Someone else's name, apparently.

So...like the Jets then...

And your team just stole Georgia Tech's name and changed it from Yellow to Blue. Thieves.

Can the Army have a trademark on something like that? Because if not, there's really nothing they can do about it.

One would assume this is what the Army is "looking into".

And your team just stole Georgia Tech's name and changed it from Yellow to Blue. Thieves.

????

This is a coherent argument?

The Capitals stole their name from the word we use to signify the changing of the first letter of a word in order to convey that the word represents a proper noun!

 

[Duke of Douchington]

This is a coherent argument?

No. It's a joke.

The point is, EVERY name will be taken, unless you just name yourself the "Vegas Pine Cone Farts" or something. The Leafs have their "military" connection, as do the Jackets. Flaming fucking christ that you can't have "Knights" and put a color in front of it without some group that no one knows about until it goes "mainstream" with a hockey team announcement.

I agree to a point, but the team didn't make it easy on itself by demanding that "Knights" be included in the name. Narrows the field of view considerably.

Plus, they could have at least Googled to see someone if someone else well known uses it. If some Pinochle club in Grand Forks uses it, meh. But the US Army? Probably should have chosen something else.



And in other news, here is why Jeff Skinner has been so motivated.

Never underestimate the power of chocolate milk.

Never underestimate the power of chocolate milk.

Truer words have never been spoken.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Maybe if my parents had given me chocolate milk after games when I was young I would've gone pro

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I had never seen a hockey game get promo'd as "Player X totally shut down Player Y last time they met, will Player X be able to do it again?!" until I saw the TSN ads for Leafs-Oilers about Kadri and McDavid.

/They gave up on that Matthews-McDavid rivalry pretty fast, huh.

 

[Duke of Douchington]

I just noticed I double posted. What poor message board etiquette. Hopefully a backup AHL goalie doesnt beat me up.

I'm no fan of Kadri, but I hope he's in McDavid's grill all game long tonight.

He was all over him last time. Might be a little tougher for Babcock to match the lines on the road though.

 

[Comeds]

I was always given carob milk, probably explains some things.

Never underestimate the power of chocolate milk.

Chocolate milk + Golf course south of Atlanta = Disaster of tsunamic proportions.

Learned this one the hard way. Went to an LPGA tour event and it was 90F and humid. Like an idiot, I drank some of the free chocolate milk a local dairy was giving away to spectators. I did not make it to the porty-a-potty in time.

And that's all I have to say about that.

I guess you could say Dave had to take an unplayable.

 

[tducey]

Chocolate milk's where its at. Oh and looks like Eichel may be back tonight vs. Ottawa

Maybe he will ride McD like a pony for 59 minutes. In the 60th minute Lucic rips his face off and wears it as a hat. Then he uses his tongue to paint his boat.

Works for me.
