Re: NHL to Utah official! What's next?
Honestly, right now I would put Yetis at like -200 for it being the name.CaptainChaos wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 4:27 pmYeti is by far the worst but most of them are terrible. I could bring myself to cheer for any of them except yeti. It is so lame and childish. It is so bad. Funny that people don't like blizzard because of colorado yet the yeti has been the unofficial/official mascot for the avalanche from the beginning. Yeti is so stupid that it'll probably be it. I've waited my whole life for a hockey team to cheer for, but I don't think I could do it if its yeti.

I’m an idiot- are this good odds? Seems like it’s like 3 out of every 4 people in polls want that horrifically terrible idiotic mascot.3rdGenAggie wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 4:50 pmHonestly, right now I would put Yetis at like -200 for it being the name.CaptainChaos wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 4:27 pmYeti is by far the worst but most of them are terrible.

Re: NHL to Utah official! What's next?
That sounds about right. So far Ryan has shown the ability to screw (I can't express myself without swearing) up pretty good.3rdGenAggie wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 7:01 pmIt's like 66% chance.CaptainChaos wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 6:49 pmI’m an idiot- are this good odds?

Maybe not just yeti, but give it some time to see if you can do it a little lateri.CaptainChaos wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 4:27 pmYeti is by far the worst but most of them are terrible.

Wasn't there a minor league baseball team that already took that name? Would be kind of cool...

Re: NHL to Utah official! What's next?
With Ryan Smith owning an NBA team, I expect Raptors is out.
Mountaineers is an underrated option.

Re: NHL to Utah official! What's next?
A minor league baseball team that nobody knows about or cares about isn't a reason to not name an NHL team that name.

Isn’t the only pro Raptor team in Canada? No one cares about Canada.

Re: NHL to Utah official! What's next?
leave it to me to criticize everything and not provide any better alternatives. I'll keep thinking. for now, I'll criticize and say THAT'S the best we could come up with?!

Utah Caribou - caribou are "magestical" (iykyk) but dumb and slow. might as well be the Utah Cows. no thanks
Utah Mountaineers - really. i mean i see the connection, but really? very boring, IMO
Utah Hive - I don't hate it, but the "hive" isn't so cool, is it? usually just a bee house? call the building they play in the hive.
Utah Ice - someone already said this...would you name a football team the gridirons, or a basketball team the courts? NO
Utah Black Diamonds - kind-of like mixing metaphors and I personally don't like it.
Utah Blizzard - okay but a bit kitschy and too close to the Avalanche
Utah Outlaws - sounds like a rugby team instead? growing on me, though...
Utah Frost - just because it's cold? nothing inspiring or fearsome about frost
Utah HC - no creativity. yaaawn...
Utah Mammoth - kinda like it. is there any real connections between Utah and Mammoths? but also dumb and slow?
Utah Squall - see Blizzard. but maybe a bit less kitschy?
Utah Swarm - the swarm could play in the hive? sounds amateurish?
Utah Fury - see Venom. but for a 15U team
Utah Glaciers - talk about S.....L.....O.........W. the sloths would skate circles around us...
Utah Canyons - we're trying too hard. see mountaineers.
Utah Freeze - cold theme. that's all. no. unless Frozone could be the mascot...
Utah Yeti - if i was betting this is where i would put my money. but aren't Yeti from Nepal?
Utah Powder - cold. skiing. but no. this is hockey not skiing. nobody like powder in hockey
Utah Blast - amateurish. like explosion blast? why...mining? or as in "have a BLAST"? I don't get this one?

By far my favorite option. I also like it being singular so it can just be being HUGE as well

Re: NHL to Utah official! What's next?
I understand there is precedent, that isn't what I was trying to ask. In a silo, I would prefer the Utah Raptors, but the fact that it isn't unique bothers me enough that I wouldn't vote for it. Just wondering what everyone else thinks. Is a unique name or mascot a must?QuackAttackAggie wrote: ↑May 9th, 2024, 1:29 pmRangers, kings, giants, cardinals, panthers all share names with another league (am I forgetting one?)

How am I the first to vote for Ice?!? It is a terrible name and I demand it wins.
This post is likely straight up poor sarcasm and cannot be taken seriously.
