I think the 1) Sockeyes and 2) Chinooks sound by far the best of the names listed simply because they flow nicely with 'Seattle' and actually have an underlining meaning behind them.

whoosh, facepalm, the NHL is still the only league to not have a team reside in Seattle.

Metropolitans sounds best if you ask me. They would need a serious name or else they wouldn't get any respect. Grizzlys isn't a good name 'cause who want to be a grizzly? Seattle Sounders could work to. Most teams gets called by their nick name. Like Rangers, Islanders, Penguins, Blackhawks, Red Wings, Stars, Kings, Sharks, etc.. A name like Metropolitans is a name that could demand the same respect like those I mentioned above.

Seattle does not have an NBA team.

Metropolitans were Pacific Coast Hockey League. NHL has never been in Seattle.

"Of the four major sports leagues in America – MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA – the NHL is the only league to not have a team reside in the city of Seattle."

Let's try to guess what's wrong with this statement, shall we?

Some good suggestions

I wasn't a fan of Metropolitans at first either but it's grown on me.

Plus I don't think any mascots are really intimidating or say, "bring it on."

I like the sounds of Grizzlies! or Sasquatch! I do agree with others that if we have a WHL team named Thunderbirds...Why another? Metropolitan - sounds boring if you ask me! :( They may have been an awesome team in their day..but, Seattle is trying to start FRESH with a new NHL team..So lets go with a NEW name...Something that sounds worthy of REAL National ICE Hockey! We need a team mascot that says bring it on...We are READY for a fight! and the Stanley Cup to be in Washington! :0)
I do like the idea of Seattle Eagles as well!

How about the following names: SEATTTLE: WHALERS(former NHL team), NATIVES OR SPIRIT (with native American logo respectable), MONSTERS (SASQUATCH LOGO), SOUND (owl perched on a hockey stick logo), CYCLONES, GRIZZLIES.

Seattle Sockeye. Not Sockeyes, sockeye.

Very true.

Besides Thunderbirds, the Metropolitans and Sasquatch have the most votes. Ultimately if an NHL team does come to Seattle, I'd bet on Tbirds or Mets being chosen.

Seattle Metropolitans, I think is most fitting. That Seattle Sasquatches uniform is an insult to the city.

Ottawa Senators & Winnepeg Jets both used the names of previous franchises in their cities.

Let's hope we see more of this from Ibanez this season, especially against the Yankees.

Re: Who’s Been the Mariners Offensive MVP so Far?

The poll should be good to go for you now. I agree with Seager developing into a solid guy for the Mariners. Nice surprise considering he was taken after Ackley.

Strong post. Interesting Ibanez shares 40something record with notorious PED users Giambi and Bonds. I'd say Raul stands alone, present company excluded.

Re: Who’s Been the Mariners Offensive MVP so Far?

SeattleNative57 — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:12:33 -0000

Couldn't locate any poll, Paul. My vote goes to Seager. The guy just gets better and better.

How'd that prediction turn out for ya? For every one guy I hear complain how ugly they are another 10 people love them and think they're top three in the league.

Even though the overall tactics may have been better on Hansen's part, I think relocation is a solid option. Just maybe not as soon as the relocation route would have been.

Once Adam Silver takes over as NBA Commisioner I fully expect a plan to add a team in Seattle will happen within two years.
