    Numerous fans were turned away at the door.

    “There’s a kid who signed my hoodie,” Tourigny said. “I was the guy who was asking them to sign. Seriously, this will be my seventh year in the NHL, and I told my wife I think it’s my best day in the NHL so far.”

    “My phone is blowing up. My wife is sending me pictures every 30 minutes of something new,” he said. “She’s excited.”

    Tourigny said there was a buzz when the players’ wives returned to the hotel lobby, too. He said they looked like teenagers with how happy they were.

    “That shows two things: How much the people here in Utah welcome us, and how much we are excited to come,” he said.

    really hope they don’t do this “Utah Hockey Team” name thing for next year. Just give it a halfway decent name and go from there.

    “Who do you play for?”

    “The Placeholders!”🙄
