GGGRRRR....goodbye hockey????

[windsor1995]

thesightless, what i meant by the owners are idiots, is the fact that(most of them), have caused this problem by giving out huge contracts and NOT being able to run their business properly.
however, I AGREE WITH U, what they are doing now is what they should be doing and that the players need to realize that the money is just not there any more.

[Sinisterbeatz]

It will only last until the broke players out vote the rich players. If every team was run like my NJ DEVILS hockey would have no problems. Its a shame too because hockey is the best sport on earth...i like baseball but it doesnt take a lot of skill to play...look at David Wells 50 pounds over wieght and one of the best pitchers in the game pathetic...


Lets go DEVILS!!!!

[Pataky P]

I like hockey!!This is a great sport...

[thesightless]

the devils do it right. you hit the nail on the head there. team over player. look at the morons in NYC (rangers) they have the highest payroll and cant even come near the playoffs.

lets go mapleleafs.

[Terry]

agreed^^^(with sinister beatz)

this is a joke. the players are in the wrong in this one for sure and its pathetic. Hockey players are WAY overpaid, simply put. the game is my personal favorite but its not the favorite of the usa, which is why there isnt as much money in it as there is in other sports. Until the players realise this hockey is gone. Greedy bastards; the flames are finally good and they lockout. this is shitty. ANyone ever watch pro lacrosse??? its a very good substitute for hockey. If you like basketball i would recommend it also.

I am to disgusted to even talk about this

Hopefully not on the ice though :P

[remoh]

^^ why not on the ice? the devils are proven team.

i agree with sinisterbeatz. the devils have a good farm system and a gm that wont budge to give an extra penny out.....

yes it is the owners fault for offering ridiculus contract (it all started with federov)... so yes a cap is the solution.... re-structure the league and start from 0.

[bananapeel]

NHL owners group said they will go with replacements if the players union doesnt play next year. they have no problem going that route b/c they will just use the contract with a cap for those players.

Would any of you honestly watch another nhl game if they actually go to replacements player?

Wouldn't these games end up being just the same thing as watching the current ahl or the junior hockey leagues(WHL, OHL, QMJHL) games?

[groffhibbitz]

yea, hockey ticktes prices are way too expensive. S0 my question is, do the players still train now or what are they doing all this time?

[thesightless]

playing in AHL and european leagues.

the american and canadian players have stuck with the AHL, whilst the euro players haave gone back to native areas to play there. god this is pissing me off.

gonna just join an NHL2k5 league for xbox :?

Hopefully not on the ice though :P
