poetica Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Poetica, you are being very drama queenish when it comes to making "fan" statements. Please know that you do not speak on behalf of all fans lol I, as a fan of hockey do not care who is on our Canucks as long as the Canucks play for the Cup. I want the CBA signed ASAP also but i side with the owners on this one. Are they greedy? Sure but thats the point of them owning a team to get $$$ and alot of it...when some whiny crysby comes along and says "You are nothing without me! Gimme MORE percentages!" Well I guess we'll see about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Last time, as someone pointed out previously in this thread, the NHL got an independent financial assessment that proved their need and that they weren't hiding revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 That's not precisely true. Certain teams were found to be hiding revenues, and overall the league had embellished their losses. But in the end the conclusion was somewhere in the neighborhood of 273$-million in lost revenues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckelhead70 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 In the meantime, might I suggest you find another team to follow if the logo is all that is important to you and not the quality of players wearing them. I hear beer leagues never have lockouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanj Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I wonder if we can create a lockout news thread and a lockout general discussion thread like we did for Luongo trade info. I personally don't care to read everyones opinions and really just coming here to see if anyone has any news. Anyone agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I agree with Sanj. Sometimes I'm the mood for the bickering, but mostly I like to come to scan for news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 No they arent. The owners wont even meet then unless they get to set the agenda. And all the personal insults or spinning isnt going to change it. Keep fighting buddy. Keep complaining. Keep whining. Im sure it will pay off for you one day.

DeNiro Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I don't know how the owners can be happy when they're paying Bettman 6 million dollars a year and he can't even negotiate regular meetings with the NHLPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 After a statement like that we all know now that you are new to hockey. Players come and go every year. Some stay for a while, some don't, some get traded some get aquired. Players generally run for the money, example Bobby Hull taking $1M to play in the WHA. The LOGO is everything, it's the team you cheer for. Without the logo you have no team, which means no players of any quality are playing. What happens when one of your favorite quality players is traded or signs else where, do you follow them to that team and start cheering for them? Or you only follow the team when they are good, bandwagon fan you are. Wait don't answer that, not in the mood to read another manifest. If you really want to show the Canucks how pissed you are at them, stop visiting their site. Everything has become clear now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Too bad the fans in TOR don't unite under a seasons ticket holder union. Fan's union: "Go back to the bargaining room, or we will cancel and ask for a refund for 100% of our seasons tickets." It'll never happen, but it would be fun to watch.

DarthMelvin Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Your point to dangle from Crosby's jock straps and have others dangle with you has failed...Unlike Fehr The players are not that strong or dominate. Soon my friend the NHLPA will fall. I can feel the mounting pressure on Fehr...and it's heavy. He can feel it too of course. The sweat glands are opening and he is flush with every desperate phone call to Daly, the Mighty Fehr trucks on...But he knows it is a matter of time before the Lappies, Malholtra's and even the Burrow's of the league start talking to him in a tone that is unpleasant to even the most durable of ears. Your continuous effort lacks something....What does lack? Spirit...yes you lack team spirit and fan love sir....that's right I said fan LOVE. This is what the players to lack. They start young with dreams to hoist the NHL's Stanley Cup. They play hockey to pay tribute to a nation's favourite past time HOCKEY! But through the CBA we now see what really dwells within the mind of todays hockey player. It's not about pension plans anymore. Its about owning a piece of that NHL pie that the owners who put up mucho of the own hard earned coin from other business's that they built from the ground up to buy a franchise and join in this huge fray that is the NHL. Do not ask me why the players don't deserve it, better to ask the player what he has contributed the team in regards to the start up and continuous rattling of of day to day goings on in the day and life of a NHL franchise Besides stepping on to the ice...
