that was one of my favorite parts...........and i'm from Long Island......Scugs said:Also the part about the NHL not even helping Winnipeg and Quebec when they were in trouble.. then bending over backwards when places like Nashville and Carolina are doing horrible. WTF?
Scugs said:If you're pro-PA, how can you watch a player say that and still support that s.o.b. Goodenow?
KEEEL!

So many of these owners are just out of line and could care less about the game. Not only do these owners not care, but our commissioner doesn't either and it's absurd. It's f******* ridiculous. It's sad incredibly sad when 3 out of the 6 original NHL teams are garbage because of greedy businessmen owners. As I have said on my blog since I created it in December, I am pro-player not because I agree with there multi million dollar salaries, but because Bettman and the owners are 100% responsbile for ruining this game. I couldn't agree more with Domi over the reason they have moved teams out of Canada and into Carolina etc. As I have said on my blog forever, they moved them there just for a quick cash grab. What idiots they are to not see this problem in the future.
It is absurd how much the players have given and Bettman is just making them bleed like crazy to get the absolut best deal for a sweet contract extension. The two sides are meeting soon in the next few weeks and if I don't see some owner concessions I give up. It's just not fair what they are doing. They have to make a partnership like Tie said, and until they do so, the NHL is going to SUCK because of Gary

R0CKET said:You can make it as big of an issue as you want, but that doesn't change the reality that it is a fact that the PA chose not to look at the NHL's books.
Stop acting like an Oliver Stone groupie who sees a conspiracy behind every corner and start dealing with facts.
ABSURD IS HOW MUCH PLAYERS HAVE MADE IN THE NHL PLAYING A GAME AND BLEEDING THE FANS LIKE CRAZY.10 years of rediculous contracts.nyrmessier011 said:I have always respected Domi and i respect him more now.

WAKE UP BUDDY .
The new cycle says owners make money its there turn.They didint shut down a 2.1billion dollar business just for the fun of it.They made a mistake and now its there job to solve the problem.You cant possible allow the patients in the assylum to set the new rules or you are back where you were.
shakes said:Wait.. who was "bleeding the fans like crazy"? Last I heard, players don't set ticket prices, concessions or parking. Most big market teams will have the exact same ticket prices with a 30 million dollar salary cap as they did with a 60 - 70 million dollar payroll. And Domi was right.. where was the NHL when Quebec City and Winnipeg were in trouble?
