I was just wondering how you Canadiens feel about missing out on a whole year of hockey?
This year the league here in Sweden has been really great on your expense, since alot of good NHL players have been playing here this winter.
What do you think will happen to the NHL now? Do you miss the game?
Please tell me your thoughts on the lock-out, and also let me know if you have any favuorite Swedish player that has been playing in Canada, such as Mats Sundin, Börje Salming or someone else.
By the way, I just got home from the first Swedish playoff-game of the season. My team (Södertälje) beat Linköping with 3-0. Man of the match was Niklas Hävelid (Anaheim, now Södertälje). Brendan Morrison (who I guess you guys are familiar with) in Linköping was neutralized effectively by the defense and couldn´t really do much to change his teams destiny.

at the beginning of the season i missed it alot....but as all the bullshit talks went on and crying over money went on.....my interest wondered to something else. Now it just feels weird being in a bar and not having the hockey game on in the background.

IMO - NOT AT ALL!
U know what I don't miss at all - is the heavy traffic and drunk idiots after a game!!!
I also don't miss the annoying honking from cars/trucks after a game wins and let's out!
I don't miss the drunks!!! (I know i already said that - but had to AGAIN!)
I don't miss the fights, the sweat or the ego's on & off the ice!!
These are my thoughts!
watch curling instead -
all I miss is saying GO LEAFS GO!

I miss hockey. I miss being that drunken idiot coming home from the bar. I miss honking my horn after a playoff win. I miss thinking the cup will finally come back to toronto. I miss the sportsbar atmosphere, but most of all, I miss having hockey highlights on all those canadian sports shows instead of them fucking blabbing on and on and on about how there is 'no progress' in the negotiations.
[q]
how long can you spend talking about something with no progress?

what day of the lockout is it?

The problem isnt the owners.
If the players arent happy with millions of dollars to play a kids game then they really need to check themselves.
