I like Utah Scouts in reference to Jim Bridger, Jedediah Smith and John C. Fremont among others who explored and trapped in the area. Explorers and Trappers would be good too.

There was an old WHA Kansas City Scouts, so the name has been used previously in hockey. I think I still have a sticker for the team from an old hockey card pack somewhere. I wonder if there's a copyright issue? I don't mind scouts myself.

I actually like the name Yeti for them but I get why it may be an issue. I also understand Yeti aren't North American and how Colorado may take unkindly to the notion.

As an aside @macmaroon as always thank you for the GDT, your work is immensely appreciated. I noted you said your late mother. Obviously I don't pay that much attention but in your tenure as master of the GDT I believe you traveled with her somewhat recently, so my belated condolences to you.

I'll be at this game and given who I'm attending with, likely to be 17 sheets to the wind by the end of the first. Also attending Sunday, which may have to be a dry Sunday for recovery.

GJG.

Thanks @buggs, it will be a year ago this week that she passed away. When my father passed away, I took care of my Mom, well actually, she took care of me. Anyway, I always took her with me on holidays, we went everywhere, including twice a year to Las Vegas. She liked to play the penny slots and she did enjoy the buffets as well. Our last trip together was just before the pandemic and it was quite the adventure! I'll make it into a GDT perhaps...🤔

Thanks for the education. Just did a little research. That KC team is now the Devils by way of the Colorado Rockies.

Actually, the KC Scouts were an NHL team not a WHA team (during the time when the two leagues "co-existed").

Sad but also funny post all at the same time. Belated sorry for your loss, not sure how that slipped through my five hole.

Fun day today I head out of town with my kids high school team for a game in Piniawa tonight. Hopefully we get the Jets feed on the bus ride back like we did last time. Not sure what to expect from our team without Ehlers and Lowry but Hockey is the ultimate team sport so here’s hoping.

OMG EHLERS TRADE INCOMING!!!

Now I can open that Welcome to Winnipeg, Matt Barzal! thread I've been carrying round in my back pocket.

Will be nice to see Lambert back up. That's a nicely balanced 4th line.

No its a Chevy/Ehlers bet ... if Jets win without Ehlers its $7 million per year ... if the Jets lose its $8 million per year.

Yeah doesn't make much sense, Arniel reminds me of Bones with his line up choices at times, your top 6 should always have as much skill guys as possible, I would run something like the below if Ehlers is out.

KFC-Scheifs-Vilardi
Fetts-Lambo-Nino
Barron-Kupari-Apples
Gus-Vlad-Iafallo

But WTF do I know, I am just an armchair coach.

Count me in for the liking this line adjustment!

There was once an NHL team Kanas City Scouts. They are now New Jersey.

With no Lowry we are likely to be a little bit successful for the next stretch while he's out.
Wait... that's how you would describe our recent play with him in the lineup... gulp.
Hopefully anger, embarrassment & revenge are great motivators.

We need the #1 line to save us and for one of Cole's many shots that hit the post to bounce in instead.
When we win... we dance...
