Indeed.... God knows what might have happened if Michael Jordan had played in, oh I don't know... Chicago?Spungo said:Toronto, New York or Los Angeles. Nowhere else would Crosby be able to maximize his endorsement potential.
Powerade has added sugar..... terrible stuff for you.WhitePony said:Powerades better.
Sounds like a good idea to me, now where is Nonis's phone number?great_one98 said:So they replaced Bertuzzi with Crosby? They could've done better.

arrbez said:just because people get endorsements, it doesn't mean they're maxing out their value. would Iginla sell more jersey's in Toronto than in Calgary? Toronto has like 7x the population of Calgary, so he obviously would. It's not a knock against other cities, it's just common sense

Hm...I'm looking at a player that WAS WAYNE GRETZKY when arrived in LA. You know, the best hockey player in the world at that time. Known as the 'great one.' - I think that may have something to do with it, don't ya think?
Not some no-name junior hockey star that no one in LA will know who he is . And has yet to step on NHL in a regulation game.

shakes said:What is? Did you just randomly quote a post so you could say that the Leafs spend money on washed up players?
No just stating the facts...
kingsjohn said:This is great news for Hockey. Gatorade will do a better job of promoting him and hockey than the NHL will ever do.
You probably have never been to a hockey game before in your life.The Iconoclast said:No, I think I just proved Spunghead Squarepants wrong. The fact that Iginla has national promotional deals with multiple companies, playing in the small market of Cagary, shows that it does not matter where you are playing as long as you are at the top of your game.
And WTF is "brah"? Sounds like something you do after drinking 10 beers and eating two plates of cauliflower.

Yes, but Jesus is busy with other matters.great_one98 said:So they replaced Bertuzzi with Crosby? They could've done better.
The Habsrwilson99 said:I think Gatorade (and their trademark Lightning Bolt) would be a natural sponsorship fit for one team in particular.
ScottyBowman said:I have never seen any ads in the US with either of the two. The last Nike ads I remember seeing were the ones about 10 years ago with Roenick and Fedorov. So the point has been made. Nike is only advertising these players in Canada and not in the US. Crosby might be a different story.
