    I hope that they will finally and officially declare the season over, believe me I am as hard core as they come but I am tired of the constant false hope. Guy the flower may have hit it right on the head, declare bankruptcy and start over; without Bettman & Goodenow.

    Hockey is the dumbest sport in the world! These guys are arguing over more and more money. I hope this league and the sport in its entirety fall apart. Just like that steroid league...baseball.

    What the hell kind of statement is that? It sounds like something a junior high kid would say.

    And that wasn't any better.



    I LOVE watching hockey on TV, and I LOVE playing tennis...so screw you both. :p

    How can you say Hockey is dumb? It's just a sport. Maybe the NHLPA is dumb, or the league is dumb, but how can the sport itself be dumb?

    The NHL has announced that they will hold a press conference tomorrow afternoon to CANCEL THE SEASON :cry: :evil: :-&

    Some in the know are saying this could go on for another 2-3 years :roll:

    I beleive that. From what I understand the owners just can't implement a salary cap and go with replacement players. The NHLPA would hold it up by filing a lawsuit against the owners.

    This is just the begining of how ugly this is going to get.

    Unless the NHLPA conducts a vote and abides by the result, be prepared for at least another season to be washed out next year.

    god i hate the toronto hockey mad media sometmes.

    They are saying its not truely over yet, their's a ton of "chatter" behind the scene's between owners and players (basiclly bypassing the league and nhlpa).

    Im with swiper. I love the nhl and hockey more then most family members but all these up's and downs are a killer, if your going to end it, END IT

    speaking of socal, guess who's been seen on the site from a u.s. IP address lol

    Also Skater, if there's no season this year, at best, next year's "all star game" will be a replacement all-star game :p

    At least tennis players have to earn their money instead of signing a stupid contract that promises a set amount of money regardless of how good/bad they play...usually bad. Sports are getting way out of control with money and are ruining everything. Basketball and football are next. Thank God tennis and golf are individual sports because in those sports, if you don't do good, you don't eat. You have more motives to play then a nice fat check.

    Hockey sucks! Greedy bastards, they deserve to lose their season.

    careful how you say Tennis players have to earn their money, Anna Kournikova?

    Baseball truly started the upward spiral in salaries A-Rod?
