Do they restart the lottery if the playoffs are cancelled?

 

[Adam Michaels]

He's a Ducks fan

Maybe you misunderstood. Maybe he was just saying that he has a duck fan:

I agree with this, (except maybe for the Leafs and Bruins fan thing).

BTW, according to this, that supposedly came from the CHL top prospects media guide, he was a Chicago Blackhawks fan.

That should settle it, then.

Favourite team: Blackhawks.
Favourite playe: Patrick Kane.

And it makes sense. When he was growing up, the Blackhawks began their run of being the best team in the league.

so, i guess we wont even get him as a UFA..lol

Vinny all over again...lol

with that said, the days are numbered for the Hawks name ....team name change coming IMHO

Cleveland Indians ready to discuss changing team name


Washington and the N.F.L. Might Change the Redskins Name. Why Now?

 

[JianYang]

It doesn't really matter if he's a habs fan or not. For these kids, the game soon feels like a job after a little time in the pros, and fandom does not exist anymore.

If there's any connection that counts in the pros, it's that first connection from the team that drafts or signs the player. Thats the city which becomes difficult to leave, not the childhood team.

 

[Kimota]

You owe it to us Bettman, you owe it to us NHL, the city of Montreal started this league. Way before the supposed "original" six. So pay up!!!

 

[WeThreeKings]

No, it doesn't matter what team he cheered for.

But the guy rightfully got called out "He's a Ducks fan, believe me." Like... no?

That’s the thing, these kids were all born in 2001-02. Growing up after that, you’ve only seen awful Habs teams, so it would be very surprising for someone that age to like them.

The Blackhawks though is not an offensive term.

If you read the origin of the team name, it was from their owner in the 20's. He fought in WWI in a division they called Black Hawk. And that division was named after a Native American chieftain in Illinois named Black Hawk.

So I don't see them changing their name or logo. Because there is nothing offensive about it. If anything, they're honoring a specific Native American that was from their area.

At the end of the day, I just wanna hear that at the Entry Draft (crossed fingers):

''WITH THEIR FIRST OVERALL PICK THE MONTREAL CANADIENS SELECT FROM THE RIMOUSKI OCEANIC, ALEXIS LAFRENIERE''

i like what you’re seeing Mano

Adam, read this..I would lay good money down on the Chicago team name changing sooner or later...we live in a different world ....

Collingwood Blackhawks changing name, logo in 2020 - BarrieToday.com

The OHRC reached out to Collingwood council, and other municipalities, to explain the recent tribunal settlement and to urge Collingwood to engage Indigenous communities in discussions about the use of Indigenous-themed logos and team names in sports arenas.

“The OHRC recognizes that the use of Indigenous-themed names and logos by sports teams has been a long-standing norm in our society,” reads the letter sent to council by the OHRC. “However, it is time to revisit these pervasive images.”
The OHRC letter further states derogatory images and words such as those used in some sports logos, have a significant ability on the affected individuals and groups to participate.
“Sports are drivers of social inclusion. They bring communities together and help youth develop their self-esteem,” states the letter. “To this end, the OHRC and municipalities have a shared goal of actively removing barriers to participation in sports for Indigenous youth.”
In Hammond’s letter, he states the CMHA board is having discussions around how to ensure a new logo and name is respectful of any group that may feel represented by the new logo, how to choose a name and logo, and how to manage the cost of home and away jerseys for 400 players.

Thanks for the link.

But I don't think the Chicago Blackhawks will suffer the same fate.

It may happen. We never know. I just think that it will stay as is. I'm also not saying they won't look into it (both Chicago and the NHL). I doubt they will just dismiss it all and carry on.

 

[ryan callahan]

For every ****ass here talking trash about him being a Ducks fan, he changed his profile picture a couple of times earlier on FB with a picture of the Ducks rooting for them in their 2016 run. Idk if that is the same ''source'' as the other guy, but that is that.

thank you.

or i could have a contact in hockey who is in direct contact with the kid. Oh and i thought he was a Chicago fan? they we're in 2016's playoff.

No, it doesn't matter what team he cheered for.

But the guy rightfully got called out "He's a Ducks fan, believe me." Like... no?

you need to quote me where i say believe me, because i'm pretty sure i've always said you can believe me or not, it's a personal decision that i fully understand because i'm just an internet dude.

and yes i agree with you, it does not matter 1 bit what team he cheered for. The conversation only started because i quoted someone who said if he could pull a Lindros!

 

[ahmedou]

thank you.

Si on gagne la loterie (croisement des doigts) je vais l'inviter bouffer du canard à volonté chez moi.

You can watch the process if you want. It's a 3-hour video. I fast forwarded through it. Pretty impressive work.

Hockey at Home: Episode 5

@4:27 to @4:55

“Growing up at Saint-Eustache which is like twenty minutes away from Montreal, I watched the CH. A lot of great players have played there. So for sure growing up it was my favorite team. And I had the chance to go to the Bell Center a couple of times to watch them play. As a kid, I really dreamed to play for this team.”
