Saw they posted a picture of a light at the end of a tunnel. Is there a chance of them staying in Liiga next year?

blues as we know it is dead. FEL team will not be revived.
salonoja has been talking about creating a new team with fresh start to Mestis or Suomi-sarja, but it probably wont be called blues and it might not happen for next season.
"Espoo United"(backed by Salonoja) has been granted a Mestis license. I expect them to push for a Liiga spot within the next few seasons, and there are murmurs of some fairly high-profile signings for next season.
I will not be attending their games if they really go for this embarrassing and completely new name which oozes inferiority complex and Anglophilia.
Espoo United
Just call the team TAPIOLA. Or maybe TAPIOLA KS/HC/PS. It's not difficult, people.
Tapiola? Now that would be a way to alienate over 90% of the population.
It's their neighborhood and sounds nice (and has a nice mythological connection), but I'll admit not knowing much about Espoo's dynamics. It doesn't seem that Djurgardens alienates 95% of Stockholm.
The "Espoo" part in the name is not the issue here, the "United" part is. It's a hideous name...
Oh, I'm not disagreeing there. Pretty much anything is better than wannabe-English/American names. ("Blues" isn't much better in this regard).
