What an embarrassment that "Hockey Club" is even one of the finalists.
A team with no name... how do you even rally behind that.

Soccer / Football have been doing it all over the world for years ?

bobbinka 01-29-2025 09:50 PM

i think they just include it to give the illusion that there are 3 options, when really there are only 2.

IMO, since hockey is a significantly smaller market than soccer, the organization needs anything/everything it can to sell more things. having an animal/creature/thing gives you so much more to work with. also helps build life long fans with kids

and anyway... given that they already are the Utah Hockey Club, it's not like they can't still use it if they end up being the Utah Mammoths. You get the best of both worlds.

Gumby 01-29-2025 09:54 PM

Unfortunately, “Mammoths” doesn’t roll off the tongue…

Yeah, if the image of being a soccer team is exactly what they're trying to go for in the NHL.

68style 01-30-2025 05:38 AM

Yah I think it’s stupid too but soccer fans have shown you can still rally like absolute loons even without a mascot name hahaha

I had to look up what a Wasatch even is… indigenous name for a mountain pass. Doesn’t exactly stir the soul.

How about Utah Mormoths lol

utah hockey club of latter day saints

whitev70r 01-30-2025 07:13 AM

Even Utah Saints would be better than any of the 3.

Apparently, State animal is Elk ... Utah Elks, not the greatest but even with that, it's still better than any of the 3 finalists.

Like wth is a 'Wasatch'? Oh, it's a mountain range ... !!!

spoon.ek9 01-30-2025 04:24 PM

it would be funny if fans just chant Utah Yeti to spite that company. Also sounds like something Jets fans would chant to mock them :considered:

spoon.ek9 01-30-2025 05:39 PM

Boqvist being waived by Florida. RHD chosen directly after Hughes back in 2018. Dude is most definitely looking like a bust but there's an argument to be made that he's probably still better than Juulsen/Deharnais lol. I think we could do worse with a guy in a $775,000 contract.

pastarocket 01-30-2025 08:04 PM

Kuzy is going to play for Torts in Philadelphia haha. Friedman reports that Kuzmenko waived his no trade clause so that the trade to the Flyers would go through.

End of his NHL career? Lol

spoon.ek9 01-30-2025 08:33 PM

I really don't think he's gonna have a good time in Philly with Torts... Wish him the best! :badpokerface:

bobbinka 01-30-2025 09:13 PM

His contract ends this year, so he'll only need to survive a few months with Torts, lol.

They probably told him he was either going to get sent down or be scratched every night in Calgary.

AzNightmare 01-31-2025 01:56 AM

He's probably heading back to the KHL after this season anyway.

bobbinka 01-31-2025 01:52 PM

Salary cap to increase from $88mil to $113mil over next 3 seasons.

Yay, we can afford to keep QH

unit 01-31-2025 02:09 PM

yay for gambling ads

Razor Ramon HG 01-31-2025 03:05 PM

Miller to Rangers

68style 01-31-2025 03:05 PM

Miller is scratched for Dallas game, waived his no trade clause and going to NYR

Hondaracer 01-31-2025 03:07 PM

For fuck sakes.. man if Petey doesn’t regain form this is gonna turn out terribly

xxxrsxxx 01-31-2025 03:20 PM

oh boy, interested to see what we got in return...

fsy82 01-31-2025 03:21 PM

Lets see what the return is. Miller has been a great player since he came. But hes not getting younger.

SkinnyPupp 01-31-2025 03:27 PM

I think the goal should be to get someone young back in, rather than someone who is at the same level, and let someone else take over as leader.

So I am not getting my hopes up for a big name that will come in and lead them to The Cup.

I could be wrong though, this is just my thought on it

bobbinka 01-31-2025 03:30 PM

they'll probably flip the 1st rounder for something else before the deadline. i also suspect boeser will be gone.
