Chip Wrote:Want to know what owners to hate for this?

The commish has three groups of owners: the ones who want to play; the ones in the middle, including Tampa and Nashville, who want a better collective bargaining agreement but recognize not playing is worse; and the hardliners. It would be a mistake to underestimate the last group. There are several who would rather cancel the season than accept a bad deal because they are hemorrhaging money and need immediate satisfaction.

While the players believe Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs is calling the shots, an educated guess at the final group includes but may not be limited to Anaheim, Columbus, Florida, the Islanders, Phoenix, St. Louis, Washington and Dallas -- enough to block any agreement from getting done (It's tough to lock it down because owners are forbidden to discuss this stuff. Attempts to talk to a couple were politely shot down).


He actually left a couple teams off because he couldn't confirm them.

Blame the owners of teams in unsuccessful markets. They operate at a loss everyseason, and lose less by not fielding a team

Ticket prices suck. Minor league hockey in this area is really popular because the tickets are affordable.

Me and a friend are talking about using this chance to hit a bunch of minor league games.
Some or all of, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Toledo, Saginaw, Sarnia, Windsor and London.

It's fun since these kids who are playing are basically training for the NHL. I want to go to a few games, but I haven't had much free time to squeeze one in yet.

The best part of this lockout is it makes me realize how little I care about hockey

Well then the worst part about it for you must be that it seems it's almost over.

Hmmm. All i know is 90-95% of the sports coverage here is about the non. Hockey situation.

You wonder why I dont give a shit about the sport?

I like this point of view on Gary Bettman.
I really don't know when I'll spend money on the NHL again.

Just to keep it out of the daily, because Pete would probably find some way to go crazy over it...

Is NBC responding to the lockout by putting absolutely no effort towards this season?

Is it really any surprise that NBC would fuck something up? The worst hockey coverage in the history of hockey coverage. It makes me want to vomit that I have to watch hockey on NBC.
I was a Little League superstar, don't hate.
