Fun little poll!
Bruins v. Rovers - W - Rovers win on creativity.
Canadiens v. Chevaliers - W - Chevs is much more creative than Canadiens.Â
Flyers v. Founders - W (2OT) - Culturally, Founders makes more sense. I'll give it a 2OT win.
Rangers/Islanders v. Gargoyles - W - In this 2v1, let's go with Gargoyles which is much more NYC specific.
Blackhawks v. Ghosts - L - Close but I don't think Ghosts is enough to edge Blackhawks here.
Wild v. Loons - W - Wild is a dumb name so Loons wins by default
Maple Leafs v. Terriers - L - Tough to beat Maple Leafs. Terriers doesn't do it for me.
Avalanche v. Bighorns - L - While I like Bighorns, Avalanche is just cool.
Flames v. Wranglers - W - Wranglers fits better culturally.
Canucks v. Glaciers - L - Can't really beat Canucks here.
Sharks v. Dragons - L - I think Sharks is a cool name, and Dragons comes up just short in a shootout.
Kings v. Titans - D - I declare this a tie.
Final record: 6-5-1

I think the ones we won were vastly better names, where as the ones we lost were much closer. Maple Leafs and Terriers is our closest loss, while Loons and Wild is by far our biggest win, that or Bighorns and Avalanche.

I know a 3-4-5 record doesn't sound great, but when you consider that we're competing with long established brand identities, really, we did quite well with these names I feel. Â

Bruins v. Rovers: Rovers. Just love the name.
Canadiens v. Chevaliers: Chevaliers. Not a fan of the name but still, a little more creative than Canadiens.
Flyers v. Founders: Founders. It made sense given the historical tie-in.
Rangers/Islanders v. Gargoyles: Rangers/Islanders. I never liked the name Gargoyles. I was hoping for something like Dukes or Boroughs.
Blackhawks v. Ghosts: Both. Each is good on their own.
Wild v. Loons: Loons. Specific to Minnesota.
Maple Leafs v. Terriers: Both. Same as Chicago.
Avalanche v. Bighorns: Bighorns. I prefer this over the Avs'.
Flames v. Wranglers: Flames. Simple and catchy. Also, the Professional Hockey League has one already so is it too late to change?
Canucks v. Glaciers:Â Canucks. Glaciers sound stupid, to be honest.
Sharks v. Dragons:Â Dragons. As an Asian myself (East Malaysian to be specific), I can proudly say the Asian heritage is now displayed in sports greatly.
Kings v. Titans:Â Both. Though, for LA, I could accept the name 'Stars' for Hollywood connection.
It's a 6-3-3 record! Impressive!
