this is Toronto's year. cup with an asterisk and no parade :D

We'll have a parade. If we can gather in the streets for BLM we will certainly riot for the Leafs.

And the good news is, if it happens this year---I'll be able to go.

Although the league hasn't announced it, it's being widely reported that the NHL's two hub cities will be Toronto and Edmonton.  Vegas, which had seemed like the front-runner all along, has been axed because of spiking Covid numbers.  And the finals themselves will be in Edmonton.

In other news, free agency, which normally starts July 1, will not happen November 1.  Which tells you the 2020-2021 season isn't happening until 2021.

Nope - according to Bob Mackenzie it's going to be in Edmonton.

Oh FFS. This was the best chance they'll ever get.

Such a lame name.

Should've been the Thunderbirds, or if they insist on having a name with no "S" on the end then the "Grunge".

Seattle Kraken is an awesome name! :mad:

And I do like that they listened to fan feedback (Kraken got lots of attention), rather than the owner just going with his own personal preference (looking at you Vegas) <_<

I like the name and the design/colors. :)

Unfortunately I don't care about hockey. :(

There are some cool and fairly subtle design elements I missed until they were pointed out:

-The S shaped logo goes back to the logo of the Seattle Metropolitans which was the first US-based team to win the Stanley Cup back in 1917

-the anchor shoulder logo forms into the space of the Space Needle

Even after Germany's miracle run at the 2018 Olympics? :(

What is wrong with hockey? It is like soccer only with big sticks and fighting.

The what? :unsure:

I used to really been into the Olympics, esp. Winter Games, but not since 2006 or so. Too commercialized and gigantomanic these days.

I used to watch the hockey World Championships in the 80s, and German hockey league in the 90s, but I lost interest since.

Germany beat Canada and won the silver medal in 2018. It was ridiculous.
