Tabe Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I'm not crazy about the color scheme but love the name. Will almost certainly buy a jersey (road white). Kraken was far and away the popular choice, glad that's what they went with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Interesting in that the story I read (possibly on ESPN) was that they actually wanted Metropolitians as the ode to the original team but Bettman said no because he didn't want to have to rename the Divisions. And apparently the color scheme was Adidas' doing Quote Of the 31 existing teams in the NHL, 16 have some shade of blue in the logo. Adidas, however, felt that the Kraken's combination -- as well as the red accents -- makes it unique both among NHL teams, and other blue-centered teams in the Seattle market.

RIPPA Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Coyotes GM John Chayka has resigned And you can tell by the release the team is not happy Quote "John Chayka has quit as the General Manager and President of Hockey Operations of the Arizona Coyotes. The Club is disappointed in his actions and his timing as the Coyotes prepare to enter the NHL's hub city of Edmonton, where the team will begin post-season play for the first time since 2012," said the team in a statement. "Chayka has chosen to quit on a strong and competitive team, a dedicated staff, and the Arizona Coyotes fans, the greatest fans in the NHL." EDIT Quote According to Sportnet, the relationship between Chayka and the Coyotes became fractured when he sought a new opportunity outside the organization and then the team "resisted." According to a source, that opportunity may no longer be available to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Chakya released a counter-statement saying the ownership are a problem, basically. All the usual media idiots are playing the "there goes the analytics darling" card even though it's been pointed out hundreds of times Chakya is seen in the analytics community as a snake oil salesman no one actually knew who he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 The NHL has tried that twice and it resulted in the dumblefuck system we have now but sure let's triple down. Mike Smith fucking sucks and our team came out asleep, pretty awesome day. Glad I waited 4 months for this nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 ...and it looks like Scheifele blew out his ACL. Possibly from getting Matt Cooke-d by Tkachuk, but it is tough to tell on the replay. Hopefully it is not actually a blown out knee, but it looked pretty worse case scenario on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
