NHLPA Offical PC Thread: 4pm EST

[DevilFisch]

This PC is making my inner desire to see the NHLPA broken grow more and more.

Good question by that fellow: Why did the NHLPA take so long to agree to a cap?

Another GREAT question from..The Army? He asked about the fans. Goodenow is toast on this.

GREED?! The NHLPA had to be dragged kicking and screaming before agreeing to a cap and it's because of getting fair value? Fair value my foot. Martin LaPointe getting $5.5 million/year isn't fair value in any sense of the term.

How can this guy sleep at night.

 

[Greschner4]

Blaming owners for salary escalation when the NHLPA helped orchestrate it by coordinating salary demands for players. One lie, right out of the box.

You can't on the one hand blame the owners for escalating salaries and then blame them on the other hand for trying to do something from stopping them from escalating so fast.

God I hate this guy.

 

[Dr Love]

I'm amazed Goodenow can say half this crap with a straight face.

 

[no13matssundin]

Wow. Now Bob is attempting to tell us that this isnt about greed for the players. Rrrrrrright.

 

[Digger12]

Bob can throw feces anywhere he wants, but it doesn't change the fact that he failed to get the players he works for a deal. He LOST. And he is simply and sadly too bullheaded to admit defeat.

I think there's a good chance that a lot of the NHLPA rank and file are feeling let down by the people that bargained on their behalf.

Surely they can't be under the delusion that a better deal than what they turned down will be presented to them in 05/06? They can't be that utterly stupid, can they?

 

[Game_Misconduct]

Well, the World Championships should have some pretty good players in it this year.

 

[MissTeeks]

This guy is great. Everything he says makes me laugh. And not in a good way.

 

[EdBelfour20]

"If you want to talk about greed, maybe you should be talking to the other side" :lol come on, Bob.

'Where do you go from here, now that linkage will be on the table?'

Goodenow had a deer in the headlights look and stuttered his response, I love it

 

[Nordik_19]

Glen Healey said that we weregonna see Bob Goodenow at his best and I have to agree ! An idiot at his best !

 

[Juni]

Bob, PLEASE shut up, you're killing me.

 

[Mountain Dude]

I'm amazed Goodenow can say half this crap with a straight face.

Word.

I couldn't stand listening to it, I had to turn it off.

I hate the players, unless you cross the line next year, you're just a ****er in my mind.

Is that a rhetorical question?

 

[Leafer4Life]

Here we go, blame game again..........

 

[bymer]

who cares about the fans?

this guy has to be asked for an apology. OMG

 

[no13matssundin]

Wow... GREAT APOLOGY Bob.. by blaming Gary. Nice.

This is SUCH a tool.

 

[sandman441]

Now he apologizes to the fans. HAHA and he blames bettman saying he owes an apology.

 

[kerrly]

This guy is classless. 100%

 

[Dr Love]

He didn't apologize to the fans until he was asked to. And then said Gary should too. Didn't Bettman already apologize to the fans?

 

[PecaFan]

Nice. The frickin' press had to remind Bob about the fans. And even then, he offers a half hearted apology, and then distances himself from it.

 

[Anthony*]

i think bob just realized he screwed up by not apologizing in his opening remarks

 

[Juni]

He needs to be prompted to apologise to the fans. Jesus H..... :lol

 

[bymer]

i think bob just realized he screwed up by not apologizing in his opening remarks

didn't do his homework

(note to self: review GB's speach next time)

 

[incawg]

That was the most half-assed apology that ive ever heard. This guy doesn't give a **** about the fans.

 

[Leafer4Life]

Not happening, thanks a lot @sshole...........
