2012 Offseason

[Chip]

Flyers: Fedentenko and that shitty Dman.

Penguins: Vokoun and Glass.

Two guys for each.

Talk about two teams expected to make a splash in UFA who ended up getting shut out.

At least the Red Wings got a few lower level guys.

If Doan signs with the Rangers, it is going to be a free for all for Ryan.

Semin might end up being a last resort also.

Otherwise, both teams should be HUGE trade deadline players this season.

Red Wing fans have been going nuts.
Everyone here thinks it was a total failure of an off season.

And, are you calling Schenn "that shitty D-man"?

I had to look it up, because I had no idea who you were talking about.
Bruno Gervais?
He'll be lucky to play.

[Pete Nice]

Yeah, Gervais. I have seen him play, he sucks

[Chip]

Yeah, Gervais. I have seen him play, he sucks

Haha.
Well, I hope I don't see him play.

[Chip]

Maybe this is the real reason the Devil's didn't re-sign Parise.

Fuck this ass hole.

"I reconfirmed something that the union has been told multiple times over the last nine to 12 months, namely that the time is getting short and the owners are not prepared to operate under this collective bargaining agreement for another season, so we need to get to making a deal and doing it soon," Bettman said outside of the league's offices in midtown Manhattan. "And we believe there's ample time for the parties to get together and make a deal, and that's what we're going to be working toward."

The league got everything they wanted last time.
Revenue went from something like $2 billion to $3.3 billion. And they can't operate under it?
This time around, the issue should be all about "revenue sharing" because the league got their "cost certainty" last time.

Sweet Iron Maiden mask.

Great.
Instead of tweeking what has been working, and apparently working great, the 2 sides are going in entirely different directions.

Idiots.

Lower the player percentage a few points, increase revenue sharing and call it a day.

Can't wait to see Parise suit up for the Pens this year... Oh, wait... That didn't happen... The Wild got him!!!! :lol:

If they miss part of the season, I might just say fuck the NHL until they fire Bettman.

He's a piece of shit.

(2008): "We now have a system that works for everybody -- but most importantly for our fans."

(2012): "We feel we are paying players more than we should be, it's as simple as that"

(2012): "We are not prepared to play another year under the current system."

[Chip]

The players, or someone, should be circulating this more.

The Great One is optimistic about the NHL's labour situation. Wayne Gretzky said Monday that he believes the league's current lockout will end before the showcase Winter Classic between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Great. January 1st is optimistic?
