Keeping the legacy of Emerson Etem alive

what a bust

 

[CaptTennille]

Interestingly enough none of his junior jerseys are spelled LAFRENIÈRE

they’re spelled LAFRENIERE even his QMJHL jerseys are spelled that way. So interesting to see it differently.

If Gorton was smart, he would have made the accent in his nameplate an unlockable performance bonus he could only add if he hit 50 plus points next season.

This is going to be an EA Sports micro transaction for sure now.

really bummed. why does the NHL Shop let you use the apostrophes sign in Lafreniere's name? I don't know what it's called. I won't buy a jersey without the apostrophes sign in his name, like the one down below. this makes no sense. anyone know why????

Apostrophe? That’s not an apostrophe that’s an accent.

One of my favorite goals in the last decade. Love it!

Talking to the guy from Blueshirtsnation great guy. They have a Partnership with fanatics. As of now it’s going to be printed LAFRENIERE. He’s waiting to hear back from fanatics for an official notification

imagine any other pro sports league not having this figured out for their biggest Draft star? Full marketing push should have been on today get as many orders as possible. It’s not live on any nhl shop. And can’t even figure out the proper spelling on the jersey lol.

Yup. Accent grave, very subtle

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Gotta say I’m surprised they gave him a number prior to camp. That usually not their style. Wonder if Alexis was getting pressure from his sponsors to have a number for marketing purposes. Anyway 13 is cool.

There is no league worse on pro sports at marketing their stars. No one compares to the incompetence. This kid is the Canadian golden boy. Delivered a WJC gold medal French Canadian. First overall pick going to the biggest media market there is and they can’t get in a room to coordinate a marketing campaign around his jersey release? When you’re desperate for any money possible right now?

I dunno, feels like they’ve got something a little bigger to figure out first

doesn’t seem like they know what they want to do there either.

but like every other major company their marketing department is prob separate from their operations department dont Cha think?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Generational contract-signing

Lafrienièreth is going to be great.

I raise you Baseball

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

My favorite number! Glad he hopped on the bandwagon
Like I used to tell my coaches when they said it's an unlucky number, I'll make it lucky. I'm sure he's going to do the same.

I guess you move on fasth

It's really hard for me to see some of their approaches and not want to just submit a proposal on all the ways they can kick it up a notch.

But, this is also why I diversified my client portfolio many years ago. I love working in the sport, but there's other rainbows to chase.
