Dumbest NHL Team Names

Since last nights post was so exciting (you can tell by all the comments) we will try it again with NHL Team Names.

Atlanta Thrashers-Is this a skater club?


Minnesota Wild-I don't even know what to say about this one. The "wild" is that the best they could do?

Columbus Blue Jackets-Naming this team probably happened something like this: About 30 people are sitting around in a planning meeting trying to decide what the team name should be. 15 of the people are typing away on their blackberries, 8 are engaged in 1 on 1 tangents, 6 are listening and 1 is leading the discussion. After 6 hours, many notes and sandwiches for lunch a woman who has yet to weigh in looks up from her blackberry and says "Look, they are wearing blue jackets, lets just call the team the "Blue Jackets". The remaining 14 blackberry addicts look up and say "Yeah, let's do that". In that moment, The Columbus Blue Jackets were born.

Nashville Predators-Who would want to be known as a Predator? Next are we going to have the Kentucky Kidnappers?
