Early polls showing Scorch with an approx 2:1 advantage over Blasty. Not sure if that is more indicative of the Sunday morning demographic, but I guess we will see.

Some interesting arguments as well — I hadn’t considered the fact that Scorch would essentially be an NHL rookie (having only been unveiled at AHL Adirondack).

For me I give the edge to Scorch, partly because we appear to be going full-time retro next year so we’re good in the uniform department. To me, Blasty is also a step back into our history, whereas Scorch is a step forward to new possibilities.

The only thing I struggle with is how Scorch would coincide with Harvey. I obviously have a soft spot for the ol’ Hound, and bringing in someone like Scorch would create an interesting dynamic (although I have no doubt Harvey would handle it like a pro).
