Public Skate: Bruins vs. Wild

It is Wednesday (evening), my dudes. Hopefully your day has gone well thus far.

It’s the Bruins! It’s the Wild! It’s liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!

Initial discussion topic: I know it’s grammatically correct to say, for example, “The Wild is quite a team!” but I’ve always found it awkward. Seems like team names should always be treated as plural.

(Even though I find it weird when British soccer people always use the plural, e.g. “Manchester City are atop the league.” I guess I just like to complain.)

Anyways, discuss.
