I like it. Although Seattle Grunge would have been better.Sounds like it's going to be the Seattle Kraken. Unless it's not.

Hoven went on to suggest he’d been told by a team source that the franchise had been leaning toward “Sockeyes” as a name, but he added that was nixed because of possible legal issues. Romance novel writer Jami Davenport of Shelton has a Seattle Sockeyes book series.
In a phone interview Wednesday, Davenport told The Seattle Times she has only a book-related trademark for the name, but nonetheless had her lawyer write the team a year ago inviting officials to discuss the issue. She filed for the Seattle Sockeyes trademark Dec. 21, 2017, two weeks after the group that became NHL Seattle was given permission by the league to apply for an expansion team, which was awarded a year later.
“He (Davenport’s lawyer) let them know that I was willing to work with them,” she said. “And we haven’t heard a thing.”
Davenport said she doesn’t like talking about the issue in public because of the undue attention it brings. But as a hockey fan, she has a deposit on NHL Seattle season tickets and wants the team to do well.
“I don’t like people thinking I’m the holdup here, because I’m not,” she said.
man, they were brutal tonight. that game was tough to watch. Detroit had 16 SOG and Helm had 6 of them. Bernier was only one to show up tonight.this Wings team might be putting up the best tank job in the history of the cap era. with a little luck they might hit below 40. impressive.
3 of their 12 wins against the habs. Lmao.Bill Brasky said:this Wings team might be putting up the best tank job in the history of the cap era. with a little luck they might hit below 40. impressive.
Battles of Alberta>>>>>>>Battles of OntarioBe interesting to see if there are any fireworks in this Calgary/Edmonton game tonight
lots of lower bowl open seats last night due to corporate tickets and seasonal affective disorder, as I understand itJaxBill said:man, they were brutal tonight. that game was tough to watch. Detroit had 16 SOG and Helm had 6 of them. Bernier was only one to show up tonight.
And they suck. In better news Gritty acquitted!!lots of lower bowl open seats last night due to corporate tickets and seasonal affective disorder, as I understand it

Easy access to Windsor strip clubs?Man that guy must really love Detroit to leave the Lightning and this Tampa weather for dreary winter Detroit and that team that has miles to go. I guess it’s home but most people get past that.
they actually aren’t into bad of a spot, especially if they land #1.

I know nothing at all but I thought I read it was really grim. Good prospect pool?they actually aren’t into bad of a spot, especially if they land #1. I could see them back in the playoffs within two years
The fact he seemed stunned and hurt after the first bump which appeared to be very slight would be a big concern to me.@reporterchris: Frederik Andersen has a neck injury and won't travel to NYC.
They have some fairly good prospects. Landing Lafreniere would be huge, but they still have some major holes on defense. Two years is probably a bit optimistic as it stands.I know nothing at all but I thought I read it was really grim. Good prospect pool?
I grew up watching Yzerman in Detroit, but the Lightning haven't really missed a beat since he left.Man that guy must really love Detroit to leave the Lightning and this Tampa weather for dreary winter Detroit and that team that has miles to go. I guess it’s home but most people get past that.
Certainly an impressive effort, but let's see them do it year after year like the Sabres!Bill Brasky said:this Wings team might be putting up the best tank job in the history of the cap era. with a little luck they might hit below 40. impressive.
FTFY - anyone will tell you that the extra 9 hour drive is absolutely worth it.Easy access toWindsorMontreal strip clubs?
It's as much as Hutchinson's total variability as it is a potential outage for Freddie that the Leafs are likely going to look much harder at Georgiev. Could see them making a play for Ryan Miller, too. As bad as this team needs a 2nd netminder, they need to find a way to shed Ceci, who continues to be a complete liability, for a serviceable RHD.I would never root for an injury or be happy about it. But the Rangers fan in me does question if Toronto bends on Georgie now that Andersen is hurt.
Hope he is OK though
Even through his showboating, dirty days, it's really, really hard to hate on Ovie. The guy is simply superb, and his dominance only grows.Ovechkin with 0 shots through 2 periods, scores a natural hat trick in about 6 minutes in the 3rd
14 goals in last 7 games. Now at 40 for the season, 698 for the career
JBB Didn't handle the goalie situation very well. And it's yet to be seen if he can continue the streak of cap friendly contracts.Kal El said:I grew up watching Yzerman in Detroit, but the Lightning haven't really missed a beat since he left.

Vasilevskiy is certainly one of the better goalies in the league, but the coaching for the position isn't great, and apparently hasn't been for a while.JBB Didn't handle the goalie situation very well. And it's yet to be seen if he can continue the streak of cap friendly contracts.

that's what Sabres fans thought tooBill Brasky said:they actually aren’t into bad of a spot, especially if they land #1. I could see them back in the playoffs within two years
Won't disagree with you there. Niagara Falls is pretty good too although I havent been to either city in years so not sure if times have changed.Stompin' Tom Connors said:FTFY - anyone will tell you that the extra 9 hour drive is absolutely worth it.
How's Dahlin been? We dont hear much about him. Seems to be way more hype about Hughes but Dahlin was supposed to be a game changer. Just bad environment or players surrounding him? Or maybe he has been very good and only quiet because its buffalo?that's what Sabres fans thought too
he had a bad first half of the year or so, but was still putting up points on the PP. been better since then. defensemen typically take longer to develop so I'm not too worried about him. he's still really young.How's Dahlin been?

Thanks. Was just curious. With Makar and Hughes getting so much press I started to wonder what's up with RD.he had a bad first half of the year or so, but was still putting up points on the PP. been better since then. defensemen typically take longer to develop so I'm not too worried about him. he's still really young.
yeah, he's not at their level right now but also not being asked to do too much either. I think he should probably get more time than the 19 minutes/game he's been getting.Thanks. Was just curious. With Makar and Hughes getting so much press I started to wonder what's up with RD.
ankle breaker!Dach dangled Brodin so hard he toe picked into the corner last night and he's one of the best skaters in the league. Blackhawks still suck though. except Stan.
I can't believe the season Wisconsin is having. what a disappointment. Caufield has been fantastic though.I'm off to UofM Friday to watch M play the Badgers. As a Habs "fan" I'm looking forward to watch Caufield in person. Earlier speculation was that they may try to sign him after the college season ends - although that may be doubtful now. Montreal needs him to be the scorer he looks to be. Also want to see Dhooghe as my son used to play against him. I'm disappointed for him that he never grew. He has so much talent.
I don't follow US college all that much but with all their NHL drafted players and, what, 3 first rounders? I definitely would have expected them to be one of the top teams .I can't believe the season Wisconsin is having. what a disappointment. Caufield has been fantastic though.
I think Miller is overrated and Turcotte has been underwhelming, but there is way too much talent on that roster to be sitting last in that division. like recent years they still can't keep the puck out of their net.I don't follow US college all that much but with all their NHL drafted players and, what, 3 first rounders?

He hasn't been gone that long. Not that I expect them to fall apart, but it isn't like they have made a lot of changes since he left either.Kal El said:I grew up watching Yzerman in Detroit, but the Lightning haven't really missed a beat since he left.
He was semi-retired for a few years, and JBB was making the decisions before he left to go back to Detroit.He hasn't been gone that long. Not that I expect them to fall apart, but it isn't like they have made a lot of changes since he left either.
He spent one year as a senior adviser, not "a few years". Regardless it isn't worth arguing over. He definitely wasn't single-handedly propping them up.He was semi-retired for a few years, and JBB was making the decisions before he left to go back to Detroit.
