So....the new logo is being revealed in about 20 minutes.

Supposed to be a 'significant' change, according to the news.

Thoughts? Comments?

Just saw it and tbh a bit of a let down.

Not impressed.

The Habs could probably do with a new logo.

Thoughts: Iced Hockey is crap and boring

Comments: See above in the thoughts section.

Have you ever watched a hockey game?

Not exactly 21st century is it.

Pizzawheel

To not bad. The previous one was definitely due an update.

And iced hockey is pretty good to watch, way better than the kicking ball, diving and crying championships.

JamesM

Yes.

An ugly game with 3 halves.

JamesM

All about the goal tender.

If they developed Hockey in Canada like they do in Europe to be about angles, hand skills and moving the puck it might be more interesting.

Instead we get physical brutes trained to smash into people at speed.

That's why despite Canada producing more hockey players than Europe combined it has such a poor record at a junior level.

Beer League Iced Hockey is palatable.

A mod should really close this thread. Iced Hockey is not pub banter at all.

Pizzawheel

True, but now they've eliminated fighting and checking from almost everywhere except the NHL it'll change.

Remember when soccer was all about hoofing it upfield, none of this continental fancy Dan rubbish?

So what do you think of the logo?

Do we have a link showing what the new and the old logos look like?

So what sport/pastime do you regard as 21st century?

JamesM

Indifferent.

If I was able to get tickets for the leafs and beer was $7 or $8 versus $18 then it might mean something to me.

I am I said

Really...?U20
It is an even sorrier sight at the Olympics.
Go watch a pro game at ice level [second mortgage available for tickets]. It is lots of things, including incomprehensible if you are not a fan, but dull it is not.
