They had better get their act together so they don't cancel another season. If I have to spend all of next winter watching the Atlanta Hawks I might just jump off of the BellSouth tower

did anyone catch the press conferences? It was pretty much a "don't ask me ask him it's his fault" kind of deal. Like a bunch of 7th graders.
i swear as a fan i've never felt more abandoned. Doesn't look like they'll get anything resolved anytime soon.

Look I was dreaming I realize this, both groups were far too greedy to allow for the common fan.

sorry hockey peeps .. the season is over .. and by the way it looks right now, i dont think there will be a next season either, until the nhlpa can make some agreement with the owners .. god damn it .. just take the paycut and move on .. i know taking a paycut is bad, but it would be a lot better than playing for the AHL or the russian hockey league, where pay is wayyyyy less than the final paycut the owners were asking for.. (you can rip me here .. there are times when you do it for the money, and other times you do it for your fans, who are the ones buying tickets that go to the salary .. yeah bettman is lowblowing the players with a huge paycut, but face it .. i don't think hockey revenue sales are as high as it was 10 years ago .. maybe that's why the nhl was about to file for chapter 11 to protect themselves .. they were so much in debt .. but still, the players need to think about the fans, and just play .. just imo )

but i feel you hockey fans .. i was pissed when the nba went on strike, and had to hear patrick ewing everyday with his words representing the players .. i was happy watching the cba amateurs playing, than watch patrick ewing talk .. that was how desperate i was to see some basketball ..
