Do all these lockout-proof contracts make a lockout more or less likely? Like, if they have to pay out half the league's salary in signing bonuses anyway, maybe it's not worth it?

on-ice ads are awful and terrible in every possible way. casual observers have a hard enough time seeing the puck, those things just make it impossible, even with HD feeds. jersey ads aren't the end of the world I have some SWL jerseys and they're neat. it's stupid as hell on the socks and helmets tho

I hate change and they look stupid as hell. But I suppose if/when they do put ads on jerseys. I'll just complain loudly then continue to watch.

So the Marlies hired the guy who scored from his own goal line on Toskala as an assistant coach. This goal: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=inT0MU5w68c

It's the only goal Toskala allowed and the Leafs won that game.

the problem with ads on, at least, Canadian jerseys is that it's going to be the same idiots who advertise during nationally televised hockey Kraft Home Hardware East Side Mario's and generally, Gillette, MAN THING, and other hokey loving poo poo. I think they'd see at least an initial downturn and negative plateau in merchandise and an uptick in ripoff pre-merch era jerseys. I'm sure their numbers guys have already predicted this and this is why it isn't happening soon.

Of course they're going to, but I believe the NBC deal ends in 2021, the CBA in 2022, and the Rogers deal in 2026. Assuming they don't exercise the opt-out clause on the CBA two years earlier, if anything, the NBC contract is going to work to prevent a lockout.

They already have superimposed ads at baseball games, and I found the ads superimposed on the glass less distracting than the ones that covered up existing board ads during the WCH. Ads on jerseys don't bother me. Ads on ice would.

Ligur posted:hay guyz how is the Leafs defence? Their top six this year is probably gonna be Gardiner/Rielly/Zaitsev/Carrick/Marincin/Hainsey which is fine. Their biggest problem last year was relying on Hunwick/Polak for serious shutdown stands towards the end of the game, and I dunno if they've done anything to fix that, but outside of that they're probably average to above average.

But they've had ads in the neutral zone for like 20 years now. And that's clearly been enough for them, no ones ever tried to cover the entire surface like minor league or euro teams.

Would've preferred 8 years, but this is fine. I guess Armstrong also wanted longer term if the negotiations dragged out this long only for that contract to be signed.

Ice Jerseys is having a two-day sale on jersey customization, $10 on any jersey they sell. This is important because 1, they do high quality tackle twill stuff, 2, it includes the vintage line, and 3, they have no limits on retired or traded players (although your FUCCBOI 69 jersey is probably a no-go).

I don't really care if they have ads on jerseys. And if it's 60 million league wide, that's 2 million per team, which is pretty good profit for doing basically nothing. Especially if your just a break even team, that puts you into a profit. I just hope that every team has a "Dynamic Fasteners" patch on the rear end of their pants.
