And the funniest part of all?....Most people have given up caring. It's hard to have sympathy for a guy making, what, between $20K and $80K a game...in which he'll maybe play 20 minutes.......

I'll watch the World Juniors and the WHL games - at least they are interested in playing.

Just proves it's all about the money....not the game, and most certainly not the fans!!!!!

You got that right. The Economist had a column on the lockout: it was titled 'Billionaires vs. Millionaires'. That sums it up nicely.

This was never about the fans.

Fuck the players for thinking this is a partnership.

Fuck the Owners for trying to roll back salaries.

Fuck them all...NFL's been great this year

My sentiments

Figured I would creatively give my 2 cents

Yep!
And Man U are 7 points clear at the top of the Premier League......all good.

There's an unintentionally ironic commercial for some cold medication, featuring Jarome Iginla apparently enjoying a good night's sleep - he might as well sleep like a baby, 'cos the pressure's off this year. Of course, at the Calgary Flames, is it ever really on?....

I am putting the money I would have spent on NHL related tickets and products to better uses this year:
1. Theatre
2. Charities
3. She male escorts

In that order?

Guess what?

In the 3 lockouts (94-95, 04-05, 12-13) a total of 2,323 games have been cancelled.

It'd be interesting to know how many folks in the newer US franchises know/care that (i) hockey went away; and (ii) hockey came back.

It's a shame - hockey can be the best team-sport to watch out there, in my opinion. Too bad about the owners and players - they're doing a fine job of screwing it up.......
