Introducing...the Utah Mammoth

Someone screwed up and put the team name on the YouTube channel handle.

My thoughts? Eh...they'll be lucky to be as successful as the professional lacrosse team with the SAME NAME in Denver. The Colorado Mammoth have won NLL titles in 2006 and 2022, the latter of course the same year as the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup and the DU Pioneers won the Frozen Four, they were all in the same parade.

The Mammoth have been around for 22 years, it's not unusual for professional teams in different sports to have the same names, but geez, literally every single one of their possible names already either had ties to or were flat out copies of teams in Colorado (other than HC and "Venom" of course).

They can have Mammoth failure after Mammoth failure.

My fear is the Bolts will dump Jon Cooper after this postseason, especially if they fail to advance past the Cats.

If he's a free agent, both he and Ryan Smith have a good relationship. No doubt he'll be given whatever he asks for $$$-wise from that guy and take over.

He could go to Vancouver if he breaks loose seeing as he is a Prince George boy, but highly doubt a dysfunctional such as the Canucks could ever pull that off.

He went to Hofstra, pretty darn close to where the Isles play. Said he loved the area. I'd prefer the Isles have a great coach behind the bench. Not a great goalie.
Posting your political views on social media is like sticking your head up your ass & whispering: You're just as likely to change someone's mind, and you'll always come out looking like a shithead.

I still don’t like teams named after states and not cities. Silly bugaboo I have.
