Oh they do have very strict rules because space is limited. Unfortunately the rules extend only to players (you have to play a minimum 41 games in the regular season, and at least once in the playoffs), and not owners.

Is it even on the real cup? Or is it just on the duplicate

The article on nhl.com doesn’t even mention it despite the accompanying picture with his wife and kids on it. I think he just wanted his name to be on it more than other owners. Dude seems like a real pos

head coach Paul Maurice

Is it just me or have the same 9 guys coached every single NHL team on a rotating basis for the last two decades? In three years some expansion team in Austin or fucking New Orleans will make the finals in year one and the coach will be either this guy or Tortorella.

As a Panthers fan, Viola’s family all hold positions within the team organization. Dundon’s kids don’t. One of them is under 10 years old.

the panthers’ owners’ family members are adults and have at least had official nepo jobs with the organization for years. tom dundon included family members who are still children, one of them is 7 years old.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with subprime lending, it just means lending money to people with no access to credit or bad credit scores. 

And the AAF folded 3 months after his investment when they failed to reach an agreement with the NFLPA on sharing players. He didn’t lose any money on that, as they never used the cash lifeline he was throwing them. 

What happened to shame??? I used to google the right spelling of a word before posting it just to save myself the embarrassment.

Yeah I’m kind of stupid. I also meant to directly link to the post from the NHL sub but did that wrong.

for the record and everyone else:

the city is on the hook for $480 million if we do nothing.

so he’s complaining about $120 million for renovations.

I only hope he has the opportunity to desecrate an NBA championship trophy this time next year!

Trump sets a bad example of “well this guy can be a blatantly obvious dickhead and still be the president, why shouldn’t I act like a blatantly obvious dickhead, what’s the worst that will happen”

And he’s not the first to do it

Which team?

Normally the family members on the cup are those employed by the team. Nepo-hires, definitely, but they’re still part of the org.

In this case, I don’t know what role a 4 year old plays on the team?

Not in the nhl. Jordan Staal, Hurricane’s captain is the first with the Stanley cup and then it’s passed to each player and then coaches. Owners are almost last.

Yea fuck this guy for turning around the Canes and bringing a Stanley Cup back to NC. He doesn’t know shit!

Seriously, first we can’t make statues now we can’t even engrave? Back to the stone age artistically.

Consistent with the entitlement Dundon has shown in the NBA

Like hiring a coach to a one year guaranteed contract. Like kicking your staff out of their hotel rooms early and making them loiter in conference rooms for hours.

James Dolan’s family getting on stage to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy and receiving rings on the next opening day before any players or coaches

Owners do not list every single family member on the cup before the team.

the owner’s family won the stanley cup? that’s incredible

There’s only been one other instance of an owner putting their name on the cup in the over 100 years history of that award. It makes him look like a fool

The players name should be put in before the owners. Also, did his family play for the team or something? Why not just “Dundon family”?

The team won, the billionaire scumbag just owns the team that did the winning

You must care because you spoke up about it.

I would read the post again. It’s not that the owner put his name on the cup….its that he put his entire family (who I assume aren’t apart of the organization)

Billionaire oligarchs are corrupt, contemptible scum. They deserve even more vitriol and scorn.

The owner’s name is whatever, the entire family one by one is kinda crazy.

Manfred is that you?

One of the worst things in sports is that the trophy gets handed to the owner. 

This is not good ownership…

Hmmm why does the poor Blazers owner get picked on daily here but not the other 29 owners if it is simply an issue with the concept of the owners?

Don’t be tone deaf just for the sake of ds some billionaires that would happily snap their fingers to kill you to make another $100k.

Owning a team doesn’t mean you can just put your family, who seemingly are not apart of the organization, on the Stanley Cup.

Some people just like the taste of boots.

Nah if I the money to buy the team I would never do something this tacky. Heck I wouldn’t even go near the trophy because this is the players and coaches accomplishment not mine.

Yes, he didn’t pay billions indeed. He paid 420 millions of dollars for an investment that earns you billions.

The lack of class and tackyness, as well as lack of respect for people who work for you and increase the value of your assets comes for free.
