For the last two seasons, Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Bernier has worn a mask that honors the city's movie industry, with a film reel and the iconic "HOLLYWOOD" sign depicted on its right side.

According to Kings blogger John Hovan of Mayor's Manor, the owner of the Hollywood sign's trademark is now yelling "cut."

Apparently the folks who own the Hollywood sign have been in touch with the NHL regarding Jonathan Bernier's mask. According to sources, Bernier either needs to remove the sign from his current mask or he must pay royalties for using it.

After his pre-game skate this morning, Bernier appeared frustrated by the entire issue, saying 'I don't understand. Guys here have been using the Hollywood sign on their masks going all the way back to Kelly Hrudey."

Hovan spoke to Hrudey, the former Kings netminder, who expressed disappointment that the trademark issue has come up over Bernier's mask.

The word "Hollywood" isn't trademarked. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, however, owns "certain trademark rights for usage of the sign or its likeness for commercial purposes." (The commissioned creation of a goalie mask, we imagine, would fit that description.)

Hrudey's H-wood mask...back in the day.

 

eh it's only for another month. he will get traded this summer.

 

^^ This is the likely outcome over the summer.

 

I just glanced at the thread tags.

 

 

That is really stupid that they forced him to change that.

 

Big game between the Hawks and Cansucks. Hawks are within 2 of Toilet Wings and Preds...

 

Woot!

Won this!

Made it past 19:57 with no fights!

 

I went to my first hockey game a few months ago. It was fucking awesome. That is all.

 

Brad Richards just parted the Red sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Multiple great chances at both ends of the ice.

Can you say great hockey?

 

Callahan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 27th!!!!!!!!!

 

Very entertaining game between the Hawks and Cansucks. And as usual, Cansucks prove they are the dirtiest team in the League...

Burrows with more hair-pulling and now, kneeing to the groin.

 

Doan suspended 3 games.

 

Stupid hawks keep winning.

 

I don't think anyone but you or I care about the pens, but we can talk about it

don't say anything around yummy

 

While alot can still happen, I would think the Hawks are going to be either #4, #5, or #6...

 

Well, not much more to say other than what I said earlier: your team's the one to beat now.

Looking very good. And peaking at the right time.

 

I'm just glad the Hawks are now learning how to win without Toews. Not sure how many games Keith will get for his retaliatory shot to Daniella Sedin...but, I'm guessing around 3 Shana-bans.

Hopefully, they give Daniella a game or two too for his head shot on Keith.

 

With Avs rolling if the Hawks would have lost the last 2-3 I would have said they had a shot at over taking them. However the fact they have kept winning I agree they have secured finishing no worse than 6th pretty much at this point.

 

If it was a sharks game, I think you should try to give hockey one more chance. :wink:

 

Colorado Avalanche Playoff Chances
Did not play, playoff odds down 0.08 to 38.9%

 

When is Toes coming back?
Is his head still ringing?

 

No timetable. And they also lost another center yesterday to concussion possibly too (Kruger).

 

oof! No timetable....but what's the word on the street?

Back by the playoffs?

 

Possibly. He was on course to return this week but suffered a setback as his headaches returned.


The truth is, regardless of the wins right now, the Hawks aren't going anywhere int he playoffs without their captain.

 

It is still possible. They really control their own destiny since basically all the last games are against teams they are fighting with. They have to win tonight though for sure as it would give a big boost and a good separation from Phoenix.

 

^^ Most teams the Avs are fighting with for a playoff spot have played fewer games than the Avs. Games in hand is the key.

 

Hope you don't end up like the Kings did last year, when they lost Kopitar for the playoffs.

They fought hard, but clearly were missing Kopi.

I think this will be the case for the Hawks if they don't get Toes back.

 

Kings scoring since acquiring Jeff Carter, from worst to first (in the West)!



If they can keep this up, they might make the playoffs, and they will be peaking at the right time.

IF.......

 

Glad to see Deano's move is paying off.


Speaking of Kings, did you see Quakety's post about how it would look to be LA versus Chicago in the Western Conference Finals with your Kings winning that and going on to the Cup Finals?

 

Nope...didn't see it...where?

bunch of nonsense anyway.

 

Hey, if Poo says so...it's gonna happen!




Still, it would be an interesting match-up. Although, at the rate your team's going, they need to dispatch the Blues, which may not be an easy task.

 

We have to "dispatch" the Blues tonight.

 

If your team sticks to the winning formula for them lately, the Blues can be beat.

Just get ready for a rough-and-tumble affair. St. Louis plays alot like the Bruins/Rangers...

 

And for the record, Waldorf, I'm rooting for your team to make the playoffs...I can't stand two bitter peeps in here. Dealing with dom during the playoffs is miserable enough.

 

It wasn't the trade, it was that Voy....off...or whatever kid.

 

We shall see which Kings team shows up tonight...the new and improved, or the former
