Why not just do President's Trophy? That's what the Blues did. Though I don't see the point in a "Western Conference Champions" banner for 2018-19.

Detroit did both as well:

The Rangers have a banner for this that goes back well before the NHL created the President's Trophy, so they're probably just trying to be consistent with their own internal precedent. The President's Trophy only goes back to 1986, and the Rangers history goes back a lot further than that.

Yea it's pretty obvious why it says it, OP trolling as usual though.

Anything that isn't a Cup banner is sad. Imagine being proud of winning an 8-team division.

Imagine winning the Cup in a 6-team league...

Let teams do what they want.

Winning the President's Trophy is a pretty rare and difficult accomplishment so I don't really see an issue with it.

RogerRogerr · 2024-10-16T10:52:19-0400

It is comical, even if there are reasons for it.

CupofOil · 2024-10-16T10:56:59-0400

Damn, you're an Original 6 franchise steeped in history. You shouldn't have to resort to this Rangers. At least raise it as "President Trophy Champs".

I know you're trying to make a joke, but I do really wonder if teams actually raised regular season banners back then.

I think it became a thing later on.

The Bruins used to have individual banners for division champs, etc (mostly to compete with all the Celtics championship banners) but have since consolidated it to 1 banner for each non Cup milestone and they list the years

This is not that bad if that’s the case.

SheldonJPlankton · 2024-10-16T11:05:41-0400

It seems to me an accomplishment worthy of a banner. It is, after all, a NHL championship trophy...on par with the Stanley Cup and more prestigious than the Prince of Wales Trophy and Campbell Bowl awarded for playoff conference championships.

Lots of teams are unworthy. They fail to win. They are never regular season champions. They are never the regular season runner-up. They are never Stanley Cup champions. They are never Stanley Cup finalists. They simply embrace their putrid mediocrity. Those are the pretenders deserving of scorn and mockery.

I don’t see how it’s bad even in the slightest degree. It’s a f***ing banner, and the President’s Trophy is literally for the regular season champions.

Teams put up banners for winning the division so how could this possibly be worse?

John Price · 2024-10-16T11:07:10-0400

and people shit on the caps for raising their president trophy banners this is much worse

the rangers are an original six franchise they are above this

kobe Bryant once said the only banners that should be raised are title ones. this doesn't count

I agree, but there are lots of banners for winning a four team division. I've always thought it has something to do with baseball (MLB and pre-MLB) where winning your division useed to be a really big deal.

Prettyisland · 2024-10-16T11:10:18-0400

islander and devils fans can have their fun with this. Other then that why would you care lol

Pure Slaughter Value · 2024-10-16T11:15:10-0400

So the actual award/trophy is the President's Trophy but they somehow decided to change the name to Regular Season Champions?

It is dumb. Any franchise would get mocked for something so idiotic.

As mentioned here, they used this wording before the trophy even existed.

And considering half this thread, including myself, put the apostrophe in the wrong spot, maybe this wording is better.

First part, who cares? It's now called the Presidents trophy, which is what the banner should be labeled with

Second part, touche!

I don’t really care about this, but since it’s the Rangers I’m going to make fun of them for it because f*** the Rangers

Tie Domi Esquire · 2024-10-16T11:19:17-0400

Fans should get a banner if they waste their time watching every regular season game.

don't most teams raise a president's trophy banner?

They dont say “regular season champions” they say “presidents trophy winner”

There is no championship given out for the regular season. This is incredibly tacky and “pick me girl” energy.

Have you not been to a game of your favorite team? Because they have banners for division championships.

I should probably get back to work. :laugh:

Wouldn’t mind the Habs doing the same for their non Stanley Cup accomplishments. Great idea!

Division championships are more accepted than regular season championships in terms of wording. You actually win something tangible for winning a division, you get home ice. You dont win anything for being “regular season champions” just a trophy that no players actually wants to win, and it usually a curse as most “regular season champions” dont fair well in the playoffs. Regular season championships is tack because no one wins the regular season. It’s for seeding for the playoffs which are the championships of the NHL. I have no issue with banners, i have issue with ‘regular season champions” on banners.

CantHaveTkachev · 2024-10-16T11:27:50-0400

not as bad as calling the Super Bowl winner, "World Champions" lol

It’s not for seeding. The seeding would be the same whether or not the trophy itself exists.
