Yeah it's not mindblowing or particularly ground breaking but I'm happy with the overall concept and am curious to see where they go with it from here.

Are they planning on covering the seat sections or something?

They should have some form of virtual audience participation, maybe a big screen across from the benches which is some sort of twitch chat stream.

I mean who really knows what a Blue Jacket is? Hell what’s the over/under on % of people (Americans) that know what a bruin is? I’d take the under at 50%. Flyer? Red wing?? You think most people know what a kraken is??

geoducks would be a great name and the logo would be even better, and think about all the Freudian slips Pierre would have

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,

Yep, "Golden Triangle" is one of the nicknames for the downtown area what with the bridges and what have you. Had to look that up, good memory.

Edit apparently it harkens back to when the French and English were fighting over it in the 1700s

Disappointed we didn't name our NHL team the Seattle Freeze, our logo could have been a man in a hoodie looking down at his feet(socks with sandals for that authentic Seattle feel) while walking.

Excited to get NHL in Seattle,can't wait for the draft.

Yeah, he spent a year tying to convince Westpoint to let them be the Black Knights and only reluctantly settled on the Golden Knights when they refused.

While we are at city references in logos , the Flyers logo is a “P” , which is referencing the city of Philadelphia that they play in.

My favourite thing about the Flyers is that they held a contest to name the team and they didn't feel that season tickets were a good enough prize so they gave that to the runner up. The winner got a TV.

Read an article speculating that the Caps will likely sacrifice TJ Oshie to the Kracken in the expansion draft. We can’t keep all our expensive aging stars, he’s a native of Washington state and still has brand power they could use to sell tickets.

Oshie to the Kraken is all but a given, Seattle would be nuts not to select him even with that contract. Tyler Johnson from Tampa is a strong possibility too. And uh Loui Eriksson has deep ties to Washington state.

Treliving has always talked around that and the sense is that Lucic would waive it for Seattle.

I'm a Flames fan so I'm used to perpetual mediocrity and disappointment... I'm sure we'll lose Kylington in order to protect 10 goals and 20 points a season.

But the intangibles ... oh the intangibles.... I mean he punched a couple of guys in the face last season and only got suspended for it once I think. You just can't replace that.

Yeah -- to add: Tyler Johnson is from Spokane and played for the Spokane Chiefs. If he's available, I'd be shocked if they don't take him.


For that reason, Seattle will also hire Mike Babcock.
