Habs cry to NHL about Montreal 911 shirt

Written by Justin on .


Rumors circling around the Internets were true -- the NHL and Canadiens have sent BottomLine Apparel (creator of the Montreal 911 shirt) a cease and desist letter, claiming logo infringement... aka, the Canadien organization is a bunch of assmunchers.

From Rob's blog:

With some help from our blogger friends at Days of Y’Orr and Bruins Blog, we managed to sell quite a few shirts. We got orders from all across the county and even some from Sweden and Germany.

Then the orders from Canada began to pour in.

I was psyched to learn that the Bruins would be represented well in enemy territory next week, but I was also curious about the source of my new-found Canadian fame…

Then Larry from Montreal called and told me our Anti-Habs shirt was featured on LCN, a 24-hour news station in Montreal. I still haven’t found a link or video, but now I had a reason for all the Canadian sales.

Pretty cool, right?

Well, it was… until I got a Cease & Desist letter from the NHL. That’s right folks. Not only are the Montreal Canadiens still trying to mess with Zedeno Chara’s head before he’s forced over the border for Games 3 & 4… but they’re messing with my right to make a buck by making fun of them for their extreme yahoo-like nature!

Wow. Fucking lame. You suck, Montreal. 

What this boils down to is that Rob has to stop selling the shirts. If you ordered one, you'll get it but he can't take any more orders. We think Rob's perfectly in his right with this shirt but there's no way a small Boston businessman can take on the NHL. That's David vs. Goliath but money trumps all. Rob says to send him picture of you in his shirt though for his site.

We can't say we're overly surprised by this. This is the same franchise that mande Habs Inside and Out change it's name because it didn't want the blog to use the word "Habs" (it's now Hockey Inside and Out). Yes, the Canadiens organization is this retarded.

What a farce this "glorious" and "historical" franchise has become.

Clearly the organization is embarassed by the fact that it's fanbase is as unstable as a loose screw and then pandered to its fans fragile pysche. Why else would a professional hockey team care what a small Boston t-shirt stand is doing?

Suck it, Montreal. We can't wait to watch your city burn after the Bruins sweep you again.

DOY and Beards!

Written by Greg Ezell on .

DOYbeards
The Boston Bruins are once again doing their playoff Beard-a-thon to help raise money for the Boston Bruins Foundation. The idea of the Beard-A-Thon is for the fans to shave their face before the playoffs and grow an unsightly amount of facial hair while other people donate money. Again, all of this money goes to the Bruins Foundation.

So Days of Y'Orr decided that it's time to expand our hijinks from more than just experimenting on the Youppi, it's time to become philantropists. The Days of Y'Orr staff - yes, Jon, Justin, Robb, Purrgeron and I - will be partcipating in this year's Beard-A-Thon. If you feel like donating some money to the Bruins Beard-A-Thon and watch us grow our beautiful manes, go right ahead. Click the Beard-A-Thon graphic, which will take you right to our page.

Bruins Redemption Tour 2011

Written by Jon on .


This is it. We've waited since last May for this. All of last summer we all yearned for the season to start. We missed hockey. But the regular season, as fun as it is, wasn't really what we wanted. No, not at all.

Fans, media, players, coaches, etc can all talk about how last year's collapse is in the past and how everyone should move forward. But that is not the case is it? Deep down, you're thinking about it. The coaches are probably thinking about it. The players are almost certainly thinking about it.

Last year the Bruins became a punchline in the history of the NHL playoffs. That kind of sting doesn't go away easy.

If the Bruins blow a lead of any kind in a game, you'll be force fed highlights of that fateful Game 7. If the Bruins win the first three games of a series and then lose game 4, part of you will throw up in your mouth a litte as the experts wonder if the Bruins are falling again. Just because.

You'll argue with Flyers fans and say this is a new year, who cares what happened last year. The phrase "those who do not learn from the past are doomed ro repeat" has never applied more to the Bruins.

Anatomy of a Youppi

Written by Robb on .

While we wait for the playoffs to begin, we've had a lot of time to think and reflect.  In doing so, we stumbled upon an age old question, often asked, but never fully explored...

Just what the fuck is a Youppi???

Seriously, it's big, orange, kinda creepy, and has nothing to do with hockey nor Canada.  Hoping to find out more information, we invited it to the Days of Y'Orr office for an interview, but it was less than cooperative.  We decided to take some more...creative measures.

After the jump, we take a closer look at just was a Youppi is...other than costume that looks like something a child molester would wear.

It's Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight!

Written by Greg on .

For years, teams have been doing things during their playoff home games to give their fans and team a moment of solidarity. Being a Calgary Flames fan (my Western Conference team), I've watched the "Sea of Red" when the Flames make the playoffs (and sadly will not see it this year) and recently the Penguins have done a "White Out". Here is Calgary's "Sea of Red" in Game 1 against the Ducks.

seaofred

Here is Pittsburgh's "White Out" from last year.

Pens White Out
So it makes me question why certain teams are willing to do this solidarity and the Bruins are willing to sit on their hands and do nothing. It seems to me that the smartest thing to do is a "Black Out". The Bruins should provide the fans black t-shirts that say something on them in gold (Go Bruins, Black Out with the spoked B starting the word black) so the fans can stand together in solidarity and also become a menacing force. Players who have played in the Boston Garden, the REAL Boston Garden, said that the fans were not only there watching a game of hockey; they were a part of the game of hockey.

How do you think an opponent is going to react when they skate out onto the ice and see nothing but a sea of black t-shirts with fans chomping at the bit? How do you think the Bruins would react? There is no doubt in my mind that guys like Shawn Thornton and Tim Thomas would feed off of the energy and the "Black Out".

Unfortunately, whether it begins with Jeremy Jacobs or with the Bruins marketing/PR department, this will probably never happen. For some reason, when a team does this it screams that they're dedicated to their fans and dedicated to winning a championship. I don't know what it is, but it does.

 The playoffs are a different animal and teams should treat it as such. Add a comment

VIDEO: Jack Edwards' Ode to Composite Sticks

Written by Justin on .


Jack Edwards is a poet.
 
Classic Jack. We were waiting for Brickley to tell him to stop throwing poo afterwards.

Huge props to Brick for turning that awkward moment into something slightly less awkward. 

Also, we know Jack is saying "you spell that" but it really does sound like he's saying "you smell that."  Add a comment

ITS TIME! ITS TIME! ITS...PLAYOFF...TIME!

Big thanks to @BosBruinsFan for the awesome image

Come on man, like you didn't know that this was going to happen. With the way the last two month's of the season ended, it is only proper for the NHL Gods to place the Bruins and Habs in the first round of this year's playoffs to battle like two warriors. Days of Y'Orr wanted this match-up in the worst way. When the Bruins play Montreal, it brings out the best in us because we can't stand the Montreal fanbase. They're known for their obnoxious, crybaby, toddler like ways of handling players, games and fans of other teams. They may be the worst fan base, not only in hockey, but in the realm of sports. Unlike the New York Yankees (an annoying fanbase), the Boston Red Sox (full of pink hats) and other teams, the Habs haven't won a Stanley Cup in this decade, however their fans will talk about the 1992-1993 season like it just happened yesterday. The worst thing about that is that most of them weren't born or weren't old enough to remember the 1992-1993 season. It would be like me talking about Bobby Orr and the 1972 season like I was there. Fact: I wasn't even alive then.

To top that all off, they're fucking pussies. When Matt Cooke elbowed Marc Savard and smashed his brains into the consistency of pudding, Bruins fans were not on the phone calling 911 and demanding for the head of Matt Cooke. We weren't sending death threats to his family, his wife, his children and wishing they'd die in a plane crash. We sat in front of the TV, horror-stricken and in disbelief that something so savage could happen on the ice. That's it. We had a NATURAL fan reaction and not the reaction of a 3 year old with ADD hopped up on Red Bull and Monster energy drinks.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011 TBD Montreal at Boston (if needed)

As expected (because of Celtics scheduling), Game 1 will be on Thursday.

But back-to-back games for Game 6 and  Game 7? 

Way to blow that one, NHL.



Anyone knows if this has ever happened before?

Hopefully Bruins will wrap up the series well before a Game 6 or 7.

Montreal 911 t-shirt ready for Round 1

Written by Justin on .

Bruins. Habs. Round One.

It's war.

Days of Y'Orr is ready. We promise to bring out A-game this series.

We know a lot of you wanted us to turn our beloved Somebody Call 911 design into a t-shirt, but trademarks/copyright/etc. No way we could afford to buy Bruins merch license.

But we've done the next best thing. We've also teamed up with local vendor/blogger Rob Munstis over at BottomLine Apparel to create a Montreal 911 t-shirt.


We can already see Canadiens fans fuming as their dumbass horseshoe logo has been given a Boston gold makeover, plus mocking the 911 calls to add a little zest, if you will.

Sizes come in SM, MD, LG, XL, XXL and are only $14. Get 'em to wear to Game 1 Thursday and Game 2 Saturday. Wear 'em to Montreal. Wear it to work. Wear it while your having your special time with your significant other. Whatever. It's playoffs. It might be the last time they see you until June, anyways.

All you have to do is type is visit the BLA Store, put in your order and type in YORR in the coupon code box. This helps Rob know you came from our site to track orders.

4/11 Edit: We were told it was a coupon code, but I guess it won't accept it in that field. Put it in the Special Instructions box when you review your info. See below:


4/12 Edit: Rob at BLA just told us that he's sold out of the first round of printing of this shirt. He's printing more and will fullfil all orders but isn't sure if everyone will get the shirt before Game 1 on Thursday. He'll try his best, of course.

4/12 Edit 2: We just got word from Rob that the Montreal Canadiens are assmunchers and threatened to sue him for selling anymore shirts. Details here.

We're stoked.

Go Bruins!  Add a comment
