ElwoodCuse Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 It's like the NHL deliberately planned to make this whole thing a colossal screw-up.Thanks, Bettman! The NHL is turning into that abusive spouse that hockey fans keep making excuses for. Well, I've pretty much had enough of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL is turning into that abusive spouse that hockey fans keep making excuses for. Well, I've pretty much had enough of this.What specifically are you referring to? The fact that not all jerseys are being shown, which is kind of what was promised? Or that the league is changing uniforms at all? Or that Bettman has been an abject failure in almost everything he's done as NHL commissioner?Or is a bit of all of the above? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beesharps Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I would have thought the best possible PR the NHL could do was :- Unveil the new designs for all 30 teams on Monday- Showcase them on the actual players during the skills competition on Tuesday, because how much better could these new jerseys look than on the best players in the league doing their thing in front of the cameras on the ice?- It would also give the teams a chance to unveil the looks together, but now we have to wait and watch for 30 different press conferences over the coming months announcing new jerseys. How much are people (apart from we on this board, of course) will care come the 24th presser when Nashville unveils their new jersey, or something?Dumb, dumb, dumb. I can't believe I set my alarm for this...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 It's pretty bad, isn't it? NHL.com is only showing that same mock-up we've seen now for weeks. What a freakin' joke.(Unrelated, I love that the NHL feature on black players is called "Black Ice." It's just too much....) 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_RH_ Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 No one EVER said that the team's jerseys would be debuted today. I don't know why anyone thought that would happen...In bad news, Lukas' page says white will still not be home colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 No one EVER said that the team's jerseys would be debuted today. I don't know why anyone thought that would happen...In bad news, Lukas' page says white will still not be home colors Because it was reported by the media last week, starting with Pierre LeBrun's comment on Satellite Hotstove during Hockey Day in Canada. Other media members have also mentioned it, showing me that the NHL has misinformed not only the media but the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi_canadian Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Is it my crappy New Zealand internet server or is the RBK edge system site not working? And how can you call this year's uniforms classics? I mean Atlanta's homes a classic? or the Nashville uniforms? I think there has to be some history behind the team before the uniform can be considered a classic and maybe some simplicity to the uniforms as well.
