurking without logging in.

 

?? that's odd ?

 

Kevin Allen in USA Today, the following names are possible:

Seattle Cougars
Seattle Eagles
Seattle Emeralds
Seattle Evergreens
Seattle Firebirds
Seattle Kraken
Seattle Rainiers
Seattle Renegades
Seattle Sea Lions
Seattle Seals
Seattle Sockeyes
Seattle Totems
Seattle Whalers

Would Hartford storm Seattle if they stole their name? Have you ever been near a sea lion? They stink! (Bettman has already ruled out Metropolitans.)

 

Well he didn't rule it out but he isn't a fan. I don't think generic division names have that much veto power honestly.

 

Not really. People do it here everyday. Some people more than once a day.

 

I've read that he did rule out the Metropolitans. In any case, while I like it for the history, I think it's an unlikely choice.

 

Poor Hawks fans

 

2 goals , 21 seconds apart and the Wings up on TB, 2-0... 1st.

 

Jimmy Howard giving it away... 2-2.

 

3-2 Wings now... good game.

 

Stamkos on a breakaway, 3-3, wow.

 

A Franstrick.

 

Calgary has 8 so far, BJ's 5.

 

Bob can't stop a beachball tonight.

 

8-6, now.

 

Lu shutting out the Bs.

 

Pens have 6 goals, kessel and crosby have 0 pts.

 

Larry, how do you like Leivo?

 

asking because i don't know--how much say or control does bettman get in the naming rights to the new team ? isn't that something the new owners get the privilege too ?i mean for $650 million- they should name their own team, right ??
