Hockey hasn't been the same since the strike. Game has changed alot and its definitely not the same game. Looking forward to being there for the opening game. LETS GO DEVILS

Season will prob not start on time but the lockout is not gonna b a whole season ... Similar to the nba a late start as the gap betwwen the nhl and nhlpa is to big to fill within a months time
Im guessing late october early december... So Gay how this is happening..

Definitely not looking good for the season starting on time at this point. I read somewhere Bettman makes 8.9 mill a year. More than basically every single player in the NHL. What a joke. Hate that goof with a passion.

Yup I will stay positive in this hopeless situation. Once it hits 1 and there's a stoppage I'll keep posting random pics maybe

He will be good in a few years. Hodgson is a good offensive guy but as soft as the Sedins. Nucks have enough softies. Originally Posted by a4u2fear

Yeah the owners are greedy pricks. Revenue has increased but these pricks want more money and Bettman will obviously side with the owners over the players. Hopefully just a month max of lockout and nothing more. The games really improved over the last few years would hate to see all that growth go to waste

So happy Foote is finally retired. Was a great player to have on your team but an annoying fcuk to be playing against and had one of the top P4P faces that just tilt me looking at

its not all the owners fault. tv ratings have gone up (from their previously dismal level), but hockey tv viewership is still dead last by a longshot relative to the other 3 major sports. they rely mainly on ticket sales for revenue. the big market clubs like the rangers, montreal, boston, etc. are fine. but the smaller market teams are struggling. I think hockey is the best sport in the world. But in the US (especially in the south) nobody watches it. Hockey doesn't generate the same revenue that the NFL, NBA, and MLB does. that's why the players make less. It isn't just greedy owners. Nobody watches hockey anymore. it's a damn shame.

Yup you are right. Bettman needs to stop keeping hopeless franchises alive and let them move to markets that will financially support them though. Phoenix and Florida are absolute jokes. When you're charging $20 for tickets and still not selling out there's no hope to turn a profit.
Also regarding TV broadcasting it's not rocket science. Eliminate teams or move them to Canada where people will actually watch. The league is watered down enough these days with scrubs so cutting 5 or so teams would be good to focus only on the sustainable markets.
