Sure hope they get a better name than Metropolitans.


Sure hope it's nothing to do with Fucking Starbucks neither.


Sure hope they rape our roster again.

I think Bombers is a better choice than Metropolitans, and would still work with Boeing up there. The league should have rule that doesn’t allow a team and division to share a name

I like the sound of Seattle Bombers, but NO WAY in this day and age does the NHL allow such a politically incorrect name as Bombers.  I mean with the pussification (thanks for this one DC...it's gonna get worn out on these boards) of the league and all, they will have to have something like Seattle Protected Rainwaters or something.

I think Alan May won the name contest:  The Grinders  (https://mobile.twitter.com/mayhockeynbcs/status/1070035803508748290)


But someone will say thats offensive to EU and/or “not the kind of hockey we (the NHL) wants to endorse”
