Naming a Team: The Story Behind the Blue Jackets Name - Columbus Blue Jackets - News

With help from the NHL, the Columbus franchise narrowed the 14,000 entries down to 10 names. Then with the information received from Mr. McConnell, the League and the franchise narrowed the list of potential names down to two – Blue Jackets and Justice.

Naming a Team: The Story Behind the Blue Jackets Name - Columbus Blue Jackets - News

The Columbus Justice. Wow. That is awful. I have a problem with any team name that can't be pluralized, but that one is exceptionally bad.

I wonder what the rest of the top ten final choices were. I remember thinking that Blue Jackets was an odd name. But spend one afternoon in the Veteran's memorial here and you start to get a sense of what the "Ohio Blue Jackets" meant.



But that stupid bee was a terrible idea. Better than the phallus cannon, but still... terrible. So a "Blue" jacket is a mutant bee?

Oof, they definitely made the right choice out of those two options. That would have been awful.

So, are you saying you have these:

I looked everywhere I went when I was in Vancouver for a Flying V. No luck though. Would have been awesome to wear around Charlotte. You'd immediately recognize a transplant if they knew what that was.

oof - they are soooo close

Kadri believed to be looking long-term (6 yrs in Tavares stratosphere of $5.5M per). Leafs want short, 2 yrs at P.K. Subban $ ($2.875M per).

He must be high.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

just heard on the radio that Kadri/his agent are using production for first 99 games as an nhl'er as the basis of the Tavares comparable

just looking at hockeydb

Kadri had 63 points in his first 99 nhl games
Tavares had 54 points in his first 82 games * ' **

*all in one season when compared to Kadri doing it over 4 seasons
** doing it as a 19 year old

so yah VeRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY comparable

good work bud

Since this has morphed of late into the Kadri thread:

jonasTSN1050: Also of note, Kadri had 17 goals/39 points in first 36 games, but only 2/9 over final 19. Which production is closer to real thing?

Hemsky is staying with the Oilers this season - Translation: Nobody else wants him.

Kadri discusses contract and his tweets with TSN's McKenzie
