I like Canadiens. It is very classy, in my opinion. It is far better than Ducks, Avalanche, Penguins, or Wild. Those have to be some of the worst names in all of North American pro sports.
Yeah, it's better than the ones you mentioned, but I agree with The Nephilim that the Canadiens, as well as the Canucks, aren't the most creative names ever. I can't imagine naming a team the Americans...it'd be like, well yeah, we kind of got that already from the fact that they play in an American city... I'm used to both now, though, and they don't bother me like the friggin' Wild or Avalanche or any of the non-count noun teams do (although none of them are quite as lame as the Miami Heat or the Utah Jazz, in my opinion).
We used to have a minor league (can't remember what league) hockey team called the San Diego Gulls...add that one to the list of "lame bird names" along with the Ducks and Penguins. That's not quite as lame as the Long Beach Ice Dogs, though...
Nobody lives forever.
Some things never die.

They tell me that a Red Wing always flies.

How about the old UHL team the Port Huron Flags... As one person put it "Why would anyone pick a name where you can remove one letter and it becomes a slur?!?!?!"
"Cry 'Havoc' and let slip Tomas Holmstrom!!!"

An additional $5 for each hat trick scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.
An additional $10 if any of the above goals is the GWG goal that gives us the series win.
An additional $50 if it is the GWG that wins us the Cup.
$5 for a SO by Jimmy.

I think The Wayne Jetskis, my intramural team has that beat
a few years back i played in a beer league on the master baiters. we took alot of shots.
Wings need some Ryan Pulock in the 1st round, a goal scorer in the 2nd round and rounds 3-7 all guys 6'4 or bigger. Please sign Dekeyser to play with Smith. <--Dekeyser signed, Paired next year. Mark your calendars.
Tootoo needs a partner in crime that plays like him on the other side of Helm. Oh hey, we have Mitchell Callahan. Problem solved.
