    NHL Strike is over!

    I fucking wish.

    The players agents are meeting with the union head today.
    My guess is that the players are having problems keeping up their accustomed lifestyles without a regular paycheque.

    Hopefully we can get the season underway by January.

    We can only hope eh Chris.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

        I don't see it happening. The players only care about themselves. They don't understand or care that they need to make a little less for the league to survive

            I would not say ALL the players. Just the ones who feel they should be making as much as the next highest paid guy on their team that they consider to be better than.

            The richest ones don't care at all.

                    Well of course it's not everyone, but they need to realize that making a lil bit less will help the entire league. If they worked on there personal skills many of them could land endorsment deals, or they can invest the money better and get a better return on the money. If you are making 8 million a year, big deal if you have to make 6 now. You are still making millions doing what you love to do.

                        I want hockey back sooooooo bad


                        last year I moved to Canada and watched hockey for the first time ( actually paying attention) and I loved it

                        The leafs rocked it was fun being in a city with a playoffs team


                        and then they had to go on strike just when I was really getting into it

                                      Never got interested in those, but I do watch the AHL sometimes.

                                        Doesn't bother me that they aren't playing. More time on Sportscenter for other stuff. I usually only watch playoff hockey anyways.

                                          Thought this was for real, then I realized how far away they are from eachother and how unfortunately it doesnt look like there will be a season this year

                                            Bastard.. I was excited and thought I missed the story someplace..

                                            It would be interesting to see if the strike continues and the players form something new.

                                                Airline pilots took a paycut to ensure they'd keep their jobs... most of the high level execs last year took a 20% paycut... according to TIme... so why in the fuck do pro athletes think they're any better... especially for a struggling sport? It's not as profitable as anyoen thinks you know... they don't sell much merchandise in the US and they don't sell out... and TV time is limited... In Canada I can understand them making money... but not in the US where we have Basaketball Baseball and footblall and I read a report saying that poker was watched more than hockey... go figure

                                                      Fuckem I already got my Red Wings season ticket money back.

                                                      The Redwings have most of the highest paid players in the league. They also have by far the most porfitable club. I can see a teacher or airline pilot asking for more money. They deserve it. Its bullshit when you are making 200k a game or more to be whining over a pay raise and benifits. Damn

                                                      I have no sympathy for those fucks.

                                                          There's a strike? The players aren't satisfied with the collective bargaining agreement? All this time I thought it was a lock-out...

                                                                      Golfers make more in endorsements than for actually playing

                                                                      Top Basketball players make more from shoe deals then playing

                                                                      MLB and the NFL have outrageous TV contracts (or their own networks) that are paying their salaries

                                                                      Hockey gets shit because they draw shit. Everything that makes hockey exciting to watch is bad for tv because they don't want to show fighting, and there's too much non-stop action for commercials, and lets face it the average person doesn't run out and buy hockey equipment n a regular basis like basketball shoes. It's all about who else can make a buck off the game, and hockey hasn't figured out a way to do that yet. Maybe they're all just too dumb.....Like me, who keeps renewing my NY Rangers season tickets

The best commercial of the year I'd say and Molson isn't even the main sponsor anymore - however, I bet they are losing mad money over this strike!

                                                                                          They should never have started paying players millions and millions of dollars to begin with, they did it to themselves!

                                                                                                    My guess is that the players are having problems keeping up their accustomed lifestyles without a regular paycheque.

                                                                                                    Hopefully we can get the season underway by January.
