Mats and Salming are both champs

Yeah and when an employer is losing money in any other business they either close up or ask for concessions. Or at the very least they start layoffs.

And hockey IS a kids game just as all other prosports are.

close the league and open it under a different name... with caps, media contracts sharing like in the nfl

It seems like hockey still brings out a lot of feelings in Canada though.

I actually also hope that they will resolve the lock-out before next season, even if that means that I won´t be able to go see Forsberg and some other NHL-star next season in the Swedish league. My reason for that is that I believe the world do need the NHL, there has been so many promising young players in Sweden this year that have had to leave their spot in the team to some NHL-player this season. I think that a too long lock-out would damage some really promising players chances of beeing really good.

I guess you have the same kind of phenomena in your junior-leagues..

How do u figure?? Explain please

I miss hockey alot but am DAMN tired of this bullshit. Not to mention the fact that a buncha people who are already very rich scrapped the season just cause they have a point to proove.
I believe the NHL will never be the same. Its lost so many fans....especially in the older crowd. But fuck em. They dont wanna have a season and make money then they dont have to.

We bitch now but the majority of us will be tuning in again when (if) it comes back.


I saw in the paper today some firm's already lookin to buy the NHL.
Anyone else hear about that?

i could care less

now if this happened 10+ years ago when the quality of hockey was actually good and it was still an entertaining sport to watch then yes I would care ... IMO they need to get rid of a few teams and make a few rule changes ...

Man, do I miss my hockey on a saturday nite But I'm getting thru it, painfully everyday. And this time next year I'm gonna be in Sweden for international exchange for 5 months or so, so you guys there better not go on strike during that time! Jonkoping here I come

I was looking forward to passing my passion fo hockey.to my kiddo..

But now im starting to reconsider.
Goddamn fuking owners,,,OOOOO a few AMERICAN teams not bringin in money..Lets punish the canadian teams too.Canada should take over the hockey ...

nope
