:) That's who came to mind when I saw this thread. I was watching a highlight show a little while back and the started to talk about the Pelicans and it totally caught me by surprise, I had no idea they existed. After googling, I found they existed for a good year before I became aware of their existence.

The same could never happen in hockey. I probably think of Minnesota the least, being a Western Conf team.

Everybody please forget about the Flyers this season. Then hopefully in the future we can pretend this horrific display never happened.

I don't think I've ever forgotten a team was there.

Carolina is probably the team I know about/think about the very least.

cant really see a fan forgetting about a team existing... only thing that comes close for me is that I still(and probably will always) call them Phoenix Coyotes... Arizona Coyotes doesn't roll off my tongue naturally

And weirdly enough, "mighty ducks" comes out of my mouth to the day sometimes
Same here.

In the NBA, I really forgot where the Kings are from the other week. Also "newer" teams like the Pelicans. I'm still somewhat stuck in the 90s since that's when I really followed the NBA.

Watching the skills comp yesterday, during player intros, saw Vrbata and thought "Oh right, Vancouver!"

After the division's got shuffled they totally slipped my mind for a few months.

Ever since they switched up the divisions Minnesota is the one that seemed to get lost in the shuffle.

I don't forget teams that don't exist, but there are teams I don't really watch a lot of when it comes to GCL. The team that most fits this description are the Colorado Avalanche. I know Duchane, Varlomov and O'Rielly are on the team, but I don't think I know anyone else.

I can never remember the name of the team that plays in Manhattan. Do they still have a team? Honestly, there are many teams that I don't think about often but I haven't forgotten their existence.
