auxlepli 17 Report post Posted September 1, 2007 Is there anybody who doesn't like them? I like most of them. I don't like the ones that perpetrate the fighting stereotype, especially when the NHL is trying to distance itself from Todd Bertuzzi, Marty McSorley, and Chris Simon like incidents.

The NHL should be playing up the fighting aspect of the game. It's always been part of the game, and the fans like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auxlepli 17 Report post Posted September 1, 2007 Link to Simon incident. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Simon#2..._and_suspension Look I don't want to get into this whole should fighting be allowed in hockey debate, and that's precisely why I don't think those billboards should mention it. It's something non-hockey fans always throw in our faces. Hell Rodney Dangerfield used the boxing one as punchline to watching a hockey game. And do you all think the assault and battery one should be used when, rightly or wrongly, Bertuzzi was charged with assault and battery? I think it reflects negatively back to the NHL. It's like an NFL team having a billboard saying our players don't kill dogs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auxlepli 17 Report post Posted September 1, 2007 Me thinks you're taking these ads a tad too seriously. That may be. How do you think non-hockey fans will take them? Some I imagine will take them "hell they're taking swipes at our sport, let's get them back." In fact that's already happened. I posted the Nancy one on another board and immediately they started defending the NFL and attacking hockey. Soon I bet they'll appear on ESPN tv and radio shows like Sportscenter and Mike & Mike and more attacks will come. I'm just sayin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the NHL should go around worrying about what Mike and Mike or NFL fans think. If people have already made up their minds that hockey sucks, billboards aren't going to change their mind one way or their other. What would you suggest in place of these billboards? They're funny and they get people talking. I'd have to imagine that's what the designers were going for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted September 8, 2007 more clever marketing from Dallas Just a bit more on the Dallas Stars' PR to woo fans. Just curious, does Detroit do anything even remotely like this? I would go, if I were in Dallas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted September 8, 2007 Dallas has the best marketing team in the NHL. They haven't been girled up by the new NHL like most, and they aren't lazy sloathes that are just to collect a paycheck (the Wings advertising team comes to mind).
