    I have to say I'm seriously surprised THIS time especially that the Panthers are trailing so much so quickly. I really think it's a great logo. Same with the Islanders. I as a Leaf fan, also chose the Devils. I don't expect the Leaf logo to go very far. It's very symolic to the Maple Leafs,(although the 60's logo holds more weight and is better than this one) but it doesnt hold much weight besides history over the other logos. Most logos in the NHL are better than Toronto's current logos.

    We already know what's gonna happen...... Blues are gonna get a slight lead the first day, and then the Canucks are gonna claim 70% of the votes because we have a lot of Canucks fans, even though the logo (IMO) doesn't represent what a Canuck is, or the city of Vancouver, at all.

    Toughest one is, no doubt, Blackhawks-Avalanche..... I really don't know, so I won't even cast a vote.

    Coyotes-Wild is also tough, but I went with the Wild. And apparently unlike many other people, I really like the Predators logo. I don't care if it loses to the Sharks, but it shouldn't be the 76-24 blowout it currently is.

    Wow... The Bruins are going to have a hefty lead after this round... Panthers week 1, Thrashers week 2...

    Am I the only one who thinks the Red Wings logo is completely idiotic? Why do you need a wheel AND a wing? I mean really people, the thing is stupid looking. History yes, but good looking logo? Leaves a lot to be desired if you ask me.

    I completely agree with Don, Detroit does NOT have a good logo. It is not simple, is not clever and doesn't have a unique colour palette. It is just all around overrated because it is a classic logo. Also, this round is easier to vote on for me, the only polls I even thought about were Canucks vs. Blues because the Blues have an overrated logo as well, and the Predators vs. Sharks because they are fairly similar, but the Sharks is slightly better.

    I seem to be one of only a few who like the Wild and Preds logos.....In a logo, I think consistancy and symetry (sp) is important....That would be why I like Dallas over Calgary too, and the Panthers over the Flyers...the blue makes the panther look very "majestic" (for lack of better word)

    This whole "The Canucks logo doesnt represent the city or the name" arguement is getting so tired I wish people would drop it already. There are lots of hockey logos that dont depict their teams namesake including the Habs and Islanders, both of which are classic and respected. Remember how it turned out when the Islanders decided to make a logo with an actual "Islander?" The Canucks logo doesnt represent the city or the team name, big deal. Its still an attractive looking logo.

    yeah i voted for toronto over the devils.....basing my decision NOT off this logo, but off the one from the third jersey (old school leaf) which is, along with the chicago blackhawks, columbus blue jackets, and calgary flames, one of the best logos in sports.

    detroit logo might have looked really cool in the 50's, but now it's just overrated IMO

    Mar 15 . 3:17 PM | Unregistered CommenterGabriele

    Classic is the way to go. All you people saying the Wings logo is lame are fools. Its exactly what a logo should represent - the team name and its tie to the city, namely the auto industry. No other logo in the league does is as well as the Red Wings' does.

    And who said Avs vs. 'Hawks is a tough choice? Are you crazy? The Avalanche logo is a horrific reminder of the mid 90's when nobody had any idea what they were doing and started naming teams after singular things(Avalanche, Lightning, Wild WTF?) My dog could have thought of something more interesting than a maroon 'A' with a stream a snow sliding down its length. Then again, the name 'Avalanche' doesn't give them much to work with. Should have stuck with "Rockies".

    As for the Hawks logo, its one of the most colourful and visually appeal logos in the league. It may not be politically correct anymore, but damn its a nice design.

    I'm not a Canucks fan whatsoever, but I do like their logo, and I like it better than the Blues logo. I know it doesn't technically depict a "Canuck" but it still looks great, and it does remind of the Vancouver area. It's not like Orcas are not known to be in your area. All that being said, I'd still say the Canucks should use the Johnny Canuck logo, but the Orca logo is infinitely better than the stick-in-rink logo (My vote for worst logo in hockey.)

    Glad the B's ended up in the easiest division ever. They should run away with that division and the 1st spot in the East, just because of the sucktitude of logos in that division.

    Why the heck are the Habs up so much on the Islanders? That should be a close one...looks like the Canadien fans have gotten on here early. Hopefully it evens out over the week because that definitely shouldn't be a blowout.

    Is the IceHL ever coming back?

    Mar 15 . 4:52 PM | Unregistered CommenterNick

    I'm a fan of the old sharks logo before they added the orange. Blackhawks have the best logo/uniforms in the NHL so they got my vote hands down.

    I just simply don't understand why the Montreal Canadiens logo get so much respect. This has nothing to do with me being a Leafs fan, because I admit their logo is more attractive, but heck, we at least have a leaf on ours! The Canadiens have a chance to use an amazing logo to represent French Canadians, but instead vie for a logo with a couple of letters and pretty strokes. The jersey is amazing and goes well with the logo, but take advantage of the opportunity and represent the citizens of the city. A "C" and an "H" don't create a logo for Canadiens.

    The New York Rangers logo is far better. That crest just is very American styled, something a team representing a very American city should use. I just love the design, its simplicity and its almost as if the crest is in a uniform.

    FEENIXX: You do realize that there will likely be an alternate logo tourney after this one? Thats what happened last time. These votes are supposed to be strictly the logo in the box, not jersey design, city, team, or any other factor. There have been plenty of tourneys in the past and probably will be in the future that take the other factors into account...
