Perspective is a bitch …This is one of the best emails I've seen re this ridiculous lockout.....somebody finally put it
in an email....I'm sure its already been forwarded to the hockey players, er, rather, the non-hockey players of the NHL!!!
There are men and woman of our Canadian Armed Forces out there saving lives, working 12 + hour shifts and
defending our country, never mind what fireman and cops do. Maybe we
should all boycott hockey when they do come back? Ya that might happen.
So the other day the NHL made the players a pretty reasonable offer, and
today on Sports Center I see Shane Doan whining and I'll quote this as
best as possible...
SHANE DOAN: "if someone is gonna rob you they say give me your money or
I will hurt you, not give me your money and I'm gonna hurt you! That’s
how we feel."
Well Shane Doan let's do some math. You've been in the NHL for 16
years. You've made $41,294,000 in those 16 years.
Which, averages out to $2,580,875 per year and $31,474.09 per game.
Last year you averaged 21:02 min of ice time per game so basically you
get paid $31,474.09 for 21 minutes of hard work.
Oh, but on a plus side to play hockey, and not for long but from
September until June, if you make it that far, and then you get the
whole summer off to play golf and relax.
WOW what a tough life! We all feel for all of you "professional hockey players"! We're all so
thankful we don't have to keep the hellish skeds you keep!! Uh, reality check??? Hello??
So really? Shane Doan, really?? Are you gonna be that hurt if you lose
$50,000, $500,000 or even a Million $ this year? or next year??
Give your head a shake and next time you wake up in the morning in
your MANSION and look in the mirror I hope you realize how ridiculous
you sounded when saying that to the Media. You POOR boy!!
Lastly I'll leave you with this since you are a Canadian. (But acting like
an arsehole)
The 3 jobs I'm about to list are technically all jobs that are
considered on duty 24/7/365, but they all get some time off here and
there, so I broke their average salaries up based off working 200 days
a year.
Avg pay per day of work - Canadian Cop - $412.27
Avg pay per day of work - Canadian Soldier - $343.25
Avg pay per day of work - Canadian Doctor - $1,216.67
Nuff said....the lunatics are running both asylums!!!!
