I mean the password thing not the fact that the NHL season looks as good as dead. The whole thing sucks, but I stand behind the owners. It's their league. If they want to tie what they pay the players to the revenue the league generates, who are the players to say that they can't do that. What's good enough for NFL and NBA players isn't good enough for NHL players??? Brad Riter had a great analogy, the NHL is like a broken ATM machine that keeps spitting out money and the players are happy enough to pick it up. Now the bank owner has realized that the ATM was broken, apitting out money and wants to fix it and the players seem to say that since the ATM used to spit out money it ALWAYS should. (Sorry Brad, I'm not doing you justice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even watch college basketball until then, but it seems in march some of the best games EVER are played... The NBA is awful... i mean, i don't know how people pay to watch that garbage. And baseball? I'll try to show interest again, and then realize I could get 2 hours of work done between each pitch... YAWN.. Man, this realy sucks.

kasper13 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 To me it comes down to the players being STUPID. The league said "Play for $2 million a season instead of $4 million or don't play at all". Players chose to not play at all. Their loss. Start the league over again next fall and use AHL, ECHL & replacement players. Cut ticket prices down to $10 bucks each. The difference won't be all that noticeable and most of the NHL players will end up coming in and playing anyways. It's not like these guys are going to go work at Tim Horton's or on the family farm in Canada. What else are they going to do? Stupid. Stupid people.

jayg Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hahaha, I'm not sure if I should be insulted or just laugh. My initial instinct was to laugh so I think it's very funny.

I've been screaming for replacement players since this whole thing started. Did anyone really think they'd negotiate their way out of this one?

gmac17 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 2) Not that its my business (when has that ever stopped me before), but you say it's you and your girlfriend eight years ago. Does that mean you've been dating the same girl for 8+ years? Here: http://www.debeers.com/ and if you aren't still dating her you are a pathetic loser for putting a picture of your ex girlfriend as your avatar.
