Correct? I don't have an issue with the whole climate change thing, but it is the worst name for a sports facility that I have seen. But if there is one place I could see using a name like that, it's Seattle...... Wouldn't it have been more energy efficient to use a smaller name?

Just odd. Opens them up to the inevitable "Krackhead" or "Kracker" jokes. Anyway, hopefully their rink is not burned down before they play.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Jimmy KrackCorn and I don't care... Well, I guess I do... Just like mocking a bad name out. Who's the focus group on this stuff? The people in the Autonomous Zone. It really knacks me up... They should have went with: Metropolitans. Paying homage to the first American team to win the Stanley Cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
