Guess what, you lost ESPN and your respect as a sport last time! Now women’s college basketball draws equal ratings…..WOMAN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL!

You blow this up again and that deal with NBC is gone and you can forget having the best players in the world, they just will migrate to the KHL. Fire Bettmen, fire the head of the players association and get people who want to work together.

Ps avg household income per year is 40k per year, season tix to NHL around 5k. Any salary for a player in any league over 250k per year is simply greed therefore I don’t sympathize for any of you jerks.

Maybe instead of playing meaningless games, they should lock themselves in a room and figure a deal out before you alienate the fans…again

Thus far I’ve tried to keep a positive take on this issue, given that we LA Kings are the Stanley Cup Champions and all, looking to defend our title,etc. But during the course of these past 48 hours I’ve had a “vision” … and it’s a vision friends, which I can only describe as “troubling” ? …

In my vision I see a “pathetic” attempt by these “wealthy” parasites to appease us sheep, by offering up some lame “recycled” garbage tournament, featuring the “gangster-owned” KHL vs the so-called NHL heroes. Oh yes, the “wealthy” parasites will try to placate our anger by pointing out that it’s the “40th anniversary” of the greatest tournament ever played ! … “us against them” etc. Well let me go on the record here by saying right here and now, that if we loose just one “single” game this coming season due to “wealthy” parasitic greed, then the NHL can seriously “go to hell” as far as I’m concerned ! … not to mention that they can also take this stupid KHL vs NHL “ersatz” crap and shove that up their fat “entitled” asses as well !

Like many of you, I’m also just a regular guy who loves hockey (ie: the LA Kings ), as it’s part of my life and it “defines” me in so many ways. That being said however, one thing I am “not” is some hooker or a dog, who is expected to respond “obediently” to the orders given by a controlling pig ! There’s an unwritten agreement at play here, which dictates that “fan loyalty” is always reciprocated with “team loyalty”. So if these idiots don’t get their collective “idiocy” in check pretty quick, then suffice it to say, that I’ll be checking out of this hotel for good !

Cramming for exams doesn’t work in school and cramming for info doesn’t work now, nor do I believe the PA is actually that unprepared and/or stupid. They are playing chicken with the deadline and forcing the owners to make all the moves so they can sit back and say “It wasn’t us.”

No it wasn’t you Mr Fehr who is about to lock out the players and perhaps cause a work stoppage but you are the one who wouldn’t take anything seriously aside from your star players salary (and only the star players, most players would be largely unaffected by the drop in salary)

if you were serious about good faith negotiations you’d have had a draft counter proposal ready before the NHL’s even hit the table and it would have been edited and before the owners before the week was out. Instead we get this nonsense asking for more info and claiming the end of the contract is “not a magic date”. Get your offer in to the table now so that the owners can look at it and actually do business, all you are doing is holding the process hostage.
