Oh god, the main boards are going to have a field day with this.

Oh god, the main boards are going to have a field day with this.

There's actually been a surprising number of rational people calling it a smart move, which it is. Most of the detractors have been Canucks and Bruins fans.

Johnny is so full of himself. What a joke.

 

[tyflames]

I think it is a smart move because why not get compensation for a name that was made popular because of him. But I think he will see some negative attention because of it.

Wait. You're saying the rivals we hate the most; and the guys who wanted this kid the most are ripping into him! How dare they?!

It's like a Flames fan putting Hunter Shinkaruk down; or a Leafs fan blasting Brayden Schenn.

I should of clarified, I'd like to see a skirt of one my favourite hockey players on Mrs. Hox. Life doesn't get better.

Okay whatever, I don't care. If InfinityIggy can stalk Backlund, I can wear women's Johnny Hockey clothes. It turns my crank.

Love the main board reaction.. There's one specific poster in there going off, a certain Bruins fan that's always had something about JG to pick at, haters gonna hate, I love it!

Smart move by JG, his agent is doing what every good agent would do

It's only stalking if you get caught. Until then it's 'observing'.

Before or after you go into labor?

What? I thought going into labour was a weight loss plan.

God damn it.

The sight of one T-shirt, in particular, seems to have put the wheels in motion.

When Johnny Gaudreau’s agent noticed the eye-catching slogan — “Johnny (Effin’) Hockey†— he went to work, applying for “Johnny Hockey†trademarks with patent offices in Canada and the United States.

Understandably, this garment is not something Lewis Gross wanted associated with his client, a hotshot rookie with the Calgary Flames.

“There were a couple shirts, a couple things, that were derogatory,†Craig Conroy — assistant general manager of the Flames, who was represented by Gross during his playing days — said Wednesday at the Saddledome. “Lewis said, ‘We just want to make sure we monitor it.’ And that’s all it was.

“More than anything, it was to make sure that people weren’t selling stuff that made him look bad. I mean, I think that’s what it came down to.â€

Johnny Hockey trademark backlash surprises Gaudreau camp

 

[Terrier]

I'm a frequent college hockey spectator here in Boston and "Johnny Hockey!" was a regular chant by the BC student section(I root for BU, by the way).

Yea, he made the statement that Johnny would never be popular outside of Calgary or BC. I told him he was popular in Alabama. And he is. Apparently the tread has been closed. I guess people were getting nasty. Quality entertainment
