Second Animal vs Animal finals in the row

[Ms Maggie]

Well I guess I'll be the one to say it. Don't like names that aren't plural. Life is challenging enough. Why add to it with names that put us in uncomfortable grammatical territory? (Am you using Avalanche in the singular sense or the collective sense? Oh leave me alone!!)

This thread is what happens when hockey is a week or two away from ending.

We're still a few months away from threads like "what kind of fruit would each NHL player be?"

 

[Porkleaker]

you know birds and fish are types of animals, right? As a middle school teacher, it's important to me that you know that.

No way? Are reptiles and amphibians animals too? You're blowing my mind

The Blues I'm not sure what to say, it's just a plain old noun.

The color blue, pl. blues, is adjective. I didn't think the music style blues before your post at all.

I don't appreciate them playing with us by having a note that is blue. Don't appreciate at all.

Adjectives can be plural? Mind. Blown.

All NHL teams must have plural names. If you play for Ottawa, then you are a Senator. If you play for Anaheim, then you are a Duck. However, when you play for Colorado or Minnesota, you are not anything by yourself but maybe collectively. This is some serious communism stuff. No idea how NHL allows that to happen.

Just hang around with auld Lempo, beautifuls, it'll be an education.

Probably because of the same reason as wrestling.

Also, Tampa Bay Lightning. "Bolts". Do you know what you need for fastening or loosening bolts? Tools. Do you know who got tools? Right-o.

Carpenters. But at least one of them is dead. So that's out.

I suppose you could be a singular Colorado Snowflake.

come on, at least let them be a chunk of ice

Metropolitan Division
Washington Capitals - what is this even? Not an animal, at least.

I'm pretty sure Capitals is referring to the architecture of the Federal buildings in D.C.

Capital in the architectural meaning:

"Junks of Ice" would be permission to print money, marketing-wise, and thusly would never be allowed because otherwise Colorado would get all the fun.

buffalo usually has a buffalo on thier logo thoguh, i never pictured them as being swords, always animals hahah i guess they are the only one that go after their city name rather than the team name

Buffalo has a buffalo over two swords as their logo.



A sabre is, in fact, a sword.

 

[SirQuacksALot]

Humans can be predators as well lol. But the Preds specific logo is a Sabre tooth tiger.

 

[lawrence]

1st finals were you will see a lot of yellow especially when thhe game is played in Nashville.

 

[alko]

And again, The Predator were eaten by the "Prey".

The New Jersey Devils are named after the Jersey Devil, a beast of legend.

Per Wikipedia:

According to popular folklore, the Jersey Devil originated with a Pine Barrens resident known as Mother Leeds. The legend states that Mother Leeds had 12 children and, after finding she was pregnant for the 13th time, cursed the child in frustration, crying that the child would be the Devil. During 1735, Mother Leeds was in labor on a stormy night while her friends gathered around her. Born as a normal child, the 13th child changed to a creature with hooves, a goat's head, bat wings, and a forked tail. Growling and screaming, it killed the midwife before flying up the chimney and heading into the pines. In some versions of the tale, Mother Leeds was supposedly a witch and the child's father was the Devil himself. Some versions of the legend also state that there was subsequently an attempt by local clergymen to exorcise the creature from the Pine Barrens, or that the creature proceeded to kill local children.

So, yeah. Animal of some sort.

That legend is ****ing awesome!!!

Strictly speaking, Ducks and Penguins are birds and Sharks are fish. Not animals.

I'm interested in learning more about this.

Do you have a blog or podcast you can direct me towards?
