He still is the face of Canadian hockey, and has been for years. Has endorsements with Rogers, Timmy Ho's and others.

The $$ is not what people think it is in hockey endorsements.

The guy is the best player on the planet and makes peanuts compared to the best players on the planet in other sports

There is a local factor that comes into endorsement deals. Put a bona fide super star in Toronto, and your household name companies (Ford, Chevy, Samsung, Coca-Cola, etc.), all of which have their own separate marketing budget in Canada, will come knocking.

its friday. im going to the liquor store.

Canadian Hoists the cup 1st...Canadian wins Conn Smyth.


- Garnie

He may have won the Conn Smythe, but he certainly didn't deserve to. Reputation pick to save face for the face of hockey, the manly face that can't grow a beard.

It's the exact reason I'm not going tonight. Not to mention all the fans that will sell to Toronto fans. Just not worth it. I've gotten heckled by Canadian fans before in my own arena and I won't do it again.

yeah i dont blame ya..

poop gets pretty heated when they invade other cities

^^^THIS^^^
this is why I don't think it changes his mind on where he plays
- jzabawaj

He sorta already has his mind set, unless something crazy happens (like $12Mill + offer from Buffalo).

Damn it Cab...

It's lunch time for me

anderson looked good with the ducks d in front of him

IMO the leafs need 2 really good d men and I am not sure where they are coming from since there is crap out there in free agents

Why don't you bring something to conversation or just keep your mouth shut.

Just because im hungry

They could use 1... Rielly, Zaits, Gards are all top4 easily.

And im amazed at how much time people spend arguing over their percieved value of a player on a team they both cheer for when they have no influence over weather he's traded, what he's traded for, how he's coached, what position he plays, etc.
Keep on keeping on. Try not to have a stroke over it.

And I'm surprised about the amount of times we get the "holier than thou" responses when people try to talk about hockey on a hockey website. Get off your horse, it's a conversation that is relevant to the day. You want to talk about Buffalo and Toronto for another 6 pages? God forbid I talk about, gasp, hockey.

Embarrassing moment for the Leafs, indeed!
What can you expect from the French...

the people of england said screw the french this week

its friday. im going to the liquor store.

This is a good post

For what it's worth I've always found Canadien fans in the arena are far more difficult to deal with than Maple Leaf fans

2011 World Juniors was the worst. 18,000 canadians and me in my Russian Ovechkin Jersey. Got told to go home on my own train downtown. The ride back was much sweeter though

He would probably rather be the chief cheese officer and tell us about how much he used to sweat.

lol... this is why other fans laugh at you guys.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

Typical response.

Hard to say, teams can talk with him tomorrow. Stamkos knows where he wants to play.
- SABRES 89

Hope plan b is ready if thats the case.

Why wouldn't they now? It's the same for any market.

Look at how many dumb commercials Rex Ryan does for Northtown Auto, Tops and others.

The difference in the money from our market to theirs wouldn't be drastic.

wild card IMO
boom or bust

I don't know anything about them, but are any of them top 2? Sabres have a lot of guys who are top 4, it's just hard getting those top 2 guys.

Depending on what you were convicted of, it sounds like you may not be inadmissible. Have you ever been denied entry?

Oh well, what do you do.

I think we're still using equipment from the 1980s when local businesses make commercials
