NHL Strike is over! - GoFuckYourself.com

Evil Chris · 11-17-2004, 11:01 AM

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.

Moe 69er · 11-17-2004, 11:02 AM

We can only hope eh Chris.

xclusive · 11-17-2004, 11:02 AM

Stupid fucks are in asport that is on it's last legs in many cities and they pull this bullshit they deserve whatever happenes to them...

.:St Ides:. · 11-17-2004, 11:03 AM

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

XxXotic · 11-17-2004, 11:03 AM

damn tease

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.

MonsterCock · 11-17-2004, 11:08 AM

I hope hockey is gone forever because hockey sucks so much.

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.

Nicky · 11-17-2004, 11:16 AM

I for sure hope this strike will last all season, I want to keep Fredrik Modin, Henrik Zetterberg Mikka Kiprussof and others in my home town team this season out!

Tanker · 11-17-2004, 11:32 AM

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

EviLGuY · 11-17-2004, 11:32 AM

Yeah I been missing my hockey fix too.

Anyone catch that great Molson Canadian commercial about it?

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

Sosa · 11-17-2004, 12:04 PM

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

KingAsher · 11-17-2004, 12:08 PM

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

RevSand · 11-17-2004, 12:09 PM

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.

CybermedAndy · 11-17-2004, 12:09 PM

Rinaldo · 11-17-2004, 12:10 PM

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.

Goatse · 11-17-2004, 01:07 PM

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

Rich · 11-17-2004, 01:09 PM

asshole.

OG LennyT · 11-17-2004, 01:15 PM

NHL isnt going on? oh wow I didnt notice

Deb · 11-17-2004, 01:25 PM

Damn you, Evil Chris! I'm gonna tell FB you're toying with my emotions here!

Kre8t0r · 11-17-2004, 01:26 PM

Is it just me or does anyone else notice that the more phyisical the sport the less you are paid?

Golf players make millions....

Basketball and baseball contracts are 5-10x what a football player makes...

And last the poor Hockey players that loose teeth like I loose change get less pay than all of the above...

I think Hockey and Football players are getting the shaft!

It has little to do with the physical nature of it, as it does who else can make a dime off their play.

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

Odie · 11-17-2004, 02:22 PM

damnit Chris!! u freakin tease!!!

Jensen · 11-17-2004, 02:47 PM

Chris... damn! almost made my day.. no my month..

Is there any news from todays meeting or what? Hockey is the best sport to watch and my most profitable so badly want the NHL back

arial · 11-17-2004, 03:31 PM

I was hoping the ducks would take the cup this year, maybe next.

I knew this thread was too good to be true

Thanx to the rangers, leafs, red wings, stars, for overpaying your players and throwing the salaries out of whack...you'll pay in the end though when you have to cut payroll in half and all the big names on the leafs retire by the time hockey it back.

LMFAO YES! A bunch of grown men singing Culture Club's 'Do you really want to hurt me' is almost priceless! 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!

Well, today's meeting of the agents and the union was not good news for the league...
