I just put half my winnings I got from them beating the leafs on then to win the cup.
(Yes I wanted to profit after being disappointed by the leafs)

Habs win, I win.. habs lose, I still come out on top.
F the habs.

Wankers.

I live in Ottawa and our public health twitter dunks on the Leafs every chance they get. Dunking on the Leafs is practically a national sport. It's real nice that the rest of the country supports Toronto's baseball and basketball teams, but the Leafs are the reviled hockey team. Just lean into the role and stop feeding this bullshit media-driven, "Cheering for the Canadian team". That's for the politicians and CBC, that's it. When we do eventually make it ain't no way local landmarks will be lit up in blue and white anywhere else.

As lame as this is (and it's really lame, and sad that we live in a world where supporting the enemy is OK), if the Leafs had taken care of business it would be their colours up there right now. So, while it sucks that this is happening, it's a nice reminder for our organization that they have to be better.

Have the Tower people responded to any of the backlash?
 
Haven't you guys ever played the Six degrees of separation of Kevin Bacon before?

Bell/Rodgers are part ownership of the MLSE and the Leafs, but Montreal Canadiens play out of the Bell Centre .

The building officially became the Bell Centre on September 1st, 2002 following a transaction between Molson and Bell Canada in February 2002 for the naming rights.

Bell Canada is one of the main assets of the holding company BCE Inc., formerly known as Bell Canada Enterprises. In addition to the Bell Canada telecommunications properties, BCE also owns Bell Media (which operates mass media properties including the national CTV Television Network) and holds significant interests in the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey club and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment,

Bell Canada to Purchase CN Tower in Toronto

16 September 2012


TORONTO, Ontario -- Bell Canada faces controversy over its decision to purchase the CN Tower some time this year. Following in the wake of Rogers Communications' purchase of the sports stadium known as the SkyDome and its subsequent renaming as the Rogers Centre, Bell is planning to rename the CN Tower if the purchase is approved.

Bell Canada to Purchase CN Tower in Toronto

Since Bell Canada has their hands in the pockets of both sports teams, and their link to the CN Tower as 3rd connection thus the colours of the Kings of the North currently on display.

Did the purchase go through?
 
The fact that everyone is pissed off makes me love it. This should be another wake up call for the boys in blue. Your hometown is lit up in the colors of your biggest rival and the team that just bounced you out of the 1st round. If they have any pride, any guts they'll feel angry/embarrassed by this and come out better next year. I like it. For the record i'm fully supporting Montreal for the next round, destroy the narrative that the North is weak. If they make the finals I hope they get swept :) but win the next one for the North.

But this is great, the Leafs should be embarrassed for their effort. Imagine they actually cared and have the CN tower lit in blue/white. One can only hope this is another motivating factor.

Not sure, however the CN Tower is a telecommunications tower in Toronto as its primary purpose. Tourism its secondary purpose.

Its main purpose is TV and Radio broadcasting of which Bell Canada is its largest client with both CTV broadcasting and multiple Radio stations

The CN Tower has been and continues to be used as a communications tower for a number of different media and by numerous companies.

So even if Bell does not officially own it, they do operate out of it. So they likely have a lot of pull and involvement in this decision.

Maybe, but are fans really pissed off? maybe a day or two, but after that no one will care.

The things people get needlessly worked up over... I've read in this thread, someone should get fired, how this is outrageous, people it's a light on a tower... nothing more nothing less .. just a light on a tower...

#outragenationisatitagain, #outragenation
 
I could see the owners of the CN tower doing this if they lost a bet...

I would really like to see the Leafs players show that they are as outraged by this as the fans.

Stop the fake news. Firstly, there is no civic duty when it comes to cheering for a Canadian team to win the cup that's a ridiculously dumb opinion.

In 2006 no flames fan wanted the Oilers to win

Southern Ontario was absolutely full of bandwagon Oilers fans in 2006 who curiously stopped caring about the team entirely on June 20.

Yeah, this was me and I wholeheartedly regret my decision knowing what I know about the Bruins now.

Also anyone who posts 'cuck' unironically is a cuck.

You have to admit it would have been funny if they'd renamed it the Bell Tower and not had any actual bells inside.
 
This is pathetic. Political correctness run amuck. This is a sports rivalry -- embrace it -- nothing wrong or unhealthy about it. You don't light your iconic tower to show support for your rival just because they play in Canada. I said the same thing when the Vancouver Canucks tweeted out, "Congrats Connor!" when Connor McDavid scored 100 points. Are you kidding me with this stuff? Let's just cancel sports, competition, rivalries, fandom, etc. altogether and sit in a big circle and hold hands. :thumbd:
 
It would seem that a lot of local hockey fans really do need to get a life.
