Rocky Mountain Xtreme

Part of the mountain range is in Utah, so the name could work.

Cities that tried to get the Coyotes but failed:

- Kansas City
- Hamilton

- Winnipeg

- Seattle

- Quebec City

- Houston

- Likely more that I’m forgetting/we don’t know about

The city that finally got them:

- Salt Lake City

 

I think Utah will be a pretty good hockey market, I’m just shocked they were the ones to get it done after so long. I really hate it for the the Coyotes fans… but it was time. It had been time for a while. Maybe they get a second chance down the road and make use of it, or not and they just become Atlanta 2.

 

Sucks, but it also doesn’t. Yknow?

It comes off to me like Gary Bettman didn't want the team to leave the area, so the goal was to move them to the closest city nearby that had a suitable arena, regardless of whether there was a demand for hockey or not.

Quebec was off the table, no matter how many tens of thousands of fans showed up to support their minor league team. But I was initially surprised Houston was not the chosen destination.

Are there any Coyotes in Utah?

Still, Utah Coyotes and Salt Lake City Coyotes doesn't sound good. Relocation was inevitable. But getting their own identity would be better.

Even their basketball team took New Orleans' identity. Both of their big 4 pro sports teams have a brand that used to belong to someone else.

Kyle Shanahan is never going to erase 28-3 now.  

SF was 1 play away from a Championship. That's how close it was.

The 1st 3 quarters were boring. But it was a crazy overtime with many close calls!

I wonder what will get resolved first: the Coyotes new arena or the A's move to Las Vegas, because right now both of them are disasters.  

The Coyotes were having issues, even when they had a building of their own. At this point, I don't know if it ever gets resolved.

The Atlanta Flames became the Calgary Flames.

The Atlanta Thrashers became the Winnipeg Jets.

The *insert 3rd Atlanta franchise* will become the Quebec Nordiques.

Congrats, Lions! 2024

Holy !

The Chiefs are the Patriots of this decade.

Great game

Great game if you're a Chiefs fan...

That was brutal.

Never said they did.

But if the team had stayed in Minnesota, they would have likely darkened their palette like just about every other team in the mid 90's...  The additions of Black and Metallic Gold happened gradually and well before the team moved.

 

Therefore, it would be disingenuous to call it a completely separate colour scheme.

I'm pretty sure Minnesota fans have a fondness for green and gold more than Dallas fans do.

The Wild are the ones that brought back a heritage jersey with a recolored version of their crest with the classic colors. A lot of fans still do love that scheme. I'm not against Minnesota having a green and gold full-time alternate that links back to their roots.

When the Stars were a part of the Winter Classic, what they decided to go with was a victory green and white jersey with brown gloves and beige pants.

A ticket rep is not going to know what jersey the team might wear in the playoffs with half a season still left to play, so the doom and gloom over the return of the skate jersey is a little premature.

 

Any ways, here's Tampa Bay's Gasparilla jersey.  Kind of wish they used that logo for an alternate jersey.  Extra points for doing more than just slapping the logo on a practice jersey.

 

  

 

 

 

That's a fun jersey that gives a nod to the Bucs.

Patrick Roy returns to the NHL as head coach of the...New York Islanders.

In 5 days, he returns to Bell Center behind the Isles bench!

No matter how much people wish the team never moved from Minnesota to Dallas (I'm one of those people for the record), the Stars are still essentially a second-six franchise with a rich history in Green, Black and Gold.  A history that includes a Stanley Cup Championship.

The Dallas Stars never won the Stanley Cup in North Stars green and gold.

They won the Cup in forest green, bronze, and black.

Their Neon is by far their best look:

Neon green is my favorite color. However, even though I think these Dallas Stars unis are really cool for special occasions, I don't think this is their best look ever. Their current jerseys with victory green and traditional stripes are the team's top set in their uniform history. What they're using now is the best fit for the regular home and roads. The bright neon colors shouldn't be overdone, for NHL teams to preserve the more standard aesthetics. For alternates, then can do whatever they want!

IMO, their 2nd best look was the 99 green ASG inspired look.
