Will There Be Hockey Or Not?
 

NHL owners are going to offer a new deal to the players - could be just a setup for going to the Nation Labor Relations Board and destroying the players association or it could be the richest owners caving in again.

i sure hope not. that sport is so boring to watch.

I hope so, but doesnt sound like it. The way both sides are talking there may not even be hockey year.

The owners dont want capitalism in NHL, they would like to have guaranteed profits, but thats insane. If they are stupid to run a team, they shouldnt.

I highly highly doubt it

I dont care, I got plenty of hockey here in Vegas with my season tickets to the Las Vegas Wranglers.

not this year........fuckers :mad:

Right now hockey reminds me of when my TGP server went down for 2 days... (this is day #1)

I hope so

I hope the NHL folds because of the fucking little games the meatheads are playin.
Every day ... there is going to be a meeting ... there was a meeting but nothing was achieved ... blah-blah

European hockey is much better and unions sucks ass!

I hope not. My husband will have two very important things to do, watch basketball and hockey.

I hope so but I kinda doubt it, we'll know within 96 hours I just heard on the radio

The owners and profit ? is that why there has been 26 different owners in six years. At present the players get 76% of the gate revenue and no financial risk.
By the way stop dreaming this season is over

If you get the chance to watch it live or on HDTV I think you would change your mind pretty quickly. I have yet to see any sport or event translate better on HDTV then hockey does.

Im hoping it comes back soon

Yeah if your lucky to live in a city with a good minor team your laughing as its good hockey (some would even argue better) and your not missing out. but for the rest of us in the USA without a team nearby this blows, as we get no AHL or junior games like our Canadian counterparts.

We have a WHL team here in WA state that I watch from time to time but I miss watching the Stars on tv...

I am a little pissed at the NHL and the players right now for this mess but I hope it comes back next season better then before.

And fuck all of you people saying negative things about hockey... (carmensita, etc) Why the fuck do you care? If you don't like it don't watch it but don't feel like you should bash it to people that are fans of the sport...

I played hockey from when I was 7-15 and I have watched it since... It's one of the only sports I truly am interested in...although I am coming around to basketball and football lately!

i went to a sharks game before. doesn't come close to a raiders game. i dont think any sports event comes close to a raiders game its off the hook

I wish it would but I don't think so. This year St. John's lost our farm team St. John's Maple Leafs and no hockey I am not happy :(

Sports are not good for your brain. Unless you go to the games. They dont have comercials.

The Bakersfield Condors kick some wrangler ass.

Go Ice Dogs
 

I go to hockey games every weekend. Go long beach Ice Dogs. The NHL will never recover.

A 26 game season would be a joke.

It's probably belly up this year..they are shooting themselves in the foot

out of 7 games, Bakerfield won 4. Ok they are leading by 1 game but I wouldnt consider that an asskicking until the season is over. They have 2 more games against each other so it could go either way.

I really hope so, but I doubt it.

nah there is no season this year for sure, all the good players are in europe

don't think they will have a season till next Oct.

I think a better poll would be "Are you an idiot or not?"

There will be no nhl games until at least 2006. And when it does come back, it will be a perverse version of what you once knew.

uh, have you ever actually attended any profressional sporting event? there are more commericals there then on tv.

Unfortunately....no. Oh well, hopefully next year.

players just rejected the owners offer...stupid players will never play again

i feel bad for canadians..but i also miss the game :mad:

I thought this was to be the final year in St. John's.

Then it would move to Toronto for the 2005-2206 season.

This year is done. Next year they'll have it going again..

Your comparing the Sharks to a Raiders game? Raiders fans are nuts and thats the experience. But go watch a Ranger game or a Leafs or Red Wing game and make the comparason then. Especially a playoff game in one of those buildings.
