Comments on: Players to begin voting Sunday to give authority to dissolve union http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/15/players-to-begin-voting-sunday-to-give-authority-to-dissolve-union/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:01:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: id4joey http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/15/players-to-begin-voting-sunday-to-give-authority-to-dissolve-union/comment-page-1/#comment-118926 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 16:41:32 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=884231#comment-118926 I predicted there will be talks this week. The PA is in the ropes waiting for Fehr to throw in the towel, and Bettman and team will land the final blow this week.

I mean we can do our voting in one day as citizens of the USA so why can’t some overpaid NHL morons do it too? I guess they need 4 whole days to figure out how to vote without using a stick.

NHL players use the directions for Head On for how to use their hockey sticks “Apply directly to the forehead”.

This union decertification joke is going to cost another two weeks where both sides could be bargaining in earnest, the good news is you can kiss off the first two weeks of January now. The following week will be Christmas and all the NHL is going to leave it’s foolish fans is coal in their stockings.

Na na na na, Na na na na, Hey-ey Goodbye!!!

For NBA and NFL it quickly lead to reaching agreement. Moderate owners will not want to go through with this and thankfully there aren’t enough hard-liners that can go through this by themselves.

Somehow my faith in an agreement being reached, is now being rapidly replaced by almost a desire for these idiots to really do themselves in … and that’s a shame as it should never have come to this. But it sure is entertaining eh ? :)

The vote is only to authorize the executive committee and not to begin the process. There will be an agreement well before this

The players have already lost several weeks of game checks. This move could result in the cancellation of the entire season.

Next season the NHL will start over again with around a $25 million dollar salary cap per team. Ticket prices will have to be slashed by 50-75% to try to win back fan support.

Nothing is more expensive then regret

It’s way better than the KHL, in my opinion. but then again I hate the euro-trash game they bring to North American Hockey.

For 30 bucks a month I get unlimited ECHL hockey on America One Sports online, including access to the Video On Demand archives of past games!!!

ps. I do not work for the ECHL, I am promoting it out of pure passion for my team, the Fort Wayne Komets, who are celebrating their 60th season with the legendary rink announcer Bob Chase!

Don’t let the NHL ruin your families Christmas! I know there is no way to explain this to the kids, but take them to your local AHL or ECHL teams games! The tradition lives on!
