Introducing the Seattle Kraken!

[Foppberg]

Not having the name related to Seattle will help when they lose the team to Oklahoma City

??? Oklahoma? Lol

 

[al secord]

Regardless of the name, I can't wait for Team Captain Tyler Bozak to skate out to center ice for game one!

 

[Foppberg]

Why would the trolls have taken over because of a name?

Because he's upset and needs someone to blame lol

 

[ArmadilloThumb]

Doesn't the natives in the area have any sea monster legend you can use instead of the norse one? Is there a lot of scandis in Seattle?

The natives in Washington state and the region do have a legend... Would make a great name and mascot too...

It was a joke about how Seattle lost their NBA team to Oklahoma City

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Seattle Redskins?

Somehow "The Seattle Daryls" just doesn't stir up strong sporting emotions ...

Does it matter? There's not a lot of lakes in LA, and Calgary is not known for it's heat or it's city burning down.

How is Kings related to lakes? Calgary point is valid, but two wrongs does not make a right.

Wow you are dense, ever heard of the Lakers?

 

[Richard88]

You might wanna look at the reveal video a little more closely second time through.

Are they dumping a dead body?

Seattle Assassins FTW!

 

[Richard88]

Kind of like the moon landing then...

 

[Richard88]

The Seattle Software Developers.

Seattle Hardware

Seattle Computer Servers

Seattle Motherboards

 

[Richard88]

Is there going to be a live broadcast of some sort to announce the name? Or are they just going to do it on twitter or on their website?

 

[Dan Kelly]

Seattle Redskins?

THAT would go over well in today's world, wouldn't it?

Trash post. f*** is wrong with you.

 

[Jee]

ABOUT FREAKING TIME, O M G

 

[Captain Bowie]

The most important thing I got from the video was the Seattle team is totally gonna steal the Canucks goal horn.

 

[mattihp]

Basketball isn't that big here. How many swedish floorball teams do you keep track on and expect to be referred to in discussions regarding swedish ice hockey?

Franchises in basketball seem much more prone to moving, rebranding once and again might be more of a cost there and I don't feel it is relevant in a thread about hockey.

W're not discussing swedish hockey or floorball. We're discussing North American pro sports names. The Lakers are the biggest name in basketball, a sport more global than hockey even. They are the Yankees, Cowboys, or Mann U of b-ball.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Based on the video, I would guess Sockeye

That was my first thought the second it started too.

 

[Lorenzo1000]

lol a couple of tweets down..."Rain City Bitch Pigeons"

I'm hoping for Kraken but will probably be disappointed.

On the other hand this is pretty funny.
