They have failed this city and the rest of Canada...

Montreal are 0-6-2 in the preseason. The race is on.

You know what else makes this uniform matchup so special? No ads on either team.

Either on the shoulder patch or the upper arm. If teams fill those spots with ads too, then there won't be much room left.

The black numbers balance things out on the road. I'm fine with teal pants for both.

9.5/10 It would get a perfect 10, if the crest wasn't full of orange.

At one point, no one wanted the Coyotes anymore and were owned by the League. That in itself seemed like an even bigger hassle, especially when they kept getting kicked out of their building. Re-aligning would not be a problem. But I guess TV broadcasters money is what counts.

How much viewership are the Coyotes generating? A lot of people say that there's not much attention around hockey. The part that's hard to understand is how is that crucial TV money being banked, if hockey isn't a ratings juggernaut in certain areas.

Crazy how the Browns could have been 3-0, if their kicker didn't have a brain fart for that extra point.

The Montreal Canadiens are giving away 1 jersey for free with an ad on it. Poor Habs account runner had to post a picture of an ad-free jersey, so that they don't get blasted in the comments. Like I said, they're feeling the heat. Viewers will still watch no matter what. But it gives me hope that sales will tank and the NHL will reconsider turning teams into Euro League hockey, for the sake of merch dept. employees. We shall see. Nascar toy cars have ads on them. Corporations see sports merch no differently.

Quebec City not having a team is leaving money on the table. It's become embarrassing the lengths that the league is going to. This is suppsed to be an NHL franchise. Slav is going to have a double-sized audience watching him develop in Laval.

Amazing how Quebec City still loves their team, even after they've been gone for decades.

It's nice that the number 1 hockey franchise in Arizona is sharing their building with the Coyotes. The Mullett Arena font, the seats, the guardrails, and everything are all in Sun Devils maroon and yellow colors. From the several Google pictures on the new facility, that's gonna be the building's look.

Not buy merch with ads on it is the most likely.

Sometimes I asked myself does it bother them, when they do things that no one agrees with? I thought it didn't. But then I remember that Montreal pre-planned announcing fan favorite Nick Suzuki's captaincy, immediately after the RBC announcement. They knew it was coming. Montreal may be the most vocal and passionate fanbase in the world about the sports teams and wrestling promotions that are the most popular here. That said, it may not bother the managers at the top. But I bet the Habs Twitter account runner and many media people probably had a hard time, on that day. It would have been worse without the Suzuki announcement. If they tried to tone it down, it's because they were feeling the heat. The team already makes so much cash. Then I wonder is it really worth upsetting litterally everybody?

It's about time, tbh. They are the GOLDEN Knights, after all. It made no sense that their minor league affiliate called the Silver Knights had a silver jersey, but the big club called the Golden Knights also used to have a silver jersey, or at the very least a graphite color closer to silver than gold. They finally fixed that issue.

RBC don't care about anything in regards to sports. They're not paying the Montreal Canadiens franchise a few extra dollars to have a small ambiguous ad that's barely visible on the jersey. They're here to go KHL on the Big 4.

Too bad he never got to raise Lord Stanley. Still he had a great career and was one of the best defenceman that I've seen play to ever wear a Habs jersey.

Jersey ads belong in the trash.

It's going to take a little while to get used of the black numbers. But it's a good choice of font.

Yeah, if the ratings tank, that could send a message too.
