Curt Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I’m actually fine with this. A lot better than putting ads on the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I can see The Buffalo News, for example, refusing to give Scotia free advertising by blaring, "SABRES WIN SCOTIA NORTH!" in a banner headline. OTOH they've always printed the corporate names of the arena, I think. (But wasn't there some issue with "the downtown baseball stadium"?)

Hawerchuk Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Go back to the Adams Division, Norris Division, Patrick Division and Smythe Division. You know, old time hockey, eh coach?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think I mentioned in another thread somewhere that we would soon have a giant Labatt Blue can on our ice surface. I'll give it 3 years, max. Adds on jerseys in 2 or less. Adds on helmets start this year. The naming rights to the Cup will be sold very soon. Only a matter of time before teams are playing for the Amazon Stanley Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can do the math. 40 then? they would need to have been in place during a fans formative years. Say the youngest would be 14 to make a meaningful impression? That makes someone 40 today and that would only include those fans who really settled on those divisional names by the time they got in the high school. That seems like the outer edge.

I think Bezio's will demand it be called the Amazon Cup, and if the NHL doesn't comply he'll refuse to deliver it to the winner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoath Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Interesting chat on 31 thoughts. Hypothesising about keeping these divisions (well the North division specifically) for revenue sharing reasons. What says the sabres hivemind?

Playing the Leafs, Sens and Habs means something. but so does playing the Rangers and Flyers. So I don't like it, but I can live with it.
