Mr.TaterSalad Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I'm giving up on the Quebec argument for now, even though I still believe in my heart they deserve a team before another southern team gets added. But if the NHL wants to expand beyond the relocation to Utah then I'd love to see Milwaukee get a team. They have 2 million people in and around the Milwaukee-Racine area. Wisconsinites have proven they will support hockey with the Badgers NCAA team, the Admirals in the AHL, and fan support for both the Blackhawks and Wild. Plus, kids and families grow up playing the sport of hockey in the state. I'd give a team to Milwaukee before Atlanta or Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like there is a serious group of investors pushing to finance and bring a franchise to Milwaukee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 So at the dinner-dance after our daughter's high school grad the other day they played Don't Stop Believin' and even Vancouver teens like to sing the South Detroit part. 16 years to the day since the Wings' won their last Cup, in '08. When my daughter had just turned 2. Bookends. I'm a sappy ol' dad ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still a kid myself, in middle school, and it wasn’t until I saw him losing his mind that I understood the gravity of winning the Cup. If I’d known the Detroit sports drought to come I may have savored it more. Alas. Go Lions(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Just like that Edmonton comes to life. Bob is something else. They are going to need a deflection in front or some McJesue magic to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothfacekilla Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Screw the Capitals, cry poor when they have to build a new arena but have the money to buy a site just to shut it down.

lordstanley Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 This is the point in the series every year when someone at HFBoards will post “was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” and some European who doesn’t get the reference mocks him for his supposed ignorance of history.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) So the team name for the Utah team is Hockey Club and their logo is the shape of the State of Utah with the word Utah on it. Really uninspiring choice for their team name and a very bland and unoriginal logo. Edited June 14 by Mr.TaterSalad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 If it's just a temporary, transition name that's fine then. I just had a hard time believing this is what the fans chose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothfacekilla Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Ya they are just using this for a season while fans vote on their real branding, which seems to just be an elaborate way to build a big email database for the team's marketing department 😂. I feel like more effort could have gone into it (it seriously looks like something you'd get from a website you found googling "free sports logo"), but in the end it won't really matter since it is temporary.

Hongbit Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I want to hate everything about it but it’s actually pretty average. Not horrible and not great, which is probably what you’d want for a temporary placeholder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Just now, gehringer_2 said: It's good to play next to a Hughes Reinforces how devastating a move it was to select Zadina one pick ahead of Hughes. As bad as Pistons Darko right ahead of Carmelo, Bosh, Wade and Lions Ebron ahead of Aaron Donald, OBJ, and Lewan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
