what's the fkn deal here? I havent been really following this. All I see is "Union" and "problems"...I'm sure the owners are unrealistic in their own regard, but usually this pension shit we get unions wanting defined benefits when that shit is just no longer realistic anymore.
That's pretty much the jest of it. Neither side deserves any sympathy, both sides have egomaniacs at the helm, both sides have dug in their heels too hard and pissed the other off. We hear about different 'sticking' points ever other day. Right now it's apparently the Union demanding pension but next week it will be something else they want or the league won't budge an inch onOriginally Posted by FBD
Fuck yes. Hockey is coming back. Lockout is done
I guess I should be happy and all, but honestly, I just don't care anymore.

Its always different in Canada when it comes to hockey (I stayed up until 6:11 AM...when the deal was announcedI guess I should be happy and all, but honestly, I just don't care anymore.
)
Here, fans who are like you and don't care about it, WILL come back (Or most of them)...can't say the same for "Non-hockey markets"
This times 1000I guess I should be happy and all, but honestly, I just don't care anymore.
Fuck them
I really want to boycott and not care... I just love the game too much and the NHL can't be matched. So I'm happy. At least there should be 10 years to repair the relationship with the fans again... Maybe some fans like lance and DGX will never come back but the sport is growing like crazy in the US. It will be survive this I think
Guys, I grew up on hockey. I grew up idolizing the Flyers. It's not a matter of markets, it's a matter of seeing a bunch of grown men acting worse than spoiled 3 year olds. It's left a bad taste in my mouth. I have no sympathy for these guys. I would rather waste my time watching all the minor league guys who do it for the love.
I will more than likely go back to watching it, but every time I see a game, instead of seeing a bunch of hard asses on the ice, all I'm gonna see are a bunch of grown men in diapers with pacifiers in their mouths.

Sad news to report.. the Toronto Maple Leafs have just been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
Now that's funny.

This just in. Rick DiPietro has torn a rotater cuff in a high five celebrating the end of the lockout and will miss the entire season.
Watch this be the first and last year the Canucks win the Cup, and it will have a big fat asterix beside it for being a short season
So what's the deal then.. when do they start? are they really going to play a 3-month season and think that's enough?
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
I guess. Sounds like either 48 or 50 games starting on either January 15 or 11. It will be a weird season. One losing streak of five or six games and a solid team could miss the playoffs.
I'm too young to remember the last shortened season, maybe one of the older fans can tell us what is more unique about playing that few games?
So much this...I was born in Boston, lived in Massachusetts for many years, and spent the first half of my life in New England. I used to bleed Black and Gold every hockey season. Ray Bourque was my idol when I was growing up.
Now I'm with DGX 100% on this one. Screw them and their greedy fucking selves.
