people talking about oilers and flames playing 10 times while sharks and vegas play each other 8 times now that's gonna be a bloodbath
Man, I AM PUMPED
Imagine Calgary and Edmonton playing a game 7 in the playoffs. That'd be the 17th Battle of Alberta in half a year. Imagine the bad blood that will have built up by then! 😀
Really wish people would stop saying "Ads on helmets are slippery slope to ugly jerseys" and then citing European hockey as an example. I live in the UK, and my local team could NOT survive without jersey sponsors. Plain and simple. The money has to come from somewhere. And (most) european teams do their best to integrate the sponsors as best they can so that it doesn't look TOO obtrusive. And they do all that because they love the game and want to be able to continue playing it. And then they get trashed by NHL fans for creating hideous jerseys and "ruining the sport". People can hate the helmet ads if they want, but please don't be so dismissive of European teams who are just trying to keep afloat.
Noooooooo ads!
10 Battles sounds more like a war.
oh here we go, ads on equipment. The point of no return for sure, it's going to be weird. But $15 million? It's really nothing in the grand scope of things
Viagra ad should be on Flames helmets
Good signing by the Yotes. Battle of Alberta won't be that great w/o the fans- otherwise, it's the fiercest rivalry in the NHL by far. At least the ads will not be on the sweaters. People don't buy helmets, they do sweaters. Slippery slope indeed though.
The northern division one that makes sense. How could you take the Blues and Hawks our of the same division. Same goes for a lot of other rivals.
Condom Depot we would laugh at watching UFC a number of years ago
The Panthers are only allowing limited fans because they know they only get limited attendance anyway. It’s just too funny 😂
Under this format, I could see a return of the brave sons of the Hanson brothers. Toe Blake would have wanted ads on helmets.
Every time is see his name i just see Caligula. Im not even dyslexic, just one of those things lol
Caggiula is very underrated, hell of a player. Plays well w/o the puck & not afraid to hit.
Drake Caggiula is my second cousin happy to see him get a contract wish him the best of luck in Arizona
Because of how much the nhl likes Jerseys i don't think ads will get on them but its scary.
If the NHL knew how to properly market its self there would be no need for ads on the players
This is sticking it to the fans over the NHL being lazy and sucking at its job
I don't want to speak for others but I have never once gone out of my way to support a company that advertises in a sports venue. The bigger the ad, the more I kind of choose to not support it. They have the money to put that add there so clearly they don't need any of my help.
Whether this mind set is right or wrong of me I'm 100% sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I originally read this as: NOTD: 10 Battles of Alberta This Year, Caligula signs with…….." Damn, one of them going ancient Rome! Sweet!
They could bring a couple teams to saskatchewan if they needed.
Im hoping!! Pleaseeee!!!
We could possibly have flames oilers 17 times this year
It could end up being 17 battles of alberta if they face eachother in the playoffs and go 7 games
Connor Sheary signs 1 year 735K contact with Capitals
Hi
Hi cats
This news makes me want to move from Alberta so I can watch those games.
Utica Comets and Syracuse Crunch meet 10 times a season. Sellout each game. So it should work
How long until we have full on "Slap Shot" reenactments?
If you look at the capitals ad that they unveiled, it doesn’t look too bad, it is minimally intrusive as well https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2020/12/22/devils-capitals-become-first-nhl-teams-to-unveil-ads-on-helmets/
Wait, didn’t Andrew Hammond already had an ad on his helmet?
The north division should be called the allstar division except for Ottawa and Montreal.
Burger King for LA finally?
How about Chevrolet in LA since it's already very similar to their Gretzky-era jersey?
Captain Highliner making a comeback in Long Island?
Pampers and Huggies in a bidding battle for Toronto? It Depends.
I think is funny how people in the US and Canada is complaining about ads on helmets. I feel I watch more commercial then hockey sometimes with 3 power breaks every period.
In Sweden we have ads on helmets, jersey and the pants but we also have just one power break and a lot of times the channel does not even show commercial during the power breaks. So if I can choose between more ads on jersey or more commercials, I choose ads on jersey everyday
Instead of a 3 or 4 round bout, the Battle of Alberta will go a full 10 rounds this year! Amazing
Do you know when the schedule is released
War of Alberta then
The Condom Depot will live on. The UFC had too much integrity but the NHL said "hold my birth control". Start with the Original 6 jerseys to penetrate deepest.
Yes, but is anyone going to buy products, advertised on helmets..?
My only concern is that there's likely to be suspensions handed out between Calgary/Edmonton…Please NHL Player Safety – let them play…I want some intense hockey this winter.
What I'm afraid with the ads on helmets is that, it starts there then suddenly we have ourselves a euro hockey situation where the ads are EVERYWHERE…
No adds pls
Both Tkachuk brothers in the same division… would love to see Brady follow in Matt's footsteps and level Kassian out too.
Drop the puck!
I bet DesLauriers and MacDermid fight 4 or 5 times this year….Ana vs LA.
