    I've seen Mammoth as a possibility. I've warmed up to that name. No elephant mascots in any pro sports right now. But yeah, those other names stink.

    The Colorado Mammoth are a National Lacrosse League team, they played Buffalo for the championship last season.

    I just can’t get into these games. The Sabres have made me hockey depressed. There was a time when I would watch as much nhl playoffs as I could. 

    It’s tough when you dislike both of the teams playing against each other. I don’t like any of Saturday’s teams.

    Another year in the books.  Yours truly, LabattBlue, took down the two best regular season teams in the playoffs, and was crowned champion 386.50 - 379.40 over Lanny.  

    Looking for someone to run the league next season(I will still be in the league).  Anyone interested? 

     

    Congrats on your win. Hopefully next season players won’t abandon their teams after the draft. Having players on IR on their active rosters was ridiculous.

    I am tired of reading here that Granato did what he was hired to do. This is 100% *****. 
     

    He was a joke as a HC, and a complete failure. 

    Disagree that he was a complete failure. It was his idea to move Tage to center which allowed him to prosper. He gave Dahlin the free reign to make the most of his abilities. He stuck with UPL until he gained the confidence to become a legitimate starter. He got Greenway to become a solid contributor, especially on the PK. He gave Benson more chances to bloom than most 18 year olds get.

    It is true that the team emphasis on improving defensively seemed to adversely affect their offense which gave us such hope last season. Granato seemed to go as far as he could with this team. So time to find someone who can take them to the next level.

    so the upshot from this presser is that KA's butt is in a sling for his failures this season and that his plan is to try to save his arse by doing everything we have all said needed to be done for three years; play hard for the open practice of the season, be harder to play against, go to the net, and work hard on defense.  

    Until today, the only player held accountable for the failed team, was Mitts and he was nearly the only forward showing nightly effort most of the season.

    I’d hardly call being traded to a Stanley Cup contender “being held accountable”. He was a commodity with a friendly contract status that Colorado wanted in exchange for a top 3 D. They did him a favor.
