Just go with Roughriders… or Rough Riders
Gotta be the latter; Saskatchewan still using the former. Re-name the rink George Brancato Arena.

I think they stopped considering the pluralisation (is that even a word) when someone in the room preactively chirped "The Mammoths have shown up for training camp, eh?"
 
mammoth would be at least tolerable if they pluralized it
Yeah, same thing for Yeti (or Kraken for that matter). Everyone says "it sounds better". Based on what? It doesn't even make sense. Are they all meant to link up into one entity? The Vancouver Canuck? The Ottawa Senator?

tonite in nashville the great smoky take on the vancouver cascade. only in the nhl
I think "Vancouver Cascade" actually sounds awesome (and does make sense in the singular). But if you're going by the mountain range, in BC it'd be the "Coast". Which, yeah.

Wait until you hear about how Nathan MacKinnon interacts with his teammates ...

That profile from a few years ago made him seem like an absolute psychopath. Beyond anything we've heard about Michael Jordan or top stars in other spots.

Total weirdo. Controlling what his teammates ate.

Stamkos is apparently a real piece of work, too - treated Slater Koekkoek so horribly that Koekkoek developed an eating disorder and started hating hockey. Koekkoek absolutely hates Stamkos' guts.

Boqvist on waivers. 24 year old RHD. Former #8 overall.

It would be like Brannstrom except on the right side. Would make for an interesting pickup for a look. Likely wouldn't amount to anything but you already know Juulsen and Desharnais won't amount to anything.

This is the best reclamation project we could ask for, if he's willing to change his game a tiny bit. Aquilini would be wise to push for a claim.

well we know miller didn’t last with stamkos so it probably wouldn’t work with mackinnon either

There is a difference though....MacKinnon is always the hardest worker at practice and games according to his teammates. He isn't the often time sulky and questionable effort player like Miller can be for long stretches.
