    Some of this information is wrong. Like the Rangers name for example, it was not a nod to a baseball team. It was a nod to the Texas Rangers state police. The black hawks name was not just about the restaurant, it was for the unit named for Cheif Black Hawk, hence the logo. The bruins store wasn't black and gold, it was brown and gold. They later changed to black. This is a fun video, but I'm curious about the research.

      You saved me the time of writing this, lol. Especially since I'm a Rangers fan. The Rangers were the reason that The NY Americans went defunct. The Americans didn't have an arena of their own, and shared MSG with the Rangers. When they wanted a new home, they needed a unanimous vote from the other six teams. The Rangers voted against. This led to the 54 year curse that finally ended with a Stanley Cup win in 1994.

    As a Tampa area native (Bradenton), Phil Esposito named the Lightning perfectly. Those summer late day thunderstorms light the sky up.

    The New York Rangers did get the name from Tex’s Rangers, but it wasn’t the baseball team.
    The baseball team didn’t exist until (a quick Google search shows) after the 1971 season when the moved from Washington, DC.
    The Texas Rangers are a law enforcement agency that predates the NHL. They have a long history that would require a video of its own, so i am keeping it simple.
    The Lone Ranger is so named as he was a Texas Ranger.

In order for the New York Rangers name to be a nod to the Texas Rangers baseball team, the Texas Rangers baseball team would’ve had to been founded before the New York Rangers, and they weren’t. The New York Rangers were founded in 1926, while the Texas Rangers were founded as the Washington Senators in 1961. In 1972, They moved to the Dallas area, and became the Texas Rangers, almost 50 years after the New York Rangers were founded.

Have never seen a snake on ice, Maomouth? Is it a team from the stones age? Outlaws? This might have fit to the old Flyers days with Schulz and Clarke. Ice??? Yes, of course they are playing on it but what does it say about the state and the team???? What is important to mention. The team is working as a team, they are symbolysing the attitude and the mentality of this state and this is only possible if you do it a s a newbie in the league as a SWARM to overrun opponents in regard to attitude and commitment. There is only one name realistic and I hope Mr. Owner might see that the same way. The UTAH SWARM
