and is a million times better than Greenville's ECHL's team the Swamp Rabbits.
ugh.
Still mad about that name and to this day don't know how it won the vote since I didn't meet anyone who voted for it and I was actually pretty fucking socially active when I lived there,Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

Columbus Blue Jackets need to rework their team name/image.
Blue jackets. Pffft. Weaksauce.
Delete the Hog Pit. It'll be fun.

Look, motherfucker, you rally behind a team named anti-social miniature sand wolves.
The Blue Jackets are named for the blue coats that were manufactured in Ohio for union soldiers. They are meant to pay homage to Ohio's military contributions, although some think they were named after Charles Blue Jacket, a Shawnee war chief and predecessor to Tecumseh (who also lived sort of close to where I live now). I don't understand why they picked a blue version of the Charlotte Hornet, but the fun part of home games is when they fire off a big-ass cannon after every home-team goal.
Ohio isn't known for great sports team names, okay? Some are appropriate, though, like the team we named after the color of shit.

@Ganymede Sure about that? I'm 99.999% sure the Blue Jackets were named after...
...Kim Kardashian wearing a jacket that is blue.
Those guys seriously need to get a name like "SHARK PUNCHERS" or something better like "UNION RIFLES".
You leave my filthy desert mongrel dogs (who also share the same name as what you call human traffickers from Mexico) alone.
Disclaimer: I get the history behind the Blue Jackets name and it's cool. I'm just talking shit. It's also just...blue jackets. I got a blue hoodie in my closet. Get a monster/animal in there.

Hey, I'm not contesting that Ohio has some shit team names. I mean, who the fuck names a team after deez nuts?
We make fun of Michigan, but they have cool team names like the Wolverines and the Spartans. What do we have? Tree Testicles.
The Blue Jackets have the best name in Ohio. And that is the telling thing.

True story. Saw a Christian high school with their team name "Trojans", which is fuckin weird because Troy was dedicated to Apollo.

Yeah, its certainly better when Christian founded/based schools go with a demonic mascots, like Blue Devils.
I'm just a surge protector doing my job, sir.

Gritty has been absolved of wrongdoing in accusation of punching a kid.
Apparently the kid was wearing a Penguins sweater and the rest of the hockey loving world went "Ferda".

As he should have been.
The problems with the world can be cured with more punches to more 13 year old kids.
Not less.
P.S.: How does Phil Kessel suck so bad on a team like the 'Yotes? Seriously.

@Ganymede I am not talking about that 5 game skid this week. Dont got the spoons for that.
Maybe Kessel is tired because they're making him run a lot.

He has 4 even-strength goals, man.
That's insane. He's scored 70, 92, and 82 points the past 3 years. He's on pace for around 50.
That's a huge drop, even for a player getting into his mid-30s.
