Current Real Life Mascot Battles

In the style of this post.

NBA Finals: Mavericks vs. Heat

Mavericks are what? Maniacs? Those who don't abide by the rules? Specifically associated with cowboys in some way? Well it hardly matters what a maverick is exactly, because sooner or later he will succumb to pure heat.

NHL Stanley Cup Finals : Oilers vs. Hurricanes

I am flummoxed again. An oiler is one who drills for oil maybe? This is something that would rile up a fan base? Or maybe it's a being made entirely of oil? Again, not very inspirational. And also again, while an oiler is making up its mind what it is exactly, it will be pummeled by the sheer awesome force of a real hurricane.
