Favvi Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 forgot about hockey [in dusgust] for the time being i cant believe how greedy those mother****ing players are nhl will never be the same... :angry: :angry: they are just playing a game. sure they are entertaining but its not worth no 5-10 mill a season, when there are plenty of people actually contributing to society and would have no possible way of making that much in 30 years. money is :x .

gigapixels Veteran Posted January 30, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm just dealing with it... Besides, I hardly watch TV anyway, even when the season's going, so I'm really not missing it too much. I'd be far too busy to pay it the attention it deserves.

glasscleaner Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 yeah true, i think baseball is the next sport to have the same problem i spend 115 (cad)$ to see the flyers on the ice. now, i spend 14(cad)$ to see donald breshear (and many other nhl players) on the ice at my home town :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's anyone in Edmonton that doesn't feel that way. If the owners don't get cost certainty, we can kiss the Oilers goodbye. What I can't get over is that those f***ers, errrhhh, I mean players, are so damn greedy, that they would risk some of the small market teams folding ...which means fewer jobs for them...but they would still do it just to line their own pockets!!! Where's the sense in that? I'm a true Canadian who's grown up on the game since the late 1970's, so I totally miss it and feel that void. ...but I honestly don't want to pay top dollar to watch a team that can't afford to compete: Edmonton, Calgary, Buffalo, Pittsburgh all need this deal just to remain viable and ice a competitive team. In the meantime, I've been watchin' Sportsnet's classic hockey matchups. Nothing beats watchin' the 1980's era of the Battle of Alberta. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the sense in that? 585382625[/snapback] Well I have to commend the NHL for actually taking action against the players. Any other sport would have just let it go and given in, but the NHL had the balls to suspend the season to get the players in line. Props to that. As much as I miss watching the great games, I can't help but think it's for a good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 yeah but look how bad other sports are too. 585382590[/snapback] yes but the nhl market is not near as large as other professional leagues.. cant wait till this is over and a salary cap is in place [ bettman recently said the NHL would not compromise on the cap ] ..and to see the oilers skate again :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted January 30, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2005 well, i watched a lot of tennis. it really sucks though once the nfl is over. i wish espn would cover some more college hockey, since i don't get to see michigan play anymore in cali.

Steffan Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I have started to play more attention to the local AHL team. I have also played more video games and watch more tv. Soon, I'm going to start studying for certifications and get a full time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted January 30, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2005 The NLL has started so that'll give me a near hockey fix. I can't get into watching a AHL game on TV. Maybe it's just the camera work being so comparatively unprofessional. I feel sorry for Americans who can't watch HNIC. Some of the NHL games that I've seen on American TV (i.e. Sunshine Network in Florida) have been atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU MUST GET SOME HOCKEY :) 585382527[/snapback] Erm, not really. I'm a "real" hockey fan (whatever that's supposed to mean) and I'm not watching any hockey right now -- just waiting for the NHL to resume. Possibly the WHA if it ever gets off the ground, too.

DevilsJim89 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Well since my fav team Devils aren't on I just pay attention to my high school ice hockey team and I've been keeping myself busy with that. I dont watch college hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
