What should be the NHL's new marketing slogan...

[NYIsles1*]

National Hockey League
Hockey's Different Here

 

[Gary]

The new NHL...
*More philosophically indifferent then ever
*Net gain, Gross results
*More goals then Bettman has
*We've got our redline, now the players lose theirs
*Smaller goalies, bigger pucks

 

[joepeps]

"Two More Weeks"

You took mine...

"NHL, maybe next week? "

"NHL, The Bob and Gary Show"

"NHL, expanding to Antartica"



and for real

Nike

First they show thier bring it back comericials

then

"NHL, our prairs were answered"

 

[Whirlwind]

"Be Kind to Animals, Madano's Dog is Starving"

That is freakin hilarious!

 

[Timmy]

Have the owners and players link arms and, like the weepy old coke commercials, sing, with Dennis Leary leading, "I'm an a******."

 

[Jacob]

"The NHL, sometimes we play hockey in between lockouts"

This guy wins.

 

[Riggs]

The NHL
"Instant hockey. . . Just add money!
This slogan has not been taken out of context and has been approved by the NHLPA"

 

[DaveBrown21]

C.B.A. *

* Comin' Back...Again!

 

[Mess]

McNHL

Million and Billions just got served.

 

[Shawnski]

"The NHL, it really is better than seniors lawnbowling. Really... it is... seriously.... stop laughing."

"The real red light district... now with less hooking."

 

[Captain Ron]

The New NHL...... our cba has 3 times as many pages as those other sports.

 

[crump]

They could run a commercial on NBC.

Have, say, Mario Lemieux or Joe Sakic (or someone else vaguely recognizable in the States), walking on a sidewalk in the middle of winter (heavy blowing snow). He stops by a lightpole, takes a look at a sheet on the pole, and rips it off. Camera zooms in to the sheet: "Looking for work?"

An old guy comes out of a door from what appears to be a small shop and asks "Need a job?"

Player smiles. "Sure, why not?"

Old guy opens the door revealing a massive arena and thousands of cheering fans. "Welcome back."

A WHOLE NEW GAME (or whatever slogan) appears on a black screen. Fade back to arena.

Player throws the crumpled sheet on the floor and begins to walk to the ice surface, with his back to the viewer. As he walks away, he looks back at the old man and asks with a smirk, "Wait... how much do I get paid?"

The old man shakes his head. End with cheesy music.

Revisionist piece of pro-owner fluff.

It should have the player immediately being bound and shackled, to reflect the new, unfair, communistic working conditions he will have to suffer through for the next six years.

Unfair working conditions? Last time I checked, they are still making over a milllion dollars a year...

Well, it was meant to poke fun at itself (itself being the league), not necessarily as being pro-owner or anti-player.

As for communistic working conditions, wouldn't that be the ideal (in theory) situation for any member of the proletariat?

Sorry, I should have added a . I would've thought my pro-league stance was known by now.

I actually thought it was a good idea, except for the last part.

Ah, OK. I don't read the BofH boards as much, so I should apologize for not being as familiar with the posters here and their various stances on the lockout.

As for the last part, I believe in the theory of Super Bowl commercials with the "bonus ending." I thought it might be a good idea for the league to do a little self-mockery of the reason behind the lockout.

 

[DaveBrown21]

maybe this...

"We're here until our current CBA expires."

 

[Gus Fring]

"O.K Were ready to take your money again"

"the nhl its even funner than shaving grandmas armpits"

 

[firstroundbust]

The NHL: t-minus 6 years until the next lockout...

 

[st5801]

"NHL: We capped the PA" + image of a smoking gun

 

[Tra La La]

hmm since it seems they may not change the rules, to open up the game


" Even More Boring then,Watching ice freeze"

 

[The G Man]

"Now with 10% more suckiness!"
