Capitals, Canadians, Stars, Penguins, Lightning, Hurricanes, Canucks, Avalanche, Wild, Sharks

The reason that there are no Penguins in Canada, is that Canadians called upon the Stars from their Capital to strike them with Lightning, Hurricanes, and Avalanches of Wild Sharks, and that's also why they were nicknamed the Canucks.

Historically inaccurate? Most definitely :P
An attempt to be punny? Most definitely :P

Personally I have nothing against the Ducks, but considering where they are in the standings relative to Chicago I am laughing my ass off.

Also, while typing this, I almost posted "Ducks" as "Dicks". Luckily I proof read my shit.
