Excited about this Preds/Nucks game. Because I am in the Central Time zone tonight I might even stay up for most of it lol.

the angle we never got on the Necas goal

Are you sure? I'm fairly certain they gave the shot from the goalcam, and there was no white on Necas' shot. While there clearly is white on that one.

every angle i seen was from not directly above but slightly behind so you couldn't see the front of the puck

Is Snowy State Bitch Buzzards up for consideration? Asking for a friend.

Smelly smelling jive thunder queens gets my vote.

Yeah, Outlaws and Yeti (singular, not plural) are the best I’ve heard thus far.

I also really like Utah Yeti but I'm weak to alliterations. I just want to call them The Yeti though.

The more I think about it, the more I think Outlaws is the right call. It’s unique compared to other teams in the league, the color scheme and mascot would be easy to parse, and it’s relevant to the state of Utah (Butch Cassidy being born there).

Only negative I can think of is that the name comes off as a little “minor league”, but that could just be an something that will become normalized in time/use.

I guess if they wanted to move up to the "major league", then they could be the Utah Murderers....

Is this the comeback of super soakers?

Or Crows.

Use The Crow as the basis, since a gathering of crows is a murder of crows.

Super soakers shouldve been on the shortlist of names

Man, this team needs to upgrade their rink for safety.

Moronie keeps saying there are ice holes all over the place!

I thought those were in Boston?

Outlaws is my favorite of the names they've trademarked thus far, the other options aren't really that inspiring. I hope they stay away from any of the meme names.

Not sure if they'd do this with Vegas already using Golden in their name, but I think a Golden Eagles throwback would be pretty cool. Revive the old color scheme for the jerseys, can tie it in with the green/yellow shades the Jazz use (used?). Would be a unique look since only the Wild's color rush used those colors. Could use more green in the league anyway.

There is already a so called major league team who's mascot is a pig and who plays kids games on the ice after wins... I think they can get away with Outlaws

So they are saying they have 8 mascot ideas they are working through

So they're married to all the ideas?

My guesses:

Venom (Snake/Scorpion longshot)
Yeti (Yeti)
Blizzard (Snowflake?)
Outlaws (Cowboy)
Miners (Miner)
Yodelers (Ricola guy)
Eagles (Eagles)
Utah Hockey Club (Some Gritty lookalike)

I am all in on them being the Miners, mainly for the inevitable Nashville vs Utah playoff series. Hockey's most intense rivalry

What you did there...I see it...
