    That patch was Adam's Foote.

    Maybe Diamonds. Don’t put black. I know it’s  a skiing thing...

    Oh, for Pete's sake.  BLACK DIAMONDS.  SKIING.  HIGHEST DIFFICULTY.  I was wondering what hat they drew that name out of.  NOW I get it...

    (I'm not being sarcastic.  I really am that dumb...)  😵

    I would like to see Verbeek aggressive with the 3OA, especially if Edmonton gets knocked out in round 2.   Package it with Gibson and Fowler and target Draisaitl.

    Thrilling idea!  However, with McDavid and Draisaitl joined at the hip for the rest of eternity, understandably, it would take a lot more than that offer to pry Draisaitl away from the Oilers.

    (Snarky alert)  The Oilers might consider the offer if they didn't have to take Gibson and Fowler...  🤐

    In fact I’d argue the exact opposite.

    Wait.  I'm confused.  It sounds like you AGREEING with tommer-1.  Anyway, it's my opinion that the payroll of a hockey team is insignificant to what the Samuelis are spending on OC Vibe.  I don't think it will make any difference in the quality (or lack of) of the Ducks team.

    Might as well start a thread about the NHL's newest team!

    Looks like we have some possible names for the Utah "(blanks)."  Here's some excerpts from yesterdays newspaper:

    "Ownership of the NHL's team in Utah have given fans twenty choices to vote on for the franchise's new name..."

    "...the team will have a name starting with 'Utah.'"

    "The inaugural season will feature jerseys with the name of the state on them, with a name, logo and colors to debut for 2025-26..."

    "The options (name) provided for are..."

    "Frost, Ice, Powder, Mountaineers, Freeze, Mammoth, Black Diamonds, Blast, Caribou, Blizzard, Swarm, Hive, Outlaws, Yeti, Squall, Fury, Glaciers, Canyons, Venom, and "HC" which stands for "Hockey Club."

    ---------------------------

    OK - MY thoughts.  Eeesh, some of theses names are terrible - ha ha!  Given Mormon association with honeybees, I'll predict the chosen name will be the "Utah Hive."  My personal choice would be the "Utah Mountaineers."

    All the games Toronto have won in this series have been by one goal.  All of Boston's wins are by more than one.  Therefore, in my highly inaccurate way of predicting, I predict Boston will win game seven by a score of 3-1.

    The favorite teams in Canada are Montreal and Edmonton? Sorry but Toronto has more fans here then either of them and Vancouver/Calgary fan base would be similar to Edmonton.

    Well, good point.  Let me rephrase.  The Canadian teams with the most Stanley Cups since black and white TV are Montreal and Edmonton.

    You believe the lottery is rigged? If that's the case then why did the NHL put McDavid in Edmonton.

    (For the sake of argument here, let's say the lottery IS rigged.)

    The powers at be were having a confab...  "You know, I just can't believe that Canada hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1993.  This is a TRAVESTY.  What shall we do?"  "I know, let's let a Canadian team win the lottery a few times.  That'll do it!"  "But who?"  "Well, the favorite teams in Canada are Montreal and Edmonton.  Montreal won it last.  Let's give Edmonton a turn.  It'll be like old times - Gretzky, Kurri, Messier.  Whadaya think?"  "Sounds good boss, let's do it!"

    Fast forward a few years...  "Gentlemen, we're in a quandry.  One of our original six teams is losing both Toews AND Kane."  "Oh no, what will we do?"  "I know, lets have Chicago win the lottery a few times.  That ought to do it."  "Sounds good boss, let's do it!"

    Henry and Susan hate people who eat hot dogs.   Why are the prices of hot dogs so gosh darn high ?   Obviously they hate Glizzy Guzzlers.   Why don’t they have bacon wrapped hot dogs ?   Obviously they hate people who enjoy street dogs.   Why are cops at the games ?   Obviously to try and make the street vendors afraid and leave before serving delicious street dogs !!!!   Boycott Ducks Hockey until Henry and Susan apologize for hating Hot Dog Eaters!

    THANKS PIL!!!  Now I'm hungry for a hot dog...  🤬

    That was a cool video!  I didn't know that's how they get rid of the ice.  A channel that they push the water into - neato!  BTW, most non-hockey people are surprised to find out that the ice is only about 3/4 inch thick.  (About 19mm for our metric friends...)
