Anhkheg Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Happy to see PDB lose any day. I want to see how Dallas will look like in 2-3 years with a Player Development Ban in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajsgolf Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 How lucky are the Golden Nuggets? They have a chance to win a championship in two different sports in the same year. I mean, that’s gotta be a record I would think. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) The jersey sponsor is totally destroying the look of the jersey with the Stanley Cup patch.

But I agree, don't like the sponsor name on jerseys, never will. I'd like to see them make their RR jerseys their full-time look. They capture the "feel" of Florida.

Devilsfan118 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I know the Canadian hockey world is peddling this as a "worst case scenario" for the league, but I love when new teams/franchises get a chance to win it. I happen to hate the Panthers for how they targeted Nico, so I'll be pulling for the Knights. Should be a hell of a series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always hated the "Oh this [insert league] final is really what everyone wants to see..." crap. Any team playing in the league has a shot to get in and that's how it should be. As far as the NHL goes, I don't care about if a certain team was an Original 6 or plays in a massive market or in Canada. If the Panthers and the Golden Knights are the last two teams standing, so be it. Maybe those "everyone allegedly wants to watch" teams can figure out how to get there (preferably without officials offering assistance along the way). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I am enjoying the last few months of not having ads on NJD jerseys. We know it's coming. Gotta squeeze every penny.

NJDfan1711 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 That jersey looks terrible with that ad, and the patch on that wrong side. The NHL does few things right. Clinging to tradition and holding true to values and history used to be one of them. fvcking sellouts like everyone else. Whatever happened to standing up for principles? There's already ads on the ice, on commercials, on boards, and now helmets. Greed man. fvcking greeeeeeeeed. They ain't getting my money for that sh!t. I feel like one good online petition with a million signatures might actually get the league to notice and take action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it seems like an easy fix to just move the autonation patch up above the seam and then have the finals patch directly across from the Captains C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None? It's their league, so they do what they want, and we just have to sit here and take it? Basically either be a fan and suffer with sh!tty jerseys and ads, or go watch Rugby? Don't get me wrong, this isn't exactly the hill I want to die on, I'm just thinking that there's gotta be some way to get leagues/corporations to take notice and hear the voice of the people.

And for this particular issue, I feel like enough people care about it and have a similar viewpoint. I am surprised Boston walked back things on Mitch Miller when they signed him, but that took considerable pressure from fans and Boston players and there was no money involved. That was a Chernobyl level PR disaster. But... Yes, the bolded pretty much. The only place where grass-roots movements make a difference against billion dollar corporations where money is involved is in the movies. If we(fans) couldn't rise up and bitch hard enough about the board ads everyone hates there is no way we're going to change their minds on the Jersey ads. Even if you had 100% support of a place the size of the hockey subreddit, that's still not big enough to make a dent for a long enough amount of time to have them walk it back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for this particular issue, I feel like enough people care about it and have a similar viewpoint. First and foremost, I agree with you, I hate ads on the jersey and so wish that it wasn't a thing. But that can of worms has already been opened and more worms will be squirming with the ones already released, in due time. The fact is one million signatures won't mean jack sh!t to Bettman & Co. Think about how small of a number that is with regards to the entire NHL fanbase. Also ask yourself how passionate most of them would truly be about this. If you really want to see the NHL even begin to reconsider affixing ads to jerseys, you'd need to see some pushback on a Bud Light-ian scale. You'd first need to see a massive and immediate dropoff in jersey sales (which clearly already didn't happen). The NHL of course (and whoever is manufacturing the jerseys...right now that's obviously Adidas, but not for much longer) would then want to know what is the root cause capable driving such a sharp sales decline; they won't be fully convinced right off the bat that it's strictly due to jersey ads, even if many fans are already making it blatantly obvious. The NHL will want conclusive evidence supporting such a correlation. So there would then be market research performed and consumer polls taken as part of a comprehensive study to determine beyond any reasonable doubt that yes indeed, fans in very large numbers are SO bent out of shape about jersey ads that they're willing not to buy any team's jersey that adorns ads of any kind. And even then, the powers that be would probably take an extended "Let's see if this blows over" approach before doing anything that they'd consider "rash". Besides, sports are a diversion, in the grand scheme of life...people won't be pissed off long enough to fight a good fight they have little chance of winning, and they'll go into "OK I don't like these stupid jersey ads but I guess that I can live with 'em, was only a matter of time anyway" mode sooner than later...so much so that those who continue to complain about them will be told "OK, we get it, you hate jersey ads, they ain't going anywhere, get over it already!" And of course, if ever asked directly, Bettman & Co will just about always say "Well we've done our research and we find that the fans really like [insert polarizing-at-best change here]. Because as soon as we say something, it's automatically true by default and that's that. So there!"
