Which would explain all the teams being named "Home".

Well, Wikipedia tells me the first four NHL teams were Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, and Quebec Bulldogs. So, one for the French, one for the random, one for the national capital, and one for Yale. Just kidding.

Well, "Canada" means village, so it's not like they're known for rocking the abstract metaphor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The Floyd
Now THAT would be an awesome team name. But sadly, nobody with team-buyin'-money had such vision.
