Having a team named Rocky Mountain instead of Colorado would have been cool but Extreme... Ugh brutal.

Looking back at the 90s, it seems as though we did things back then just for the sake of pushing boundaries and breaking away from tradition.

I'm glad we've grown past that. I don't think a name that dumb would have ever been OK in any other decade in history. But I agree, the name Minnesota Wild isn't much better.

It sounds like a rejected Arena Football team name. Don't even wanna know what the logo would look like for such a stupid team name.

I don't think things have changed. Look at the Metropolitan Division, what a ####ing stupid name.

Everything in the late 90s and 00s involved an X. It was quite annoying.

Imagine if Bourque got his cup as part of the Rocky Mountain Extreme?

Ugh.
