Nice! Gunnarsson hit the post earlier square on, good to see him get it this time!
What you guys think of Tippett coaching Edmonton? He seems like a good guy to play for....... but I hardly think coaching has been the issue for Edmonton.

- it's not trendy or gimicky like some of the other names
- I imagine nothing would piss off Evergreen State College students more than being indirectly associated with a corporate contact sport rife with "white privilege" | Evergreen would be a great name, but I worry that their colors are going to be far too similar to Vancouver's colors. As much as I dislike the Predators colors, at least they broke away from the standard red, blue, and green that everyone wears.
That said, their history is strong. The early 1900's Metropolitans, the WHA Totems, and the current PCAHA minor hockey group, the Seattle Thunderbirds. 
It looks like the colors have almost always been forest and ocean based. Quote:

4 distinctly different logos since 1970, and a ton of color changes. Granted, the late 90's were a strange time to be a hockey fan as everyone was creating both good, and terrible jerseys.
I still like Tanker McTankface though.  | |

-rumours about Benning inquiring about d-man Zaitsev:
Rick Dhaliwal @DhaliwalSports
Source : #Canucks are busy working phones on the trade market. They checked in on the price for Toronto defenseman Nikita Zaitsev who is getting lots of interest.

I do not feel bad for Boston when the refs make mistakes that cost them. Historically they’ve been given special treatment so

The ref that fucked them over tonight was the same motherfucker that gave Daniel a 10 minute unsportsmanlike penalty during the Stanley Cup Finals when Marchand used his face as a punching bag.

I hope to see an OT next game.
If I'm correct, I don't think there has ever been a SCF Game 7 OT in history before.
