Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Weirdly, Rochester's hockey team is The Americans. But they are called the Amerks
Ha! Rochester has no imagination.
We should have The San Francisco Burrito Eaters.
We were going to be The San Francisco Hipster Douchebags but The Brooklyn Dbags beat us to it. Fucking' hipsters.
See also, Yankees and Metropolitans.
And Knickerbockers!
And Knickerbockers!
I'll bock your knickers, missy!
Wait, is that lewd?
We're just proud of who we are!! (Nordiques means Northerners)
Fucking' hipsters.
Heh. I'm still amused at my niece's upset about hipsters invading Oakland. I tend not to think of it as a very hip place, although the food scene is definitely getting hipper.
So New Yorkers apparently also have no imagination. See also, Yankees and Metropolitans.
Or possibly, New Yorkers are secretly Canadian!
I love the fact that our soccer team is the Chicago Fire. Don't know too many other cities that would name a pro sports team after a catastrophe.
I'm just picturing all of the first team meetings, with the guys looking around saying, "OK, so who are we? Uh, I guess we're.... Americans! (/Canucks/Knickerbockers/etc.)"

Miami Hurricanes.
I like that the Canadiens are called the Habs, but which one was named first? In my head, if Vancouver was second, it was because they were listless and uninventive. If it was Montreal second, they were just flipping le oiseau by refusing to acknowledge the rest of the country actually exists.
