A private company has every right to sell there product to whomever they want. Pharmaceutical companies are no different. This isnt teams jumping the que on a publicly funded vaccination effort like with H1n1. Pfizer-BioNTech was a complete privately funded creation. Im guessing the NHL had numerous production contracts with different companies. People can be upset about the morality of it, but theres nothing ethically wrong. Its a prime example of free market economy.

It’s actually pretty easy to argue ethical and moral wrongs here.

Correct. The rich live and the poor die.

A sign that 2020 is not some messed up part of our imagination: Jonathan Toews continues to be grossly overrated. That, unfortunately, continues to be a reality.

Jerseys will be next.

It works for 'real' football. They just need to stay classy, like, less than four sponsor logos...seeing some of the Euro league jerseys and ice sponsors makes it impossible to see the team logo, player name, or number lol

Hell, it creates a bigger jersey market because, I mean, you gotta get a new one everytime a new primary sponsor shows up, right? Don't wanna look out of the loop!

No thanks

Hate the bottom one (maybe better on the back). A patch on the other side of the chest sure.

Some adjustments to the divisions still. Not totally agreed upon yet but I’m sure it doesn’t change where we are.

Listen... just pull the bandaid off quickly. It's inevitable. Just do it and let people complain. Revenue continues. Owners/players like it. It sadly grows the game.

No it doesn't "grow the game". It creates a revenue stream at the risk of alienating SOME (not a lot, we will all survive it) fans. Does nothing for hockey's footprint or the game in general. Could be great for the league's bottom line.

But, tbh, I would consolidate my next TV deal before having to deal with that backlash (because there will be an initial backlash).

What are we assuming is happening?

Outside of some hack 5th round wanker that couldn’t make it on a horrid DRW team.
