Pretend you are Gary Bettman’s assistant, and he has found buyers and a market for a hockey team in Mexico. So, this team is going to be a reality, and Bettman asks for you to come up a name for the new team in Tijuana.
What would you name this new Mexican NHL team?

LITY: Trying to dumb down the question for entertainment value. Iguanas sound pretty good, you must have thought of this before. Lol.
cdn24fan: That mascot may not be very kid friendly.
PuckDat: Very creative. You are right.
Andrew: I was thinking steroids might be a problem. They sell those in PEZ dispensers down there.
CME: Brilliant.

For some weird reason, I just had this picture that I would be Brute and Bettman would be Caesar. Or Bettman would be King Lear and I would be....what's his face...who the hell was it who poisoned Lear? Forget it, I'll just ask around....
The arena's name would be Krusty's Playground or Camp Krusty, and the team name would be Poochie. I don't know, Krusty's all that comes to mind when I hear Tijuana....
King Lear...I'm on some good crack today. Hamlet was what I was thinking of. I would be Claudius and Bettman would be King Hamlet. And Haley, not liking a Simpsons episode is quite blasphemous. lol

Well, first thing you need to realize is this is not an expansion team and we are not going to Tijuana. We're moving the Ducks to Nuevo Laredo. And we're not changing the name.
We are changing the logo somewhat to reflect the atmosphere of the community. So from now on the duck will have his head in the sand with a few bullets flying overhead. Maybe a bullseye painted on his keester.
To keep jersey sales moving along, our road uniforms will feature the duck in doctor's attire. He can be the DUCK-tor that they are always asking about as soon as you cross over into Nuevo Laredo. "You need duck-tor?" (If you've ever been there, you know exactly what I'm talking about)

Mexico City has a pending application already which the owners agreed to. It was submitted for the 1994 expansion (Florida/Anaheim) byt Ziegler rejected it. It's was looked ata again for the late 90s expansion and I'm sure it will be considered further.
Again, Bettman has very little to do with expansion, it is all the owners. If they say yes.....he has no say in the matter...aside from representing the new owners.
As for Tijuana? I like the Tijuana Iguanas myself.

First I would piss in his coffee, like I would do every day, then make up my daily scandalous story about him, then have my assistant Mike (avs fan) beat the hell out of little Gary, then I'd tell him this idea is crap, burn the documents, slash his tires, send him on vacation to Mexico with a sign on his back that says "I'm a rich American, have your way with me" and hope he never comes back. Then I would recommend LITY as the next commisioner of the league....Well maybe not, Detroit would be playing Chicago 82 times a year if he was in charge, so scratch that plan, Puckdat would be the next commish.

Tijuana Free Anabolic Steroids. Then I would petition the league to relocate them to the fine Mexican City of Acapulco, and rename them Acapulco Gold.

If I was Bettmans assistant I would slip a little anti freeze into his kool aid,(if you know what I mean). If he was retarded enough to send an NHL team to mexico BEFORE Canada gets a team back, then I would not even try to hide it. I would bust him across his head with an ax handle on live tv.

I think if we combine a local Mexican flavor and give credit to the men who moved hockey to Mexico, we would come up with something like this:
Tijuana Tequila Worms.
Am I right or am I right?
