"Utah Mammoth" was just announced. Another name for the Washington Post editors to butcher by pretending it's singular, which sounds ridiculous when juxtaposed with an opponent's name they treat as plural (e.g., they would say, "The Utah Mammoth is seeking its first Stanley Cup, while the Washington Capitals are pursuing their second.").

The Mams?

The name leaked a few days ago.

Thanks for keeping us abreast of that and for two titillating puns (not sure whether the second was intentional, but I liked it anyway).

What a dreadful name for a sports team...

I love the name.

Has anyone had that many goals in a row like Rantanen?

Mammoth vs Kraken sounds like a vintage Japanese sci fi movie

Skinner back in goal for Edmonton. He’s been awful.

Incredible finish in Edmonton. Reilly Smith scored via a deflected shot by an Oiler into his own net with 0.4 seconds left in the third. Vegas wins 4-3.

Skinner must be on PEDs

Leafs showed something and forced game seven.

Dallas / Edmonton in the West...

The Maple Leafs played last night as though they were the Capitals facing Pittsburgh in a Game 7.

With as much deflection and blame shifting as DC in 2025. Marner calling out anyone is pretty choice.

Game three is on at 3:00. Nice to not have to interrupt sleep pattern to watch the game.

that's what, 15 straight conference final losses for them?

Getting closer to a 2024 rematch in the finals.

Oilers chase Oettinger before the 1st is over. 3-1 so far.

twice Dallas scores to pull within 1, and twice Edmonton scores almost immediately afterwards. 5-3 Edmonton in the 3rd.
