SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Very cool idea. I hope it works exactly as planned

The two best Finns in the game and, thankfully, they play for my team. Yay!

For those of us who won't get past the Globe and Mail paywall: Climate Pledge Arena.
Sounds like a hell of a concept. I hope they pull it off with flying colors!

Rain water for ice? Well, at least there's plenty of that in Seattle. I'm not sure that having fans bring in water is a good idea. It might go something like,
USHER: Sir, do you have some water for us tonight.
FAN: Let me finish 3 or 4 beers and I'll get right on it.
Something about natural gas in arenas is familiar. TD Garden on a Saturday night after everyone has had the traditional supper of beans and frankfurters is a great example.
How about calling the team the Chiefs. After all, Seattle is named after Chief Seattle, so that works. Problem is they will be accused of cultural appropriation, so that's out. Maybe Olympics, for the peninsula of that name, or the Cascades after the mountains. (Colorado used this idea for a baseball team, so maybe not.)
