blaines1 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 The Drawing is open to all legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. Is there a different site for Canadians to enter the draw of is this just another polite way of ignoring the Country that keeps the NHL above water?

CareyPrice31 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 *Facepalm* Does the league hate Canadians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjamessauve Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 *Facepalm* Does the league hate Canadians? Gary Bettman hates Canada. This is *****! The district of Columbia gets to enter the draw but not Canada?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony1234 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I guess someone made them feel guilty......Sportsnet said they will now have a draw for Canadian fans. Bad that they overlooked us, but good they realized the mistake and are trying to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjamessauve Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 http://blackhawks.nhl.com/team/app/?servic...rticleid=391780 Good way to apologize to us Canadians although they don't officially say sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franck5890 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I don't understand the fuss; there are Canadian-exclusive hockey contests and sweepstakes all the time, not to mention that neither team playing in the game is Canadian. If they want the contest only open to the 52 states, all the power to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there's no Canadian teams but people always forget that the majority of NHL players are Canadian, and the Hawks captain, Jonathan Toews, is from Winnipeg.

tmash Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 In Darren Dreger's blog he said the NHL set up a seperate drawing for Canadians. Apparently it was originally open to only US residents due to some lottery rules. But I have no idea where you can register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuniorSTLB Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Gary Bettman hates Canada. This is *****! The district of Columbia gets to enter the draw but not Canada?!!

SteenIsThaFuture Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 People who think Bettman hates Canada are EDIT, he simply follows the wants of the NHL owners. Its not a hard concept to follow, the NHL is a business and its doing everything in its power to garner as much money. Why pay attention to Canada? Its practically a given source of revenue that needs no further advertisement, do you see the NFL spreading the word about the sport around the states? The NHL still respects Canadians and its fans, they gave us the freakign All-Star game and drafy because they knew how special this year was to us, but you don't try and sell a product to a guy whose already writing up the check. Edit: Please refrain from using words like the one that I deleted, it only leads to arguments. GHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
