Hockey Is Back: NHL And Players Reach Tentative Deal, Ending Lockout
- Thread starter CDNBear

Well, they certainly are a self-centred bunch on both sides, so it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they did lose a few paying fans. What we have here is some of the richest people in the world (comparitively speaking) not giving a sh*t about the Zamboni operator, the hot dog vendor or the motel owner across the street from the arena. It's all about greed and self aggrandizement (think that's a word)-
I might have cared three months ago but I'm no longer addicted to watching the game I played for twenty years and coached
for another ten. Hell's bell's these turkeys knew what the costs and the revenues were the day the lock-out started and it took
a hundred odd days to decide how the players and owners would split the proceeds. Who cares!!

Think of all the big bucks more that the fans will have to shell out for a NHL game. The fat cats in Toronto won't notice but the rest of the league will and the teams in the NHL will start to fall like a house of cards.
I would hope fans would stay away for the rest of the season. only supporting minor hockey.
To send a message to these millionaires and billionaires who really pays their paychecks. and have them realize that they're still only playing a game .

Yep, Bettman has about as much class as an onion sandwich!...........and Brian Burke. But still the greed isn't all confined to Bettman.
Hey, I love onion sandwiches.
Recipe
Slice a large spanish onion and soak the slices in wine vinegar for twenty minutes.
Warm several crusty buns
Open a jar of pickled herring
Slice a bun and butter both halves
Stack one half of the bun with alternating layers of onion and herring
Top the layers with the other half of the bun

Bettman is a clown, but blaming the owners on this, I think is wrong.
If the NHLPA wants a fixed % of the revenues, then shell-out that same % of the money to build the arenas and the team jets..
Hell, they were even bitching about getting money from beer sales and parking? Maybe these chumps can help sell the beer and be the parking attendant if that's what they feel they're owed
Just add a shot glass and a bottle of frozen vodka.
I'd like to see what is in the NHLPA's portfolio.
It'd be interesting, that's for sure..... But it still makes my head spin how a group that has zero money at risk can demand guaranteed salaries (with no return guarantee of performance) and still demand such a big slice of the pie without risking one penny of their own?
Without knowing what they have invested in, which could be vendors, parking lots, t-shirts and poutine it's hard to say.
We have been well entertained with the World Junior competition, juan - and there has been no lack of good hockey if people were willing to support their local teams and get out to the games.
