i'm not denying that people are reporting this..but we've seen a lot of other bogus stuff reported in the past months.

you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. i can't handle any more of that. this tragedy in four acts is finally over, and i intend to accept that.

I'm sorry, but that's just such a poorly written article. Too vague, way too personal...it's not good journalism at all.

Im sure, nothing will happen in PHOENIX...come on there all in Toronto and New York, this is B.S....Just deal with it, HOCKEYS OVER..I would love it, if it was true though.

It's like Eklund wrote it.

From that article:

"I've learned that the players are so upset; they are literally exploring legal options as of late Wednesday to see if they can somehow accept the league's final offer of a salary cap of $42.5 million.

I believe the players want to be back on the ice because right now the owners have them by the throat. Since they've already agreed to a salary cap, what’s stopping the league from setting the cap in the mid 30's next summer?"

I actually do believe that some players feel this way right now. But are there enough of them that do? And are they going to get together and do anything about it anytime soon? Maybe...

Not only is the journalistic integrity below par, but the level of diction is about sixth grade.

ya, cause phones don't work in PHOENIX

Brett Hull is in Phoenix. Not hard to get a comment out of him.

Gtrezky is in Phoenix. He was a big player in the last labour dispute...

Not saying anything is happening, but I could easily see him, Mario, and a few others deciding to take back control of the league from these jokers... It's happened before.

Isn't Jeremy Roenick in Phoenix too? As in his off-season home.

Hey they mentioned us!

what they said?

 

[drbill28]

He just said he found the AZCentral story on this website.

 

[Chandler55]

this radio station must suck, how could they let Eklund on.
WTF

 

[two out of three*]

what they said?

Just that they found the link to the Phoenix channel on hockeysfuture.

I posted our proposal in hope they read again.

I just heard about this board listening to the streaming feed from 1200 in Ottawa. Nice to find fellow fans to sulk with.

They are saying on 1200 that 450 + players are behind this mutiny.

 

[two out of three*]

What he's heard? Yeah. From who?

 

[VAN-HAB]

I am listening to Eklund now. I can't believe the station bought into Eklund's crap.

 

[two out of three*]

I hope the TEAM surfs this thread one more time, and figure out how much credibility that guys got.

 

[nomorekids]

radio stations that use hockey messageboards as sources hold about as much water with me as posters who use Eklund as a source.

But hey, this all seems cyclical, so maybe we're on to something!

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I can't believe Team1200 let Eklund on and actually called him EKLUND. I was cracking up every time they actually used the name "Eklund" to talk to him.

 

[two out of three*]

Can somebody call in, and set these guys straight.. Tell them how credible Eklund is?
