NHL tells Rock 101: no crushing the Cup
VANCOUVER/CKNW AM980
Brett Mineer Email news tips to Brett
4/29/2011

The NHL's New York lawyers have been busy today.

Radio station Rock 101 has received a cease and desist order regarding signage and contests during the playoff's so far.
Promotions director Aaron Buckley calls it ridiculous.

He says it's Vancouver's team, we're big hockey fans, supporters of the team.

The letter mentions a Rock 101 promotion where fans could take a sledge-hammer to an old van bearing the Blackhawks or Nashville Predators logo before the game.

That's a fundraiser for the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and the sign says "...crush for the Cup"...and the Cup, apparently is a little too close to the Stanley Cup for the NHL's comfort.

He says the colours used on the cardboard sign they stand next to the van are copy-righted.

Buckley says they will comply, but may have to get creative.

Vancouver Kingsway Honda received a similar letter for painting the words "Go Canucks Go" and a stick and puck logo on a showroom window.

Rock 101 is owned by Corus entertainment, the same parent company as CKNW.

Or offer a random employee $20 so you can use his/her discount card :troll:

Blank or with name?

They should make a really long sign that reads,

" Crush for a Cup that is not affiliated with the NHL, Gary Bettman or any other high profile organizations that hates kids "

Gumby 04-29-2011 03:22 PM

Geez, this is getting lame. Don't those lawyers have something better to do - like figure out what to do with Phoenix/Atlanta/Winnipeg/etc?

Bylsma deserves it for sure. Missing there franchise players for good chunks of the season and they still finished with 106 points.

edit: forgot a space

Don't blame the lawyers, blame the owners.

Kinda like Lululemon and their "Cool Sporting Event That Takes Place in British Columbia Between 2009 and 2011" clothing line?

U can say the same for AV with his crippled D Core. But i think Bylsma probably deserves it. Losing Crosby, Malkin and Staal for half the season each and doing wat they did was pretty amazing

punkwax 04-29-2011 04:23 PM

^ Naw, our D core issue was bad, but no where near the likes of losing Crosby and Malkin.

The thing about these commercials are they are so easy to make spoofs out of them.
Don't even know which ones are official NHL ones anymore.

And what's with Luongo "diving" upon any little contact.
That save was great, but was it really necessary to flop down like that.
And he even got up the "wrong" way by rolling over with his back
facing the play. Even if he knew Fisher was the only threat and the puck was in the corner,
it's just bad habit to ever turn away from the play as a goalie.

Super cheap and easy to make.

Same background music
Same generic tag line
Use game high lights
Minor edit

MG1 04-29-2011 06:09 PM

WTF? The anthem singing is so lame. Where are the fans? What kind of series is this?

MG1 04-29-2011 06:10 PM

I hope the Sharks and Red Wings beat the living snot out of each other and go to game 7. Each game going into double OT.

Blah_Teggie 04-29-2011 06:17 PM

Anybody notice how the Canucks Pred series starts at 6pm our time while the Sharks Wings series start at 7? Both are PST teams facing a team in the EST zone. NHL conspiring against Canucks?

I failed you because I feel like you're trolling. I'll gladly remove it if you can support your opinion so we in this thread can have some debate. Off-nights are boring on RS.
