    I just noticed this recently (like in the past year or two). How come on tv the boards along the rink change advertisements but in person they don't? Just weird. :neutral:

    I always try to hit the 30-second rewind when I'm at a game and it never works.

    two things….

    I grew up just outside of columbus. I lived in vegas for 32 years and my team is VGK but I still follow CBJ. how did they lose their best(?) player and somehow get markedly better?

    secondly…the utah hockey club (where I live now). fuck them and their billionaire owner who got almost a billion of public money from his mormon buddies in the utah legislature. they were doing a fan vote for a team name. the choices were UHC, mammoth and wasatch. after one round of voting, they dropped wasatch and replaced it with outlaws. yes, there were outlaws roaming utah back in day but it’s a terrible name in our “righteous” state. I think vegas used it when they had an XFL team. :angry:

    I was wondering WTF is a wasatch? they need to go with Mammoth. No one's gonna buy any team merch that just says "hockey club" on it. What's the mascot? Just a random dude with regular clothes on?

    I don't mind Outlaws.  You're very angry about this though.  If I were you, I'd be happy I have an NHL franchise I can go see whenever I want.  I really miss going to Lightning games and now if I want to go to a game, it's the Caps who I despise and the ticket prices are astronomical.

    the wasatch mountains. word was, if they went with that name, the mascot would be a yeti/abominal snowman. I actually don’t mind UHC….just like WFT was waaaaaay better than commanders.

    I liked the Yeti's but didn't that get turned down for a Trademark so they had to kill that?

    and the name most likely won't be worse than the Utah Jazz.    Trade that name back to New Orleans and pick a new hoops name.

    Apparently, we have white pelicans in Utah. No great shock that they’re white.

    If you don't have any cool "local " names just pick a generic one.
    Better than a name nobody can pronounce, at first glance, or Hockey Club.
    The Utah Mountains, Snow, Skis, Snow Geese or sonethintmg basic like that.
    Funny like Wives, Near Beers, or Basements.

    I kinda like the Utah Mammoth. Utah Saints would have been cool. they could have used this as their song, providing the group would have allowed it.
