NHL Wants Vancouver Green Men To Tone It Down
NHLStephen Douglas (CRM!)May 3rd. 2011, 6:15pm
The NBA is going to start at 7pm? Well guess what? The NHL will drop the puck at 6:30. Sure, the NHL kind of hates its fans – see below – but they’re going to make sure they get to watch a double-header and are able to get to bed at a decent hour. In the early game, Tampa Bay leads #1 seed Washington 2-0. Apparently, Nashville is the lower-seeded team willing to split the first two games on the road.
Sully and Force, the lovable idiots who dress in matching Green Man outfits for Canucks games and taunt visiting players, have been asked to stop by the National Hockey League. Specifically, they have been asked “to stop touching the glass and doing handstands.” See, it is serious issues like this that the NHL should be worried about while their sport has an incredible playoff.
Like last week when they sent a cease and desist order to a Vancouver car dealership for having “Go Canucks Go” in their window. I mean, the most important thing a sport can do is fuck with its fans, right? Don’t want anybody having too much fun.
