  1. I haven't been able to find anything about it, but at the preseason NHL game in Halifax last night between the Bruins and Canadiens, during the pregame ceremony, they were honoring a former scout of the Bruins who was from Nova Scotia who passed away recently. As a token of his appreciation, the Bruins organization presented his widow, at centre ice, with a 2011 Stanley Cup Championship ring. This is first instance I've heard anything about the Bruins' ring as looking it up anywhere gives me no news about it.

    The entire bruins team get their rings tonight

  2. Thanks for the kind words.

    To add my 2cents to this. I see where both of you are coming from, but to that point if your going to try and hang mac then you have to hang EVERY player or coach who has ever sold their championship ring.

    I don't think the two situations are analogous at all.

    Unless there are players who are ordering extra rings specifically to sell on the secondary market.

    I don't begrudge anyone selling their own property. If Mac, or Aaron Rodgers, or the pro shop day shift manager wants to sell their own ring, that's their business. I'm only objecting to him setting up a little cottage industry selling first-run rings to people not entitled to order them on their own.

    Ah but many players have done that, Look into Nebraska ring scandal

  3. To add my 2cents to this. I see where both of you are coming from, but to that point if your going to try and hang mac then you have to hang EVERY player or coach who has ever sold their championship ring. We all know that every day players are selling their rings. Just look at my collection. I understand that being a shareholder is an elite club, but mac's not the first person to sell a shareholders ring. I have one from 1996, bought it off craigslist from a shareholder. Also I have a Board of Directors ring AND a 1997 Packers NFC championship ring. So are those people horrible people? No they were people who either needed the money or didn't wear the ring so wanted someone else to enjoy it. I don't go out and claim I'm a shareholder. I don't claim that I played on any of the teams that I have rings for, if someone askes I tell them that I collect rings.

    But I am a die hard packer fan! Got the helmet tattooed on me and went to every playoff game including the super bowl this past year. I can't help it that the packers offered stock when i was only 13. If they would change their rules about people who have stock being able to sell it then i would be a shareholder. But once you buy stock it's yours for live which I disagree with. In my opinion if your a shareholder and want to sell your stock, the Packers should buy it back then resell it. That way the seller can't rape you for it, and the pack can still keep track of who is a shareholder. Just my 2 cents, also gothamite I like the blog you got keep up the good work!
