They look like they're in kindergarten and getting ready to finger paint. I can't wait until the Preds move to Canada so new ownership can get some real jerseys going with proper fan support.

I wonder how they’ll squeeze “SALTALAMACCHIA” on those sleeveless Texas unis.

well, they could get his name legally changed to “Salty”. We saw with that guy on the Pirates that long name + vest = catastrophe.

I like “La Macchia” better, it sounds like a much more believable name – which would you prefer “Jarrod Salty” or “Jarrod La Macchia?”

well, Jarrod La Macchia would be preferable if he planned on joining the mafia at some point.

I like ‘The Salty Lama’.
