Can you answer these hockey questions?

The 7 wonders of my brain for the last 5 minutes.

1. Can a team change their jersey and/or logo every season without approval from other NHL owners?

2. Can a player change his name thus making his contract void?

3. If fan buys season tickets and every game gives them to stinky hobos, would the bums be kicked out for stinking?

4. Can a team decorate the visitor’s locker-room in a sexually distracting way?

5. Can a player still moonlight (a.k.a work somewhere else other than playing hockey)? What if it is a different sport... like arena football?

6. If you are a fan in California attending lets say a Kings game, can you smoke pot during intermission if it is medically necessary?

7. Can the NHL sue you if you repetitively use similar NHL team logos in your art?

Answer one, answer none, answer all...whatever.

Have a super awesome day.

Update:

Awww, Haley loves YOU! Hobo are usually stinky. They should put a bottle of Febreze on every soup kitchen table.

Meerkat: I do watch iCarly….and I have no children, so technically, I have no excuse. Spaghetti Tacos!

    1) No. The league has to approve any changes (and if you're OTT or VAN you're sending in paperwork pretty regularly). Related, Flying Tinfoil Hats nickname is still not trademarked.

    2) Player can change name but would not invalidate contract. In other words, Rosey McUnibrow still has NTC for the Leafs and Belligerent McButtondown is still GM.

    3) Only if the bums threw waffles on the ice. Or their shopping carts. You have to have standards.

    4) The Leafs already tried with a photo of Larry Tannenbaum and Richard Peddie rolling around in the nude in a big pile of money. Didn't work too well, unfortunately.

    5) Yes. Brett Lebda works at Casino Rama as a Cooler (like William Macy's character in The Cooler), and also is a professional c**kblocker. He is also available to tell your kids that Santa Claus doesn't exist. Related of other things that don't exist- this includes the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Bob McCown's moral conscience, Howard Berger's shame, Pierre McGuire's hearing, and my ability to quit drinking. And, he caused at least 20 of the #DanEllisProblems.

    6) They already do. I was at a TOR-SJ game in California in the early 2000's, went out to the smoking pavilion to light up...I was the only person out there NOT smoking pot. April 20 must be a legal holiday there.

    7) Only if you make money or say something that makes puppies feel pain. Or if you are older than 40 and live in your mum's basement.

    1. Would you pay $10 more for a hockey ticket if your seat had a tray that pulled out of the arm (like on airplanes), so that you would not have to eat nachos on your lap? A) No, but I would have spent an extra 10 bucks to get some dates I had to shut up. I once got treated to a Flyers/Rangers tilt and all I heard was how stupid hockey was and relationships, relationships, relationships. At one point I wondered what it would be like to leap from the mezzanine we were seated in at the Spectrum. 2. If the NHL initiated a mid-summer 5- game tournament between the four worst teams in the previous NHL season, which would determine 1st draft pick (and not the lottery), would you watch it? Do you think that would be more exciting than the All-Stars or about the same? Best idea ever, or I am an idiot and you want to pee in my beverage? A) Maybe at first, but I'll settle for a Maple Leafs/Kings game near the end of any regular season..... 3. There is a joke: How many emo kids does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer: F ‘em, let them cry in the dark. What other joke reminds you of Crosby? Ohhh, okay seriously, have you every cried while playing any sport? A) No. I was one of those players that made opponents cry. 4. A genie comes out of a lamp and informs you that he will not grant you any wishes. What a jerk. Instead, on the 1st day of every NHL season, he will tell you what team will win the Stanley Cup that year. The only condition…you are not allowed to gamble. Would this ruin it for you? Is it like recording a game, and the finding out the score before you watch it? A) Yeah, it would ruin it for me. I'd tell the genie to get back into the bottle, fart in it after he got in there, seal it up, and let it ferment in the hot sun. Then we'll see if he still wants to play that way..... 5. Your town is having a contest and the winner get the best tickets to every game of next season’s finals series including airfare and $10,000 in spending money. All you have to do to enter is do something nice for the community, it has to be funny or entertaining, and you have to take a picture of this deed. What do you do? A) I'd sweep the steps of City Hall dressed in a Crosby jersey. (uhh, I don't feel too good right now.....) Have a wonderful day everybody!

    1. Yes, although the NHL head office has final approval.

    2. No

    3 Yes, maybe.

    4. No, every dressing room needs to meet NHL standards and approval.

    5. Depends. They can not play another sport, but many players do run a business on the side.

    6. No smoking inside NHL arenas.

    7. Yes, the NHL logo is trademarked and is protected from unauthorized commercial use.

    I probably cannot answer them all. I am too busy worrying about all the snow we are supposed to get. If it doesn't start soon I may have to go to work tomorrow and I really wanted to call in even though I live closer than anyone else on my team.

    1. I do not know. I didn't know they had to have approval to begin with. I thought they just did it.

    2. He can change his name but....um...uh....er....I got nothin'....Again. What if a team didn't like his new name and refused to sign him. Then he would be SOL. I mean supposing he decided to change it to Sean Avery. See where I am going with this?

    3. A little beer shower would probably change that. Do you watch iCarly? They are big on hobos.

    4. And have peep holes in the showers and raffle tickets to get a prime spot in front of the peep holes?

    5. Bet not., They have it made already.

    6. Hoo boy......

    7. Sure. They are licensed, right?

    What the TWEET did you have for lunch?

    2. i think the clauses consider that. i.e. "the undersigned currently known as..."

    3. define "hobos", and "stinky". hobos are not the only ones who are stinky.

    4. i hope so. but the PC will say, don't discriminate by sexual orientation. including animals.

    5. why wait for intermission?

    7. like a puck?

    YOU have a super awesome day!
