I like the name Utah Hockey Club. I think it's cool in an understated way. Common to have a similar name in soccer, but unheard of most other sports. Better than some childish thing like Yetis.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yetis is fine.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Yetis is fine.

Or maybe not, you wouldn't want to confuse the hockey team with a cooler brand.

Yetis is great, I think. In a country with 120+ pro sport teams, they won’t all be unique and meaningful.

I’m expecting disappointment tonight. Vibes are entirely too positive with Ohgren & Jiricek showing out last game and 97/46 coming back.

The number of Karens who have already touched the Stanley cup without earning it is infuriating.

Wasn’t there just some trademark scuttlebutt around Yetis not being the name?

Mammoths would be fun.

Yep, somehow yeti can't be used as a team name because of a cooler company. Then it gets better, there is a brand called Stanley that literally sells cups and that is all good.

I'm actually on board with the Utah hockey club, was kind of meh at first but it is growing on me.

That company has been around since 1913 and they didn't trademark the name "cup", the actual product is called "The Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler". People just call it cup because it is a cup.

Experience the iconic 30 oz Quencher now with a flip straw lid, offering double-wall insulation and stylish graphics for ultimate hydration on-the-go.

It's not even remotely the same situation or at all comparable.

 

[north21]

But it is worth a good laugh.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Still salty about the yotes leaving. Destroy them.

 

[Sweetnut]

Just name them Utah Salty Lakers then.

 

[AKL]

Just name them Utah Salty Lakers then.

Still a travesty that the Los Angeles Lakers kept that name

 

[57special]

Memphis Grizzlies is ridiculous. There isn't a Grizzly within 1200 mi. of Memphis.

This is from the team's site:

"The following lineup is a projection based on Coach Hynes' pregame media availability and is subject to change:
FORWARDS

97 Kirill Kaprizov - 23 Marco Rossi - 36 Mats Zuccarello

12 Matt Boldy - 14 Joel Eriksson Ek - 38 Ryan Hartman

28 Liam Öhgren - 89 Freddy Gaudreau - 17 Marcus Foligno

13 Yakov Trenin - 22 Marat Khusnutdinov - 94 Jakub Lauko

DEFENSE

5 Jake Middleton - 7 Brock Faber

47 Declan Chisholm - 46 Jared Spurgeon

4 Jon Merrill - 24 Zach Bogosian

GOALTENDERS

32 Filip Gustavsson"

I would keep Boldy-Rossi-Zuke together. They have been playing good enough for a while.
Then put Kap with Ek and Öhgren. Hartman-Freddy-Foligno.
I want to see Öhgren get a shot with Kap.

 

[GordieGallant]

Vagabonds would be perfect

 

[Webster]

Poor Boldy, he played well on the top line. But we know how strong the Kap & Zucc bond is.

 

[Roman Maroni]

I still think Moguls would be a good name
It's a late 1800s locomotive that was used extensively in Utah and on transcontinental railroad. Would make a good logo too.

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

Think the name Outlaws is way cooler, pun intended and way more fun then a Yeti

 

[Roman Maroni]

How did I know it was gonna be Merrill?

 

[Sweetnut]

"##&(//&/&%¤%#¤¤"!!
Merrill losing the battle behind the net and then goes right in front to screen Gus.

 

[Roman Maroni]

Should add about 51 more digits to Merrills uniform number....

 

[NHL1674]

Should be an easy win, since I can't watch it tonight.
