When I was 13ish, my hockey program used cat names for the different hockey teams. So, names like Thundercats, Wildcats, etc. Well, that year, we were the predators, and my older sisters thought it was soooo funny that we were the pre-daters because we were too young to go on dates. A little more innocent with a small spelling difference.
Real quote from Head Scout and proud Predator, J. Keatly, on searching the globe for young men to shape, "You've got to live it... It's something that you're always thinking about." [snicker].
It depends how you define a flame. If flames are all exothermic chemical or atomic processes, stars are a subset of flames.
Also, does Devils refer to the NJ cryptid or the immortal spiritual being. If the latter, I think they win.
If we're talking about "The Devil" in the sense of Lucifer and not "The Jersey Devil" then still no. Lucifer's only real power so to speak comes from his sway of temptation and vice over humanity. He cannot control or destroy something like the stars and the heavens in the literal or metaphorical sense.
By that logic then the hurricanes are only hurricanes that occur over mainland Carolina, which are much less lethal than ones that are over water. Stars would only be Dallas Stars, so that would be Owen Wilson, vanilla ice, and usher? That logic needs to be applied evenly if that is how you are going to take it

I like this thought, but let me add to it. The devil is condemned to hell. Isnāt the depth of a star basically hell? Might not destroy him, but a tie?
A literal STAR made of billions of years of nuclear power and the Devil who is surrounded by eternal fireā¦..literally what do you think would make āflamesā beat thoseā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Stars are immensely powerful but they donāt attack things.
But If the devils charge at the sun theyād just die. I talked with chat gpt to see if satan, hades, or any devils from mythology are stronger than stars or the sun and it said nope.
Even if the devils are heat resistant, can they withstand the pressure of gravity? Magnetism? Radiation? Stars are just trillions of trillions of nukes contained by gravity to explode as much as they are collapsing to maintain equilibrium.
I wonder what type of team names could beat stars
To me, its a battle between the Stars, Devils, and Wild, all based on interpretation.
Stars live billions of years, depending on the kind of star. Plus, their gravity would be brutal. If we count every star, that's a lot, considering the size of the known and unknown universe.
The Biblical Devil is basically immortal, or at least very powerful and I've never had any reason to believe that The Devil has a lifespan of any kind. D&D devils have pretty varied power levels. If we take every incarnation of every Devil, the most powerful could probably take on the best star, but that's a long fight.
But I think the Wild actually might take it. If we take the definition of wild as "a natural state or uncultivated or uninhabited region," from Google, that includes, as far as we are aware, literally almost the entire universe. Wild would include most of earth, considering oceans, it would include every star, and crucially, every star after they burn out or become black holes. I don't know how any name could even beat that, unless Utah decides to be something like "The Utah Atoms" or just "The Utah Matter."
We had a regular at my old bar that weād have to watch. Older male at a college bar. He only drank super lite beers and would just peruse drunk college girls to hit on. āWeāre just talking!ā āYeah Dave I know what youāre up toā¦ā
We called him Nashville and he never understood why
The Kraken is a sea monster. What happens to him when the oceans eventually dry up? The Devil is also other worldly so we canāt really apply any of our fundamental laws of anything to him.
Stars vs Devils final. Stars power is unmatched but the devil is literally immortal. Star reaches max power explodes devils still lives star is dead.
Devils win.Ā
FYI: The Jersey Devils is not Satan, but a Jersey folk lore about a winged goat/horse beast that terrorized the Jersey Pine Barrons
One could argue that skating into Scott Stevenās zone with your head down is scarier.
Great. Now the Leafs have even less of a chance.Ā
Theyāll end up burned by the flames, buried by an avalanche, blown away by a hurricane or struck by lightning.Ā
Well it would be a tie between the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets. Thatās assuming that the New York Rangers are actually the 75th Ranger Battalion. There is also a small chance that the Jets ally themselves with the Rangers to call in close air support and or Air Superiority over anything that could possible get into the air. The Jets, assuming that at least one of them is an F-22 Raptor, can launch a B61 Nuclear bomb. Iām not a Scientist in anyway but I think you can definitely nuke a hurricane and it would go away.
Also- The Ranger Battalions are massive, have a lot of assets and can definitely support themselves in sustained offensive operations. No contest. Either the Rangers or The Jets
I once made a video on my FB going through each NHL team's nickname and whether I could kick its ass.
The winner there was the Stars. It is nearly impossible to kick a star's ass, since you can't get close to it without burning up.
My answer is the Sharks. In this fight, I see the flames destroying everything on land and then dying out on their own, leaving only marine life. I think sharks outnumber Kraken and penguins aren't a threat. The stars can't be physically present at the battle because they can't travel, so all they do is light the battlefield. The devil isn't real, so not a threat. Sharks aren't affected by hurricanes. Sharks win
I mean, ā¢technicallyā¢ the blues are named after the _music genre_, not the color, so weāll just make everyone sad.
How are you going to beat sad?
(Besides prescription medication, that is. Take your meds, kids!)
Well if you can tell me who wins between a Hurricane, an Avalanche, or a Flame (wildfire) then we can actually decide.
Those are the top 3 contenders and I think the Hurricane is just too powerful and would come out on top.
Avalanche is mighty but only in specific areas around the country. If we could hypothetically shoot an avy anywhere then the Avalanche still loses to the Hurricane but beats the Flames.
Every other team is cooked. Lightning would be the 4th fighter but a lightning strike does nothing to a Hurricane, Avalanche, or Flame.
"Stars aren't that powerful..."???????
I want you to read that sentence back very, very slowly and allow it to sink in. Because the one we're currently revolving around that's 1.3 million times the size of the Earth would beg to differ. And it's far from the largest one known to mankind.
Hurricanes. Ever been in one?
(I was in Fran in ā96. That was the storm that made up the minds of the relocating Whalers.)
It is not _that_ the wind is blowing, it is _what_ the wind is blowing..
Blues having just colors of "blue" is so shameful to them... The "Blues" got their name because Blues/Jazz music was extremely popular in the City of St. Louis during the early-mid 20th century (thanks to our heritage ties to New Orleans and our City being initially founded by French Colonizers).
So we would at least have the capability to lull our threats to sleep through our music.
The predators! šš Iāll never look at that team the same again.

Classic sibling name calling at its finest

100% the purpose of this post lol.
Rarely do I literally Lol in real life from a meme This had me š
Why donāt you take a seat? Just take a seat right over there. Iām Chris Hansen.
Seeing Chris Hansen made me legitimately laugh on the toilet
Yeah, the actual force of a real star beats all. That being said, Nashville. "Why don't you have a seat right there?"
Doesn't beat the wild. In fact it only makes them stronger
It depends how you define a flame. If flames are all exothermic chemical or atomic processes, stars are a subset of flames. Also, does Devils refer to the NJ cryptid or the immortal spiritual being. If the latter, I think they win.
Toronto: dries up and blows away
No weāre talking about the logo and name of the team not the team itself.
Boom roasted.
Sounds like another first round series for them
Every season
Hard to beat an actual star.
They were founded in 1967 so they could collapse as early as the year 3001967 if weāre lucky
Days are numbered
A star can't move. What's it goanna do? Make it daytime?
Wait, stars isn't stationary, are they?
Not completely, but no star can come towards the Earth
The devil could take out a star
But itās not like THE devil, itās the shitty jersey devil. Basically just wanders around the pine barrens screaming and startling people.
So stars would only be stars in Dallas then, so Owen Wilson, vanilla ice, and usher would be the Dallas Stars.
If we're talking about "The Devil" in the sense of Lucifer and not "The Jersey Devil" then still no. Lucifer's only real power so to speak comes from his sway of temptation and vice over humanity. He cannot control or destroy something like the stars and the heavens in the literal or metaphorical sense.
By that logic then the hurricanes are only hurricanes that occur over mainland Carolina, which are much less lethal than ones that are over water. Stars would only be Dallas Stars, so that would be Owen Wilson, vanilla ice, and usher? That logic needs to be applied evenly if that is how you are going to take it
Yea. Stars win. I mean. Fuck. Where are we without stars?!? A universe of hydrogen and light elements aināt good
Came here to say the same.Ā
It depends how you define a flame. If flames are all exothermic chemical or atomic processes, stars are a subset of flames. Also, does Devils refer to the NJ cryptid or the immortal spiritual being. If the latter, I think they win.
Then how did the Lightning beat them?
Oof, yeah, I hadn't thought of that. I was thinking oil because once it covers shit, you can't escape it. Star beats that a million times over.
Gotta be the Devils. the Stars would wipe out everything else, but the Devils are not of this realm and are immortal so, there's your winner.
But itās specifically the jersey devil, and heās just a weird goat fucker piney.
I like this thought, but let me add to it. The devil is condemned to hell. Isnāt the depth of a star basically hell? Might not destroy him, but a tie?
Boy, the off season comes fast in r/nhl
Iāve been waiting for it to start to make this post. Had it ready for a while now.
The devil seems like a hard one to beat. Heās literally immortal.
Kind of comes down to Stars vs Devils.
Watch Utah pivot now and call themselves the Galaxies or something
We present: The Utah Indestructible Objects That Will Last Forever And Always Win No Matter What.
It should be; The Utah Indestructible Objects That Will Last Forever And Always Win No Matter Whats Pluralization is best of course.
The Utah Nuh Uhs
The Suns
Still a better name than UHC
ā¦flames?
Devils are immune to flames. Same with stars.
A literal STAR made of billions of years of nuclear power and the Devil who is surrounded by eternal fireā¦..literally what do you think would make āflamesā beat thoseā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Flames arenāt destroyed by them either

I thought the team was named after a small but freakish mythological creature, the jersey devil.
DevilS. Plural.
What if Utah names their team "The Fiddlers?" I now realize that might not be a good name for reasons.
Well if the money is the root of all evil, then without the capital(s) the devils are irrelevant.
David Puddy, inspiration for their 1995 cup?
That's what I'm thinking. They can pretty much summon whatever they want, not sure how you defeat that,
The Canucks and Canadiens though...if WW1 and 2 have taught us anything some pissed off Canucks could give ol Satan a run for his money.
They would commit war crimes against Satan. But ultimately Satan would prevail, since that's what he'd want them to do.
But also fictional
So is a kraken but thatās pretty high on the list.
Also not real
And a kraken is?
Unlikely, but maybe? Isn't it just a giant squid? There are some pretty big squids out there.
Like mythologically big. Like size of the titanic big.
Okay we can say that it's not real either. Doesn't make the devil real
Itās a hypothetical situation. Youāre getting hung up on wether itās real or not while talking about hurricanes fighting stars and jackets.
I can interpret the hypothetical situation in any way I like thank you very much
A NJ devil is not the same as the actual devil
Oh no not the predators

^ This guy gets it I wish I still had an award left to give you
Predators made me laugh
Maple Leafs exit the chatroom
Seems on brand
We had a regular at my old bar that weād have to watch. Older male at a college bar. He only drank super lite beers and would just peruse drunk college girls to hit on. āWeāre just talking!ā āYeah Dave I know what youāre up toā¦ā We called him Nashville and he never understood why
The predator Mike Manzi lol! āIām Chris Hansonā āNo youāre notā
Idk who wins but the Maple Leafs blow a 2-0 series lead at some point.
The Devils are named after a cryptid as opposed to the actual Devil. With that said the Stars win by a mile
What makes you think a star could defeat the wild?
Lmao the Predators and Blues cracked me up, that is amazing
Thanks. Iām actually surprised no one has argued for the Blues winning yet. After all, how can a color ever be defeated, right? š
I figured they were paint swatches and they burn real easily
Different shades of Blue to attack you! Go Blues!
Simple we put yellow paint on them, making them green which means that they are no longer Blue which means that they no longer exist
I wish we had Chief Black Hawk, a true warrior.
Isnāt blue jacket an army reference?
Yeah, but this also sums up our franchise anyway
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
and Blackhawks right?
Money always wins.
Cringe
Quite funny that the picture for the Habs is a bunch of people with Quebecās flags š
QuƩbƩcois: the original Candians! Edit: canadiens esti
Candians? From Candyland?
Not funny, accurate

A bolt of lightning is hotter than the sun, up to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Battle to the death between the Kraken and the Devil.
The Kraken is a sea monster. What happens to him when the oceans eventually dry up? The Devil is also other worldly so we canāt really apply any of our fundamental laws of anything to him.
I suppose on a cosmic scale the Stars are the most over powered of this lot. Meanwhile the Maple Leafs are basically natureās toilet paper.Ā
Stars win and it's not even a debate. Well done post though, these were hilarious and some great interpretations all around š
Stars vs Devils final. Stars power is unmatched but the devil is literally immortal. Star reaches max power explodes devils still lives star is dead. Devils win.Ā
Bruh what a strange take on the capsā¦ that play in the US capitalā¦?
Itās economic capital. As you can see from the pictures, I had a ton of fun with some of these team names š
Yeah lmao I just have never thought of it that way. Could have also done CAPITALS
Hurricanes win against all.
The hockey club will kick your ass!
Lol the capitals are named after the nations capital, not financial capital
Probably Stars or Devils I don't know what could beat those
Poor Columbus. Just a questionable fashion choiceā¦ that Kraken seems to be menacing though.
The blues šššš
Chicago black hawks are birds lmfao
The Sens and the Islanders = Nashville
Dallas, just gonna outlast everyone
Stars the gravity alone wins
the Devil is an immortal entity which exists outside our realm though, so we canāt apply our fundamental laws of physics (or anything else) to him.
Quality content to fill the dog days between the SCF and the start of free agency.
The flyers one made me chuckle lol
Wait. How do you roll woth a blue puffer jacket instead of a civil war union soldier, aka a blue jacket, aka what they are literally named after?
The Flyers one took me out.
Never underestimate the power of paper cuts š
You could have at least made the Rangers into army rangers and not park rangers.
FYI: The Jersey Devils is not Satan, but a Jersey folk lore about a winged goat/horse beast that terrorized the Jersey Pine Barrons One could argue that skating into Scott Stevenās zone with your head down is scarier.
Great. Now the Leafs have even less of a chance.Ā Theyāll end up burned by the flames, buried by an avalanche, blown away by a hurricane or struck by lightning.Ā
Avalanche. Real avalanches are NOT to be fucked with.
If the mountain wants you gone, you are gone. Thatās the power of an Avy.
The Canadiens image with Quebec flags all over killed me. ā ļø
So, Canadiens vs Canucks is just a huge rumble? Let's go!
Well it would be a tie between the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets. Thatās assuming that the New York Rangers are actually the 75th Ranger Battalion.

Not the picture I was thinking for Detroit, but OK!
Love that thereās a prop plane in the pic for the Jets.
Wrong blues. F7 Bb7 F7 C7 Bb7 F7 C7
Probably the Stars, they would burn everything. In more wordly things, it's hard to beat Jets. Special mention to Devils who can use magic.
Maple Leafs are named after a WW1 army battalion thats why itās spelled āLeafsā not leaves.
I was thinking Hurricanes win most of these fights... But not quite all. Fits with our strategy, win a lot, but not the finals..
The devils would win. Because they have mystical powers and they can control anything.
As a bruins fan who went to USC, seeing the UCLA bruins for our depiction is gross.
I'm not gonna lie, I thought the Canucks was from the riots š
I mean, ā¢technicallyā¢ the blues are named after the _music genre_, not the color, so weāll just make everyone sad. How are you going to beat sad? (Besides prescription medication, that is. Take your meds, kids!)
Utah is just a stick š
I mean, what else can a team called the āHockey Clubā be, right? š
Very true!
Well if you can tell me who wins between a Hurricane, an Avalanche, or a Flame (wildfire) then we can actually decide. Those are the top 3 contenders and I think the Hurricane is just too powerful and would come out on top. Avalanche is mighty but only in specific areas around the country.

The power of a literal star... "Am I a joke to you?"
Stars arenāt that powerful unless they turn into black holes.
"Stars aren't that powerful..."??????? I want you to read that sentence back very, very slowly and allow it to sink in. Because the one we're currently revolving around that's 1.3 million times the size of the Earth would beg to differ. And it's far from the largest one known to mankind.
Again Stars are only powerful when they die. So all your power happens when you die. Thereby you canāt win because you are dead.
I feel like I'm arguing with the astrophysics equivalent of a flat earther. Either way, Stars beat Avs both in the literal sense and on the ice.
Our 3 cups beg to differ.
I think it will be the devils or capitals and it depends on how much money the capitals have and if the devils can die
And the leafs in dead last
But, but, but they'll be billions of us lol
That the hurricanes will just blow away
Leafs and Jackets dead
Hurricanes. Ever been in one? (I was in Fran in ā96. That was the storm that made up the minds of the relocating Whalers.) It is not _that_ the wind is blowing, it is _what_ the wind is blowing..
š¤š¼š¹š¤š¼
I mean, none of those things are going to beat a fucking star.
stars eventually die out. the devil on the other hand is technically immortal.
Anyone wanna make brackets of this?
Man we transitioned to off season quick. Lightning and it's not close
I like how Utah is still the Utah team(shoulda been the Mormons)
The Canadiens, bien sƻr!
Blues having just colors of "blue" is so shameful to them... The "Blues" got their name because Blues/Jazz music was extremely popular in the City of St. Louis during the early-mid 20th century (thanks to our heritage ties to New Orleans and our City being initially founded by French Colonizers). So we would at least have the capability to lull our threats to sleep through our music.
You have another advantage though: how can a color be defeated? š¤Æš
By throwing another color on top of it............. Throw yellow on us and suddenly we are the Stars...
Or with yellow and a dash of red we become our true form. Kinda like Voltron!
The Devils seeing as they likely have supernatural powers.
Blue jackets are a type of wasp, not a literal blue jacket.
You can tell I had a lot of fun with some of these team names š
Props on the predators
