Changing the trophy names
is ridiculous. I felt the same way when they changed the old conference and division names. If you don’t know who the old names represent look it up. There will come a time when these new names won’t mean anything either to the youngsters.
Thank you.
As a cantankerous history teacher, I’m completely tired of people trying to take the important past, wadding it up, and tossing it in the garbage can. People have the attention span of gnats anyway (I had soooo many blank stares this period when I mentioned it was Pearl Harbor Day), so we need to do everything we can to keep the accomplishments of the old founders of hockey alive.
I’d love it if we went back to the old conference names at the very least.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

eh
if they do it, they just need to do it again, they taking peeps that were foundational 50-100 years ago, and replacing them with peeps foundational to hockey 20-40 years ago. becomes a cycle once they pull that crap.
they have plenty of nameless awards they can stick a name to (the plus/minus leader for one). nhlpa awards, media awards, individual team awards (look ino the 10 yearly awards the flyers give themselves).
the want the kiddies to remember orr and gretzky and howe, then man hockey assessable and front the new accessability with howe and orr and gretzky. dued they all still alive,a nd wqayno is no longer solided by being a sucky coach!
hands up bob plager lovers?
ok how many with your hands up love him cos of his post hockey days. how many didnt even see him play in the note, or were fans of a non blues team back then?

Meh
It’s just some talking head floating the idea, I don’t think they’ll actually do it. And I agree, keep the names, I don’t know why hockey has to throw everything out the window every few years. It’s hard enough keeping up with the rule changes, let’s keep a sense of history.
True Story!
I have a can of Heinz Microwaveable Spotted Dick Sponge Pudding on a shelf at home. Dad found it in the International Foods section at Meijer’s in Springfield, IL. It made Mom laugh, they bought 2 cans. The other one is somewhere else in the house, not sure anyone knows exactly where . . . probably in the pantry or something.
I bring it to the office once a year to see how many chuckles I can get out of folks about it.
One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.
