WFAN to hold funeral for NHL

[NYRangers]

IN MEMORY OF HOCKEY

In response to the many listener's calls ranging from outrage at the players and the league, to sadness at the loss of their favorite sport we will hold vigil for the FANs to mark the demise of the hockey season. WFAN will conduct a memorial service tomorrow in hopes of providing some light-hearted relief.

The "memorial procession," led by a hearse carrying WFAN's Joe Benigno and Sid Rosenberg, will depart at 1pm from the WFAN studios and end at Ben Benson's Steakhouse, 123 W. 52nd St. (between 6th and 7th) in Manhattan. All fans are welcome to attend the ceremony to share their grief over the untimely death of their sport. This ceremony will be open casket and FANs are encouraged to bring their hockey memorabilia and or unused game tickets and officially bury the season. WFAN radio personalities will deliver eulogies in memoriam of the game, and a giant sympathy card will be available for fans to sign.

They are making a valid point that this labor dispute has killed the game we love and it won't ever come back the way we knew it!

Be philosophical about it. Sometimes change isn't a bad thing. If this whole mess has the league come out of its complancency and change the on-ice product for the better, I'm willing to wait, and ultimately come back. I'm sure others feel the same way.

Damn are they slow. WDFN in Detroit had a NHL Funeral last friday for the 2004-2005 season.

Ironic they are holding a funeral for something they have covered 10x more without games then they ever would have if games were being played now. Most of the WFAN people could not name five players on the three local teams...

I was listening to someone take calls on WFAN last Saturday night. Whoever the host was, he thought there were 28 teams in the NHL.

I think WFAN needs to worry about having a trial to find who killed the NHL before they get to any funeral.

I'd love to hear NHLPA litigation on the case... my god it'd be a riot!

 

[Habsfan 32]

I want to attend it.
