Not sure if this should be taken serious.. they couldn`t even stop smirking when mentioning the hamburgers

"it would help us win games"

Interesting bit.. I wonder how post game hamburgers will help them do that. Unless he means the ones thrown before the actual horn goes off.

Seems to be a bit of a wink wink, nudge nudge, in there.

Hilarious at the look on their faces when they mention hamburgers.

Besides, has a burger toss caused a loss of possession or goal against?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I have to admit it's a rather amusing situation to be in

Millionaire superstar athletes asking the crowd to stop throwing hamburgers at them because they are winning hockey games

What a crazy world

 

[BoHorvat 53]

They're asking people to wait after the game. Regardless, it's hilarious and awesome what Hammonds has done to not just the community of Ottawa, but the entire hockey community!

As soon as that final buzzer goes tonight, make it rain

 

[JonnyMacSen]

Surprised they didn't get Hammond to relay the message himself.

I'm going tonight... I kinda wanna throw a Hamburger though...

Hahahahahaha "please stop throwing hamburgers" switches to a clip of lazar eating a burger off the ice with a huge smile and saluting the camera.

ahhahahahaha how can you take that seriously? The whole production has a hidden message of "please keep this going, its hilarious"


Obviously just done because the foodbank spokesperson was speaking up against this.

Honestly, do it. Just wait until after the game and don't put any messy stuff on it.

This is the same foodbank last year that said they only want healthy food.

*the same foodbank that is educating the general public on how to donate food without further burdening our health care system

Donating junk and KD might help in the short term but it's going to cost us all a lot more in the long term.

I don't understand why people are still so crusty about this. Many people go out of their way to buy items at the grocery store to donate, and those items are often a terrible choice for many reasons (overly expensive, require extra ingredients, provide no nutrition, etc.). A little education goes a long way.

It's really no different than the Red Cross asking you to donate the specific supplies they need in a crisis instead of donating items that aren't needed and end up as a burden.

Therefore what's their beef (see what I did there) with cheap burgers?

 

[Sun God Nika]

omg I spat my drink out when I saw EK smiling about it while Marc was speaking in french

My guess is that they find it offensive that people would waste resources and food when there are those in our community (a significant amount) who are malnourished and hungry.

note: I don't want to get into a debate about this. My response is simply speculation as to why they might find throwing hamburgers offensive.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I really wanted to post that pic but it's used so often I refrained

Good call

 

[Rals]

Jasper is always welcome

 

[danishh]

I think they're serious.

The premature throwing is getting really annoying and probably pissing off the league/refs, and there remains pressure from the "stop wasting food" crowd.

I dont expect fans to listen, but it's time to move on. Really what needs to happen is the rink needs to start selling plastic hamburgers for people to throw, and the ushers have to take control (as much as they can, i know it's a tough job) of the premature throwers.

 

[BK201]

I think we should change his nickname to rockman then everyone can dress up like megaman characters and we can throw rocks on the ice.

Win win.

It still freaks me out how Methot's french sounds exactly like mine. My Quebecker family members always make fun of me for my "Ottawa" accent.

 

[ISensFanI]

my bathtub is filled with burgers and I'm going to bathe in them

 

[Harbinger]

they should throw happy meals

 

[FlapjackSilver]

Why not attach a small charitable donation (food bank) with a purchase of a burger?

the CTC should sell cheap burgers made to be thrown at the end of the games with all proceeds going to the food bank.

win win imo
