A small price to pay for the man who washes your jock strap every couple of days I would say.

You don't wash jock straps.

Ever.

 

[Lemonlimey]

Hopefully he can bring Von back with him

Ever.

Wait, you don't?

 

[not a troll]

Wait, you don't?

Nope, I just replace it once every 10 years or so.

The owner of the Avs also owns the Rams, so its a battle between the owner and the equipment manager

Kroenke money can get you far

I love our locker room. Seems like such a good group of guys.

It’s like cast iron. Ineffective unless properly seasoned.

Until Mackinnon yells at them in the 2nd round.

Yeah true true

 

[jetsforever]

Awesome, hope he has a good time

I’m not that much of a football fan, but I’m pulling for the Bengals this Super Bowl. The team has always been terrible. It’d be cool to see them win the big one before they go back to being an easy win for the opposition.

 

[Marshall]

Good on ya, boys.

Matthews does this like 20-40 times per year

yeah well mcdavid does it 21-41 times a year with his eyes closed

Great gesture, they didn't have to do it, and I'm sure the guy means a lot to them and the team... but, I'm going to be that guy that says that this is pretty much the equivalent of any of us tossing in $5 or $10. But they didn't have to do it.

Lauren Gardner told about that On The Fly

Great gesture. Very common for the players to take care of these guys at the end of the year and christmas. They do a lot of the small things people don't know about or realize. They are sort of the middle ground between management and the players, so they have to balance things. And, they take care of a lot random things for the players. In many ways they are almost used as a concierge service at times. For example, when Larkin took a shot that hit the glass in warm up and knocked someones beer over, he went to equipment manager, asked him if he had 20 bucks, told him to go get that fan another beer, and he could grab a 20 from his locker.

If anyone has read The Game by Ken Dryden or Life on the Run by Bill Bradley (both account of the 70's in their respective sports) they would know what these guys mean. On an even more nefarious side, in baseball its common to tip the club house attendants who are basically concierges for the away team, and one of them was found to be the go to guy for hooking up an illegal mixture (by baseball rules) to increase grip for pitchers.

I cleaned mine and had Kenta "Mr Magic" Nilsson smell it on swedish local news

 

[TheRarestDangles]

Worst organization in the league. Proof that hockey has a culture problem. Oh wait wrong thread.

 

[LaCarriere]

But did they pay for pizza, nachos, wings and beer? No? Second rate organization.
