NHL only league that respects its players.

True but that's on average. NFL roster is more than double the size.

I get what you're saying but it's an entertainment product and these guys get paid millions. Working on holidays is part of the gig.

This is a winning thread for Lakerboy

**Booya711** · 12-23-15, 02:02 PM

or just play for the sixers so you will be guaranteed to not have to play on a holiday

**Mike Huntertz** · 12-23-15, 05:21 PM

I'd play any day at any hour if I got the dough they get.
How about Cops, FFers, Drs, etc.,....do they get no respect?

Spot on, for the amount of money they get I'll play any place, any time, any day.

I'd even miss my wedding or the birth of my child for that kinda money

Xmas is family time. We don't need games.

There's the problem. Every day should be family time.

**Mike Huntertz** · 12-23-15, 10:26 PM

Now it's about no games and family time?
What happened to no respect for millionaire jocks?

**lakerboy** · 12-23-15, 10:28 PM

Bottomline is nhl understands xmas family time.

Think a little more and you will understand why.

**unluckysob** · 12-24-15, 04:22 AM

I hate Christmas---worse time of year---fuks everything up.

**a4u2fear** · 12-24-15, 10:08 AM

That's what lockouts do for you. League keeps money down and owners get more money, and players think they are winning by getting a few days off. Owners win always

Bingo. If they thought they could make a bunch of money doing it, they would.

**packerd_00** · 12-24-15, 12:14 PM

NHL doesn't care about their players anymore then any another Sport.

**mohye1980** · 12-24-15, 12:17 PM

There's no nhl cuz no one wants to watch thT garbage. It's hard watching it even when I have money on it.

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 12-24-15, 12:18 PM

**Rich Boy** · 12-24-15, 12:27 PM

Been getting screwed over in NHL so the break is well needed

**NavsPicks** · 12-24-15, 12:59 PM

This also has to do with the buildup of world juniors. It's a pretty big tournament .

An American opinion.

I commend the league for allowing allowing players some family time during the holidays.
They even have a travel restriction in place.

This isn't about if it's watchable or not.
That's a personal opinion.

No American based sport can be watched for more than 10 minutes.
