'Go None Of The Aboves!' Why NHL Utah's Three Name Options Leave A Lot To Be Desired
What is it about names for professional sports teams in Utah? In basketball, they have the Jazz, and in hockey, they could have a name that means frozen penis.
Because of trademark issues, the Utah Hockey Club could not use 'Yeti' as its nickname because of the cup company. It's interesting that a team that is so far from the Cup gets scuttled once again by a company that makes cups.Anyway, the three they have up for a fan vote are:
Mammoth
Wasatch (which could be derived from a Ute word meaning "low place in high mountains" or "frozen penis," depending on the source)
Hockey Club
Perhaps they should just stick with Hockey Club.

Panthers fans, many eager to attend Game 3, cheer as Florida evens Stanley Cup Final
Go Cats Go! The chants roared in Sunrise Friday, and they're only going to get louder next week. While the Florida Panthers breaking the hearts of Edmonton Oilers fans in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final up in Alberta, their delirious fans were warming up the barn by the swamp for their team's return to Broward County. The defending champs got the all-important split in Edmonton thanks to a thrilling 5-4 double-overtime victory Friday. Game 3 is back in Sunrise Monday, and if Game 2's Panthers watch party was any preview, expect a wild atmosphere. The lower level, packed for the start of the game, was far emptier when Brad Marchand ended it more than four hours later. But they made a major ruckus when the game winner went through the pipes. As a result, the Panthers don't need to win another road game if they take care of business in the swamp. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. This has all the makings of a series going seven games -- again. The Panthers and Oilers are as evenly matched as two teams can get. So if these teams go the distance for the Cup for a second straight year, Amerant Bank will be the place to be. Particularly for fans on a budget. The $15 entry fee for Friday's watch party – which benefitted the Florida Panthers Foundation – is pittance compared to the steep bill for Games 3, 4, and 6 (should the series get that far). 'This year, the prices have like tripled,' said Lorenzo Echeverria, 22, of Boca Raton. Echeverria was part of a big group that made the trip down the Sawgrass for Games 1 and 2. And he ponied up $500 for a seat in the last row of the building for Game 3. 'I didn't go the last couple of years, I was like, this year, I don't care what the prices we going. With Game 6, I think it is starting in like $1,000 I love the Panthers, but I got loans.' And an extensive wardrobe. Echeverria isn't a superstitious guy, but after the Panthers blew a 3-1 lead in Game 1, he changed up his threads. He went with the Matthew Tkachuk Four Nations Team USA sweater Friday night. After Florida's riveting come-from-behind win, he might never wash it. 'I think if we play our best hockey, there's no reason we go back-to-back.' Jackson Drowos, 13, wore his personalized Panthers jersey to the arena Friday. He'll wear it again to Games 3 and 4 – without laundering. Jackson's favorite player? Sam Bennett, who scored his 13th postseason goal in the first period Friday. His favorite part of Panthers games, which he attends with his dad Bryan? 'The atmosphere.' Credit the Panthers staff for making a game on TV feel like the real thing Friday night.

Brad Marchand is the double-OT hero, as Panthers edge Oilers to even Stanley Cup Final
COREY PERRY!! WE'RE GOING TO OVERTIME!! 😱 🇺🇸: 🇨🇦: — NHL (@NHL) Much like last year and the playoff run to this point, Sergei Bobrovsky was dialed in when he was needed the most — making some unreal saves while stopping 42 of the 46 shots he faced. His teammates provided the necessary goal support. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Along with Marchand, Sam Bennett scored his postseason-leading 13th goal and NHL record 12th on the road. Seth Jones scored into a wide-open net after some spectacular tic-tac-toe passing, and fellow defenseman Dmitry Kulikov tied it with a shot through traffic that Stuart Skinner almost certainly did not see. Advertisement Kulikov's goal came after Florida controlled play for several minutes in the second period, hemming Edmonton in its zone shift after shift and piling up a 34-13 advantage in shot attempts during the period. Marchand's OT goal was his 10th career goal in the final to lead all active players. Game 3 is Monday night as the teams traverse the continent and play shifts to Sunrise, Fla. Advertisement The Panthers wrested home-ice advantage away from the Oilers by splitting the first two, rebounding from a Game 1 overtime loss and asserting they won't go quietly against Draisaitl and Connor McDavid looking like they'll do everything in their power to hoist the Cup for the first time. Of course, those stars had their moments. They assisted on Evan Bouchard's goal when coach Kris Knoblauch put them on the ice together, and McDavid stickhandled through multiple defenders in highlight-reel fashion to set up Draisaitl scoring on the power play. Connor McDavid is a human cheat code 😳 🇺🇸: 🇨🇦: — NHL (@NHL) There were a lot of those — 10 in total — after officials whistled 14 penalties, including three in the first four minutes. Each team had a few calls it was not happy with, though most of that evened out over the course of the game.
