In January, I went out to Vegas for the first visit by the Columbus Blue Jackets, and it was a blast, of course!
Hoping to do the same the first time the CBJ travel to Seattle in the 2021-22 season.

Like the Seals, but voted for the Seattle Totems.
Remember going to games of the now defunct team back as a kid.
Now, bring back our Sonics and all will be well

But what will happen when the Seattle Seals meets the San Jose Sharks then? Will they be eaten for breakfast?
On the other hand they will have an advantage against the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Here's hoping it lasts longer than our Sonics-Grizzlies rivalry!

Since I don't root naturally any team there, I always follow the ones that had some of my favourite Finnish ice hockey player playing there (and they need to be juniors picked up from my local favourite team here in Finland, TPS from Turku). So I was following Montreal Canadiens when Saku Koivu was playing there. Then Minnesota Wild when his brother MIkko Koivu started to shine there. Now it is Colorado Avalanche since a player I have followed since his junior years, Mikko Rantanen, is making a huge breakthrough there, and is, bloody hell, leading the whole damn NHL player statistics in scoring at the moment... 45 points in 27 games...

I've never understood that one, the Pittsburgh Penguins. Although there are other major sports teams with names that have nothing to do with their region (for example, the Detroit Tigers and Lions - ha ha ha ha - a long way from Asia and Africa) the NHL has been quite accurate with its regional representation.
I still don't know what a Blue Jacket is or what a titan has to do with Tennessee.

Not sure but I would think the Penguins name comes from where they used to play, the Civic Arena, nicknamed the igloo (even though igloos are in the Arctic and penguins are mainly in the Antarctic)?

I like the Seattle Rain (my own idea)
Seattle will move into the Pacific and Arizona Coyotes will move to the Central Division in the Western Conference.
I'd like to see three or four divisions. There are too many teams for a four division league and it really kills rivalries. I believe the league may revisit the division alignment issue in the very near future with some changes in store.
