ScottM Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'd be surprised if it's not Markham. They have that $300 million arena underway, and the the Sabres are hostile toward a team in Hamilton. Plus, I doubt Bettman would let a team be put there just out of spite toward Balsillie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Ok time to start making up names for these potential teams. I will start with a few (this may need a separate thread, I will leave that up to the mods: SeattleThe Seattle GrungeThe Seattle Flying Fish (in homage to Pike Place Market)The Seattle Drizzle (hey, I lived there for a year, it was grim)The Seattle Supersuckers (great band, who actually moved to Seattle from Arizona in the late 1980s, that's where I saw them anyway)QuebecThe Quebec Poutine (let's just get that out of the way)The Quebec SeparatistesThe Quebec FLQ (that could get me in trouble)The Quebec Quiche LorraineLas VegasThe Las Vegas HangoversThe Las Vegas ElvisesThe Las Vegas Shotgun Weddings (think of the uniforms!) The Las Vegas Strip (I like that actually)The Las Vegas VolumeToronto (Markham)The Toronto 2.0The Toronto Real (like, dude, they are a real hockey team)The Toronto Crack (ok, Rob Ford is from Etobicoke, but still)The Markham MoronsOk, most of those are lame. Surely youse all can do better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 @Podein25 Due to the transient nature of the Vegas population, I think the Vegas Vagabonds would be a real nice fit, and it does kinda roll off your tongue. Plus, it gives the team an underdog persona in a way...I just love the way it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 @jammer2 I don't mind that. It's better than the Las Vegas Venereal Diseases that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Seattle Suicides. Quebec Putins. Las Vegas Siegfrieds. Ontario Whosoevers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 @Podein25 How about they embrace the sin city moniker and go with the Vegas Vilified? Could also be a play on the NHL Board of Governors dislike for the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 In all seriousness, I won't be surprised if the call the Las Vegas team the "Gamblers." It would be appropriate not only because of the gambling in the city, but because of the stupid gamble Bettman is making by putting a team there.

ScottM Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm all for that Seattle name if it means we ditch this ridiculous name for a division... I didn't think about the division name. I was just thinking about going throwback to the old PCHA team name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Too bad Winterpeg has the Jets .... that would be a good one for the Seattle team. Jet City...Boeing reference, even though i think the HQ is now in the St Louis MO. what about the Seattle Grunge. ? or Clippers ? I think the Vegas team should go tongue and cheek with 50's "old Vegas" reference, the WIse Guys , Outlaws, Hitmen or Whales... I got nothing for another Tronno team, and I always liked the Nordiques for Quebec . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStraw Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 @Podein25 Seattle "Blue Screens of Death"Las Vegas "Aces" - if LV beats LA 3-2 in front of a sellout crowd the headline reads "Full House, Aces over Kings!".

mojo1917 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 @JackStraw i like the Aces... a lot. well done @Podein25 i thought about the CTL+ ALT+ DELETES ... but didn't think it would look good on a touk . and the swoosh would cause beef with Portland, Oregon (Beaverton actually) since that is where Nike is located.
