Heavy Metal is awesome...if you're a 15-year-old who can't get his hands on any real porn.

Not that old are you? I remember when Porky's (yes that Canadian gem) was on a local TV station (uncut) prime time... Literally people were protesting... A different time when the video store had that "back room" with the curtain on it for the adult section...

I don't have any of their albums, but I've always thought what I'd heard of them was good and wanted to.

I don't like it, it looks like it should be the logo of Haliburton or something. Clearly this is a personal choice, but I would say it's the worst in the NHL by a scale of Hoobastank to the Beatles.

I agree about how beautiful the Nordiques sweater is, and hope they keep it. I fear marketing guys will decide they need to introduce a new brand, because they think you need something new, and they don't want fans to just pull out their old classic Noridques jersey, they have to buy the new one. But the same jersey will sell just as much.

I hope the hardcore Quebecer factor in QC makes it so they must keep they old Fleur de Lis design, they can't take down the Fleur de Lis. I hope that sentiment makes them keep the old jersey.

I wish the Jets would have looked at the fact that the original six and a bunch of classic franchises keep their classic design for a reason, because it's a classic. I thought the original Jets sweater had become iconic in that way. I wish they'd revert to it as an alternate and eventually go back to it.

Although the vintage Nordiques jersey if reintroduced would remain only the second most beautiful Blue and White jersey....

Hartford just moved a "AA" baseball team into the city and named they the "yard goats" truly awful name, but their uniforms are Whaler colors.

The city is trying, they held a bring back the whale night a few weeks ago at a ballfield and tried to get petitions signed for having a whalers license plate available.

I thought their best chance was a few years back when they hosted outdoor games when the wolfpack was the CT whale. That, along with UCONN in Big East hockey last year, has brought a lot of attention to the sport in my state. But it's still a pipe dream.

So the franchise once known as the Bristol Red Sox is now … the Hartford Yard Goats.

People in the YMCA gymnasium saw two live goats, hedgehogs, toy helicopters and a rain of confetti after the announcement. The goats were brought onto the stage, but they nervously strayed to the side.

Get used to seeing goats. Although the name Yard Goats is technically an old railroad slang term for an engine that switches a train to get it ready for another locomotive, the animal angle lends itself to logos and merchandise. Hartford's stadium could have a petting zoo, at least on some nights.
